Electrostatic Discharge

(ESD) Considerations

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) (for example, caused by touching with
the hand) can destroy semiconductor components. The correct
operation of the complete system is then no longer assured.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) warning

CAUTION

...........................................................................................................................................................................

Destruction of components by electrostatic discharge

Electronic components can be destroyed by electrostatic
discharge. Circuit packs must always be kept in antistatic
covers. Use the original packaging if possible

Use a static ground wrist strap whenever handling
circuit packs or working on the Metropolis ® DMXplore
system to prevent elec trostatic discharge damage to
sensitive components.

All semiconductor components are basically sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. The electrostatic discharge can also affect the components
indirectly using contacts or conductor tracks.

Circuit pack handling precautions

Industry experience has shown that all integrated circuit packs can be
damaged by static electricity that builds up on work surfaces and
personnel. The static charges are produced by various charging effects
of movement and contact with other objects. Dry air allows greater
static charges to accumulate. Higher potentials are measured in areas
with low relative humidity , but potentials high enough to cause damage
can occur anywhere.

Observe the following precautions when handling circuit packs/units to
prevent damage by electrostatic discharge:

• Assume all circuit packs contain solid state electronic components
that can be damaged by ESD.

• When handling circuit packs (storing, inserting, removing, etc.) or
when working on the backplane, always wear a grounded wrist
strap such as the one shown in Figur e 1, Static Control W rist S trap
(page -xxiv) or wear a heel strap and stand on a grounded, static
dissipating floor mat. If a static dissipating floor mat is used, be
sure that it is clean to ensure a good discharge path.

365-372-334 R2.0
Issue 4, November 2004

• Wear working garment made of 100% cotton to avoid electrostatic
discharge.

• Handle all circuit packs by the faceplate or latch and by the top
and bottom outermost edges. Never touch the components,
conductors, or connector pins.

• Store and ship circuit packs and components in their shipping
packing. Circuit packs and components must be packed and
unpacked only at workplaces suitably protected against build-up
of charge.

• Observe warning labels on bags and cartons. Whenever possible,
do not remove circuit packs from antistatic packaging until ready
to insert them into slots.

• If possible, open all circuit packs at a static safe work position,
using properly grounded wrist straps and static dissipating table
mats. If a static dissipating floor mat is used, be sure that it is clean
to ensure a good discharge path.

• Always store and transport circuit packs in static safe packaging.
Shielding is not required unless specified.

• Keep all static generating materials such as food wrappers,
plastics, and styrofoam containers away from all circuit packs.
Upon removal from bay, immediately put circuit packs into static
safe packages.

• Whenever possible, maintain relative humidity above 20 percent.

T o reduce the possibility of ESD damage, assemblies a re equipped with
grounding jacks to enable personnel to ground themselves using wrist
straps (Figure 1, Static Control Wrist Strap (page -xxiv)) while
handling circuit packs or working on an assembly. The jacks for
connection of wrist straps are located at the upper right-hand corner of
each assembly and are labeled. When grounding jacks are not provided,
an alligator clip adapter enables connection to bay frame ground.

12-inch, 19-inch, and 23-

Inch Bay-frame Installation

As an example of the Metropolis® DMXplore shelf installation, the
following steps describe mounting a single shelf from the front of a 23­inch bay-frame. Mounting from the rear of a 23-inch bay-frame or from
the front/rear of a 12-inch or 19-inch bay-frame is similar with the
exception of the type and mounting position of the brackets.

See Figure 1-8, Wall-Mount Bay-Frame Mounting Brackets (page

1-17)

The 23-inch frame supports two Metropolis® DMXplore shelves. To
mount a second shelf repeat this procedure for the second shelf at the
second mounting position.

Important! This section requires previous bay-frame installation

and grounding.

Procedure

Step 1

Position the Metropolis® DMXplore shelf on a stable work surface.

