Chapter 1
Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the BIP and covers the following topics:

• Physical description

• “Accessing the alarm module” on page 30

• “Configuration example” on page 32

Physical description

The BIP provides a central rack location where redundant input DC power feeds
are connected and routed to one or two 8010co chassis. The BIP also provides an
alarm module and display panel that monitors system components, generates
alarms, and controls LED status indicators (requires 8010co chassis configured
with an 8691SF or 8691omSF CPU Module). The alarm module provides total
system status to the central office.

Shelf circuit breakers (upper and lower shelves)

Two groups of three circuit breakers provide input power to the power supplies for
the upper and lower shelf 8010co chassis (Figure 3 on page 21):

• The first group, labeled “Upper Shelf,” provides input power to the upper
shelf power supplies.

• The second group, labeled “Lower Shelf,” provides input power to the lower
shelf power supplies.

312755-G Rev 00

If a power supply over current condition occurs, the associated circuit breaker
trips and indicates the fault by lighting the associated circuit breaker’s LED (red).

Each of the six circuit breakers is current limited to 30 amperes @80 volts direct
current. The circuit breakers are designed with internal auxiliary switches to
provide fault indications to the alarm module and to the associated circuit breaker
LEDs on the front panel. The alarm module reports circuit breaker fault conditions
by lighting the MAJOR indicator on the Alarm Module display panel.

No alarm is generated to the alarm module when the circuit breaker is manually
switched on (|) or off (O).

Accessing the alarm module

Danger: Ensure that the DC power source is off or disconnected at the

remote end before you perform any of the steps in this section. Be sure
that the DC input source power is locked out and tagged.

The alarm module contains jumpers that you can configure to allow the BIP to
monitor the shelf alarm cables for a single or dual chassis installation. The BIP
ships from the factory with default jumper configurations set for a single chassis
in the lower shelf of the rack. If you install a second chassis in the upper shelf, you
must configure the jumpers on the alarm module to support that configuration.

Note: The jumper configuration has no affect on the chassis status
alarms.

The BIP front panel opens to provide access to the jumpers on the alarm module.

To open the front panel:

Connecting cables to the chassis power supplies

This section describes how to connect the BIP power cables to the 8010co chassis
8004DC power supplies. These procedures assume that all required power
supplies were previously installed during the 8010co chassis installation.

Note: This guide does not describe how to remove or replace power
supplies in the 8010co chassis. For detailed instructions about adding
power supplies or modifying an existing configuration, see the
appropriate product chassis installation manual.

Before beginning the procedures in this section, note the following:

• A 8010co chassis configuration can consist of one or two chassis in a single
rack. If a single chassis is installed, it is always installed in the lower shelf
position.

Note: For a single chassis installation, always install the chassis in the
lower shelf position to stabilize the rack.

312755-G Rev 00

• Each chassis can be configured with up to three power supplies. The cabling
for each power supply comprises three conductors: the positive lead wire, the
negative lead wire, and the ground lead.

• To access the power supplies, you may have to remove the bottom front bezel
from both the upper shelf and lower shelf 8010co chassis.

Warning: Ensure that the DC power source is off or disconnected at the
remote end before you perform any of the steps in this section. You may
need to switch a circuit breaker off or turn off power at the DC input
source. Be sure that the DC input source power is locked out and tagged.

Note: The 321325-A bezel does not need to be removed to access the
power supplies.

13 Perform steps 3 through 12 for each power supply in the system configuration,

including the upper shelf chassis, if installed.

Use the shorter, 90-inch power cables for upper shelf power supplies.

14 After all power supplies are cabled, go to the next section,“Routing power

supply cables to the BIP” on page 47.

Routing power supply cables to the BIP

After you connect all cables to the chassis power supplies, you must route the
power supply cable leads from each chassis to the BIP. If you installed an upper
and lower shelf chassis, and each chassis has three power supplies, you have 18
separate cables to route to the BIP. For this reason, Nortel recommends that you
label the cables and loosely bundle and fasten them with tie-wraps along the path.

To route the cables to the BIP:

1 Label the unconnected ends of the cable leads for each power supply

according to their destination on the BIP (Figure 30).

Figure 30 shows an example of one set of power supply cables for a power

supply that is located in bay 1 of the upper shelf chassis. The cables were
preassembled with the appropriate crimp lugs.

Be sure to label the cable leads appropriately for the power supplies in both
the upper and lower shelves.

Connecting DC input power feeds to the BIP

Danger: Due to high-energy hazards, only qualified service personnel

are permitted to connect the BIP to the DC power source.

Warning: Ensure that the DC power source is off or disconnected on the
remote end before you perform any of the steps in this section. You may
need to switch a circuit breaker off or turn off power at the DC input
source.

Nortel does not supply the cables for connecting the breaker interface panel to the
DC input power source. You must select cables that comply with the electrical
code of the country where you intend to use the DC-DC power supply.

Caution: As the installer, you have the sole responsibility for ensuring
that the connection cable used with the breaker interface panel is
appropriate for use with the DC power source to which the power supply
is connected. Consider gauge, flammability, and mechanical
serviceability when determining which cables to use.

312755-G Rev 00

You can connect up to two “A” feeds and two “B” feeds to your 8010co chassis
configuration for redundancy. Each chassis can require up to 60 A service for
maximum operating power.

As shown in Figure 35 on page 53, the primary B feed (B

After successfully installing the shelf alarm cables, go to the next section

“Verifying the installation.”

