CLASS I LASER CAUTIONS
The optical transmission system on some optical transmitter models is a Class I laser product. When the optical
transmission system is installed in accordance with the procedures of this manual, the laser radiation is
restricted to the optical cable, thus preventing human access. User modication to the system may alter the
product classication and create a radiation hazard.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, stare directly into a ber optic connector or use instruments to
inspect ber ends unless they have been conrmed to be unenergized. Although the light used in most ber
optic transmissions is not visible to the naked eye, potentially harmful levels of optical laser radiation may be
present at the optical output ports and unconnected receive ber ends. Prior to applying system power,
connect ber cables to either another InnityLink unit or to an optical power meter.
ESD CAUTIONS
The InnityLink media transport platform contains components that can be damaged by electrical static
discharge. Ensure that you connect an approved anti-static wrist strap to your wrist and then to an electrical
ground that is reliably connected to electrical ground before installing or removing the InnityLink media
transport platform and sub-assemblies.
CAUTION
This manual is intended for use by trained service personnel. The use of controls, adjustments, or performance
of procedures other than those specied herein may result in hazardous exposure to optical radiation.

ILM121 Assembly Overview
The IL6000 chassis includes the integrated ILM121 assembly, which includes management ports for accessing
IL Manager, two AC power supplies, and a ventilation fan. The chassis can function using a single power supply
or you can use both power supplies for increased system availability. The power supplies provide limited load
sharing when both power connectors are used (see the“Cabling the IL6000 Power Supplies”section on page
12).
The fan provides ventilation for the chassis components and installed function modules (see the“Ventilating
the IL6000 Chassis”section on page 7).
The ILM121 assembly includes voltage, temperature, and cooling fan alarms.

Ventilating the IL6000 Chassis
Unpacking the IL6000
When unpacking the your IL6000, set aside the packing material in case you need to repackage the unit later.
To unpack the IL6000, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the IL6000 chassis and function modules from the shipping cartons.
2. Check the conguration of the unit against the items listed on the packing slip. If you nd any
discrepancies, report them in accordance with the instruction in“About This Manual”.
Ventilating the IL6000 Chassis
It is important that your IL6000 operates within the specied temperature range as described in the IL6000
data sheet. A single fan provides ventilation for the IL6000 chassis by drawing air in through the ventilation
slots located on the side of the chassis near the function module slots. Figure 4 shows how the fan draws air
through the side of the chassis and over the function modules when power is applied.The IL6000 uses a
variable speed fan to provide quiet operation at normal temperatures. The internal temperature is constantly
monitored and the fan speed automatically increases should the temperature increase.
Figure 4. IL6000 Air Flow
To ensure proper ventilation of the chassis and the installed modules, you must adhere to the following
requirements when installing and operating your IL6000:
• Maintain at least a 2inch (5cm) clearance around the sides and rear of the chassis where the fan and
ventilation slots are located. Keep these areas clear of any obstructions that might restrict air ow in
or out of the chassis.
• Install the module blank trays in any unused module slots.
• Visually inspect the ventilation fan for proper operation when the power is applied.