Important! Front cover is shipped with a clear protective liner

over the outside surface of the viewing window of cover. Peel and
remove. See Figure 1-2, Metropolis® DMXplore Shelf Wall-Mount
(with Cover) (page 1-10).

...........................................................................................................................................................................

Step 2 Determine the mounting configuration for the Metropolis

®

DMXplore

shelf:

• type of bay-frame (23-inch, 19-inch or 12-inch wide)

• mounting position (front, rear)

• shelf position for 23-inch frame (right, left)

• position in bay (bottom to top)

Important! The mounting brackets must be ordered separately

and are required to install the Metropolis® DMXplore in a
bayframe. See Tools, Test Equipment and Accessories (1-3)

Important! If mounting two Metropolis

®

DMXplore shelves in a

23" rack application cable access is moderately restricted.

Important! A front mounting position results in a 5" protrusion

from the front of bay-frame.

Step 3 Remove bay-frame mounting bracket from box, and assemble as

indicated in Figure 1-6, Exploded Bay-Frame (23" Mounting Bracket)
(page 1-14).

Figure 1-6 Exploded Bay-Frame (23" Mounting Bracket)

Important!

Tie-downs are to be positioned to the right of the

shelf.

...........................................................................................................................................................................

Step 4 Determine the position that the bay-frame mounting bracket will be

mounted. As a general rule, start at the bottom of the bay and add
shelves from bottom to top.

Important! If the Metropolis

®

DMXplore shelf is to be installed
above or below existing equipment that does not have a heat baffle,
then a heat baffle (C848862181) must be installed between the shelf
and the existing equipment.

Important! If there is space left in the bayframe above the last

Metropolis® DMXplore bracket assembly installed, a heat baffle

must be installed above the shelf to prevent accidental damage to
the power cables at the top of the shelf.

...........................................................................................................................................................................

Step 5 Position the bay-frame mounting bracket in the frame and secure to the

frame using 3 thread-forming screws side (not included). Tighten the
screws to 21 in.-lb. (minimum)/30 in.-lb. (maximum)

Important! Grounding wire must be of the same gauge as the

cables used to power the shelf.

Important! Be sure to mount the shelf using thread-forming

screws to ensure a solid ground connection from the bay to the
shelf.

Important! For bays that use powder coat paint e.g. most 19"

bays, studies on that type of paint indicate that the material is not
always removed cleanly using the thread forming screws and can
create a poor ground, thus we recommend a secondary ground be
used. The secondary ground would consist of a 12 AWG wire from
the UL (Green M5 Screw) safety ground to the bayframe (where the
bayframe has been scraped clean of paint and treated with no-ox)

Power Cable Installation

Description This section provides instructions on installing the power cabling for

the Metropolis® DMXplore shelf.
Each power feeder (A and B) requires a single power feed from; the

AC/DC power converter (408812394), the battery distribution fuse
board (BDFB), or the battery distribution circuit breaker bay (BDCBB)
to the Metropolis® DMXplore shelf.

If the Metropolis® DMXplore is powered through only one power feed,
the system will report a minor alarm. To suppress the alarm, use two
jumpers between the 48VA and 48 VB attachment positions (A- to B­and A+ to B+). The gauge of both jumpers should be the same as the
gauge being brought in from either the Battery Plant or from the
MASCOT AC/DC Supply (#12AWG to #20AWG).

Table 1-2, Power Cable Assemblies and Table 1-3, Power Connections
(page 1-18) lists the available power cable assemblies and power

connections, respectively.

DS1 Cable Installation

Description This section describes how to connect the DS1 transmission cables to

the A/D function group of the shelf. If applicable, route the cables out
of the bay and connect the cables to the DSX panel.

Important! When cabling the Metropolis

®

DMXplore to a DSX,
the DSX becomes an extension of the Metropolis® DMXplore
access panel connections. Thus the IN on the Metropolis

®

DMXplore access panel connects to the IN of the DSX and the
OUT of the Metropolis® DMXplore access panel connects to the
OUT of the DSX respectively.