Verifying the installation

This section describes how to verify the BIP hardware installation. It includes the
following topics:

• “Initial power-up,” next

• “Verifying the LEDs” on page 63

• “Powering off the system” on page 64

312755-G Rev 00

Before powering up the system to verify the installation, be sure that:

• All cables are installed and properly secured.

• All safety covers, filler panels, and bezels are installed and secure.

• All tools and installation materials are removed.

• You notify others working in the area that the system power is about to be
turned on.

Initial power-up

Danger: Due to high-energy hazards, only qualified service personnel

are permitted to connect the BIP to the DC power source.

To power up the 8010co chassis:

1 Set the six circuit breakers on the BIP front panel to the off position (O = Off).

2 Set the switches for all power supplies in the upper and lower chassis to the

off position (O = Off).

You can access the power supply switches with the bezels installed.

3 Turn on the input feed power at the DC power source.

Verifying the LEDs

1 Verify the following LEDs on the BIP:

— The (white) POWER Indicator on the BIP front panel is on.

— The (green) shelf alarm cable validation LED is on steady.

Chapter 2 Installation 63

The green shelf alarm cable validation LED indicates that the shelf alarm
cables are installed properly.

(If there is a problem with the shelf alarm cable installation or jumper
settings, the red shelf alarm cable fault LED turns on.)

2 Set the six circuit breakers on the BIP front panel to the on position (| = On).

3 Set the switches for all power supplies in the upper and lower chassis to the on

position (| = On).

Note: When you first install a 8010co chassis that contains two or three
power supplies, you must turn on two of the power supply units
simultaneously. If you wait longer to turn on the second power supply,
one of the power supplies can shut down. To correct this condition, turn
off both power supplies, wait at least 30 seconds, and then turn on both
power supplies again simultaneously.

Installing the Breaker Interface Panel for the Ethernet Routing Switch 8010co Chassis

64 Chapter 2 Installation

4 Verify the following LEDs on the 8010co chassis:

— The (green) power supply LEDs for each power supply in both the upper

and lower chassis are on.

(If any of the power supply LEDs are not on, replace the power supply.)

— The chassis fans are powering up.

If any of the previous steps indicate a problem with the installation, do the
following:

1 Set the switches for all power supplies in the upper and lower chassis to the

off position (O = Off).

2 Set the six circuit breakers on the BIP front panel to the off position (O = Off).

3 Check that all cables are installed properly, and that all power supplies are

firmly seated in their bays.

4 Set the six circuit breakers on the BIP front panel to the on position (| = On).

5 Set the switches for all power supplies in the upper and lower chassis to the on

position (| = On).

Powering off the system

312755-G Rev 00

6 Proceed to “Verifying the LEDs” on page 63.

If the problem persists, go to Chapter 3, “Problem solving,” on page 67.

To power off the system:

1 Set the switches for all power supplies in the upper and lower chassis to the

off position (O = Off).

You can access the power supply switches with the bezels installed.

2 Set the six circuit breakers on the BIP front panel to the off position (O = Off).

3 Turn off the input feed power at the DC power source.

Warning: Ensure the DC power source is off or disconnected. You may

need to switch a circuit breaker off or turn off power at the DC input
source. Be sure that the DC input source power is locked out and tagged.

Chapter 2 Installation 65

Note: When you power off the 8010co chassis, wait at least 30 seconds

before turning the power supplies back on.

4 Continue with the installation of the 8010co chassis as described in the

appropriate product chassis installation manual.

Problem solving

This chapter describes how to isolate and diagnose problems with your breaker
interface panel and associated 8010co chassis.

This chapter covers the following topics:

• “Interpreting the LEDs” (next)

• “Diagnosing and correcting the problem” on page 70

• “Corrective actions” on page 71

The topics lead you through a logical process for troubleshooting the BIP and the
associated 8010co chassis components. The BIP LEDs provide visual indications
of problems that can occur with the 8010co chassis and installed components, as
well as system status during normal operations.

To become familiar with the various states that the LEDs can exhibit during
normal operation, go to the next section, “Interpreting the LEDs” on page 68.

For help in determining a problem, go to “Diagnosing and correcting the problem”

on page 70. That section describes symptoms and corrective actions you can

perform to resolve specific problems.

If the corrective actions determine that a chassis component needs replacing, see
the appropriate product chassis installation manual for replacement and removal
procedures.

If you still have problems with your system after completing the instructions in
this chapter, contact the Nortel Technical Solutions Center.

Diagnosing and correcting the problem

Before you perform the problem-solving steps in this section, complete the
following steps:

1 Set the switches for all power supplies in the upper and lower chassis to the

off position (O = Off).

2 Set the six circuit breakers on the BIP front panel to the off position (O = Off).

3 Check that all cables are installed properly, and that all power supplies are

firmly seated in their bays.

4 Set the six circuit breakers on the BIP front panel to the on position (| = On).

5 Set the switches for all power supplies in the upper and lower chassis to the on

position (| = On).

6 Verify the following LEDs on the BIP:

— The (white) POWER Indicator on the BIP front-panel is on.

— The (green) shelf alarm cable validation LED is on steady.

7 Verify the following LEDs on the 8010co chassis:

312755-G Rev 00

— The (green) power supply LEDs for each power supply in both the upper

and lower chassis are on.

— The chassis fans are powering up.
