1677 SONET Link Installation Overview
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The 1677 SONET Link is a member of Alcatel's family of Synchronous
Optical Network (SONET) products. This manual provides installation
procedures for the 1677 SONET Link and its ancillary equipment. Here,
installation means to physically mount and secure the frame, chassis, and
ancillary items, as well as make all necessary power, ground, and office wiring
connections.
About This Manual
1.2 The 1677 SONET Link can be installed in a variety of configurations,
and installation may require various Alcatel-sourced ancillary equipment to
address site-specific requirements. For these reasons, this manual provides
information on installing individual pieces of equipment and installing frame
assemblies. Each step-by-step chart in this manual describes a different
installation procedure and, depending on customer selections, more than one
chart may be needed to complete the installation.
1.3 This manual provides step-by-step charts to help users perform tasks.
Each chart describes practices such as unpacking and inspection, facility
preparation, installing frame bus cabling, and actual equipment wiring. The
charts contain important introductory information that is essential to
understanding and completing the task properly. Procedures must be started
at step 1, and steps must be performed in the order given. Failure to do so may
cause unforeseen hazardous conditions.
Admonishments
1.4 To avoid hazardous conditions, observe the following admonishments:

Installing Equipment
1.5 If the installation project matches a specific document, follow its
directions (including all cross-references).
Method of Procedure (Optional, But Recommended)
1.6 The person responsible for the installation, in cooperation with the
telco engineer and Central Office (CO) supervisor, should collect all essential
information to prepare the Method of Procedure (MOP). After the MOP is
prepared, it is submitted to CO management for approval. Work performed on
common equipment may require that activities be accomplished during
nonstandard working hours. This should be a joint decision between the CO
management, telco engineer, and installation personnel.
1.7 As a minimum, the following items should be addressed, mutually
understood, and agreed upon in establishing a MOP. This should be done
before the start of installation:
•Identify potential service-affecting hazards and risks imposed.
•Define installation methods, tools, and test sets to be used.
•Assign experienced personnel to the job.
•Identify protection/safety requirements of the equipment and tools.
•Determine the time during which the various steps of the work will be
performed and the equipment affected.
•Identify steps of the work that require prior notification of the CO
personnel or the telco engineer.
•Define procedures to follow and tests to make before additional or
modified equipment is connected to any working equipment.
•Develop steps the installer must take to disconnect any alarms
associated with the work.
•Define procedures to follow to ensure that the fuse designation and
fuse records are checked with the proper drawing before any fuse is
removed.
•Identify the time of day or night the removed equipment is to be
restored.

restored to service on time in case of unforeseen delays.
•Define steps of the work that require the presence of CO personnel.
•Identify tests applicable to wiring operations.
•Specify the space requirements (for example, storage and
administrative).
•When applicable, the MOP should include a restoration plan. This
restoration plan is a joint effort among CO personnel, installation
personnel, and the telco engineer.
1.8 The recommended sequence of events consists of the following steps:
•Install the frame, if applicable.
•Install the Power Distribution Unit, Quad Input (PDU-Quad), if
applicable.
•Install the 1677 SONET Link chassis.
1.9 In addition to suggested MOP content, the following items should be
mutually understood and agreed upon relative to using the MOP. This should
be done before the start of installation:
•All work is done during the hours specified in the MOP.
•The MOP is approved by the telco engineer and the CO personnel
before the installation start.
•After the MOP is adopted and approved, any deviation from the
procedure must be approved by the telco engineer and the CO
personnel.
•An approved copy of the MOP is available and posted for review at the
job site at all times.

2. SAFETY AWARENESS
Fan, Equipment Rack, and Equipment Cabinet Precautions
2.1 When installing the equipment observe the following:
DANGER Possibility of personal injury. Keep fingers away from the rotating fan blades.
Pull the fan-tray by the thumbscrews only and wait for the fan blades to stop
spinning before attempting to remove the fan-tray completely from the
chassis.
DANGER Possibility of personal injury. The Alcatel 1677 SONET Link requires at least
three people to support, align, and attach it to an equipment rack. To prevent
equipment damage or personal injury, make sure help is available.
DANGER Possibility of personal injury. To prevent personal injury and equipment
damage due to unbalanced loading of the equipment rack or cabinet, make
sure the equipment rack or cabinet is properly secured to the floor, ceiling,
or other rigid structure before mounting the Alcatel 1677 SONET Link in it.
For approved methods of securing the equipment rack, read the equipment-
rack installation instructions or contact the equipment-rack manufacturer.
Electrical Precautions
2.2 Take appropriate safety precautions when performing procedures on
electrical equipment. Hazardous electrical potentials are present when system
power is on.
2.3 Some procedures in this manual require working with small
conductive objects, such as screwdrivers, fuses, washers, screws, and nuts.
When working on a chassis at the top of an equipment rack, a dropped object
that falls into a lower chassis can cause physical damage and electrical short
circuits. To prevent this, place a piece of paper or other cover over the lower
chassis to catch fallen objects. Remove the paper or other cover when work is
complete.
DANGER Possibility of personal injury. Install the Alcatel 1677 SONET Link in a
restricted-access area only. Entrance to a restricted-access area is intended
for qualified or trained personnel and access to it is controlled by a locked
barrier.
DANGER Possibility of personal injury. The chassis does not contain main overcurrent
protection devices. The user must provide circuit breakers or fuses and

1677 SONET Link Installation Overview
1-8
disconnects between the power source and the Alcatel 1677 SONET Link.
Each power feed from a source (-48 V dc and Return) requires a 25-amp dc-
rated fast-trip circuit breaker or fuse and disconnect. Circuit breakers or
fuses must meet applicable local and national electrical safety codes and be
approved for the intended application.
DANGER Possibility of personal injury. Make sure to connect the node to a -48 V dc
source that is electrically isolated from the ac source and is reliably
connected to earth ground.
DANGER Possibility of personal injury. For personal safety, make sure to connect and
secure the installation site’s frame-ground (earth ground) wire to the frame-
ground terminal on the 1677 SONET Link before connecting any other wires
to the node.
DANGER Possibility of personal injury. A dc-power source provides high energy,
which can cause serious injury or equipment damage. Only Alcatel qualified
personnel should connect the dc power to the Alcatel 1677 SONET Link. To
prevent serious injury or equipment damage, make sure the power source
cables are de-energized before handling or connecting them to the node.
Laser Precautions
2.4 Verify that laser labels on equipment state that the system conforms
to all applicable standards of 21 CFR 1040.10. See figure 2-1 and 2-2. If there
are no danger labels, call the Alcatel Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
2.5 The invisible infrared radiation emitted by the fiber-optic transmitter
can cause eye damage. Observe local office procedures and the following
dangers:
DANGER Possibility of personal injury. The use of controls and/or adjustments, or the
performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous infrared radiation exposure.
DANGER Possibility of personal injury. Laser infrared radiation is not in the visible
spectrum; therefore, it is not visible to the naked eye or with laser safety
glasses. Although it cannot be seen, laser radiation may be present.
DANGER Possibility of personal injury. Never look directly into an unterminated
fiber-optic connector unless it is absolutely known that no optical power is
being emitted by the connector.