The cables are connectorized at the Metropolis® DMXplore end and
may be needed to be wire-wrapped at the DSX end if equipped with a
blunt connection end. The A function group supports a maximum of 16
DS1 drop capacity.

Important! The A/D function group is a dual purpose slot. In the

current release the A/D slot is identified as the A function group.
Future releases will add new functionality and refer to the A/D slot
as the D function group.

Office Alarm Cable Installation

Description Office alarms are the common method used in a central office for

maintenance personnel to quickly isolate a failure. Perform this
procedure if connection to the office alarm system is required.

Important! The office alarm relay contacts are rated at 50 VA

which means that they are capable of switching 1 amp at 50 volts,
or 2 amps at 25 volts. Their ability to switch lar ge tran sient currents
means that they can, if necessary, switch up to ten 5-watt aisle pilot
lamps.

If transient voltages or currents are above these limits, transient
noise-suppressing devices such as diodes or contact protection
networks must be used to keep within the voltage and current limits. If
these protection devices are not sufficient, an external buffer relay
MUST be provided.

In all cases, and as a matter of good practice, suppression devices such
as diodes or contact protection networks must be provided across any
external relay coil being driven by the Metropolis® DMXplore to limit
transient voltages and currents.

Office alarm cable assemblies are listed in Table 1-9, Office Alarm

Cable Assemblies (page 1-33) and Office alarm connection are listed in
Table 1-10, Office Alarm Connections (page 1-34).

OC-3/OC12 Main Optical Fiber Cable Installation

Description This section describes how to route the optical fiber cables from the

interconnecting equipment (for example, a LGX® optical fiber
distributing frame) to the Main OLIUs of the Metropolis® DMXplore.
This procedure does not cover routing the optical fiber cable between
sites.

The optical fiber cables are connected to the Metropolis® DMXplore
after the circuit packs are installed. The Metropolis® DMXplore
requires single-mode fiber for the main OLIUs. See ED8C947-10

Common Systems, Metropolis® DMXplore Access Multiplexer,
Engineering and Ordering Information for recommended fibers.

Important! The optical fiber cable is fragile and must be

protected. The fibers should be placed in a protective tube or
channel, such as PVC tubing, or PANDUIT cable channel, when
running the cable from the Metropolis® DMXplore to the cable
rack. The fibers should be placed in the cable rack in a protective
channel with nothing on top of them. Cable ties should NOT be
used with the optical fiber cables.

WARNING

Unterminated optical connectors may emit laser radiation. Do
not view an unterminated optical connector with optical
instruments. A void direct exposure o f the eyes to the beam.

Important! Prior to connecting the optical fiber cables, the fibers

should be examined to ensure that they are clean. See Appendix B,
Fiber Cleaning for recommended cleaning procedures.

SYSCTL LAN Cable Installation

Description This section describes how to connect the IAO LAN/TCP-IP (LAN

10BASE-T) cable to the Metropolis® DMXplore shelf and to the
interfacing equipment. Perform this procedure if this cabling is
required.

Metropolis® DMXplore supports an IntraOffice LAN (IAO LAN)
interface for operations data communications to support operations
systems such as the Navis Optical EMS (formerly WaveStar SNMS).

Since the IAO LAN can be provisioned as an extension of the SONET
DCC, the IAO LAN can also be used to join multiple, otherwise
separate subnetworks.

All NE-to-NE OI features that are supported over the DCC are also
supported over the IAO LAN.

The IAO LAN/TCP-IP interface cable is available in two
configurations (cross-over and straight-through) and is connected to the
front of the Metropolis® DMXplore shelf. The following tables provide
additional information:

• Table 1-16, LAN 10BASE-T Cable Assemblies (page 1-45)

• Table 1-17, LAN 10BASE-T Cross-over Cable Connections (page
