Version 7.0 9 Mediant 3000
Hardware Installation Manual 1. Introduction
1 Introduction
This document provides a hardware description of the Mediant 3000 (hereafter referred to
as device) as well as step-by-step instructions on how to cable it.
The telephony interface support on the Mediant 3000 depends on the installed blade:

Configurations hosting TP-6310 blade:
•Mediant 3000 hosting a single TP-6310 blade, providing 1+1 SONET/SDH or 3 x
T3 PSTN interfaces.
•Mediant 3000 hosting two TP-6310 blades for 1+1 High Availability (HA),
providing 1+1 SONET / SDH or 3 x T3 PSTN interfaces.
•Depopulated TP-6310 with single DS3 configuration including eight DSPs. This is
offered on the following models:
♦M3K1/DC (AC)
♦M3K3/DC (AC)
♦M3K40/ESBC/AC (DC)
♦M3K42/ESBC/AC (DC)

Configurations hosting TP-8410 blade:
•Mediant 3000 hosting a single TP-8410 blade, providing 16 E1 / 21 T1 PSTN
interfaces.
•Mediant 3000 hosting a single TP-8410 blade, providing up to 63 E1 / 84 T1
PSTN interfaces.
•Mediant 3000 hosting two TP-8410 blades for 1+1 HA, providing up to 16 E1 / 21
T1 PSTN interfaces.
•Mediant 3000 hosting two TP-8410 blades for 1+1 HA, providing up to 63 E1 / 84
T1 PSTN interfaces.
Notes:
•The Mediant 3000 can be deployed either as a standalone IP-to-IP media gateway, a
standalone PSTN-IP media gateway, or a combined PSTN-IP/IP-to-IP media
gateway. This support depends on the Software Upgrade Key installed on the device.
•For configuring the device, refer to the User's Manual.

Version 7.0 13 Mediant 3000
Hardware Installation Manual 3. Physical Description
3 Physical Description
This section provides a physical description of the device.
3.1 Hardware Components
The device includes the following components:

A 19-inch, 2U high rack-mount chassis (see Section 3.2 on page 15).

TP-6310 blades: regarded as a complete gateway/media server module, supporting all
necessary functions for voice, data, and fax streaming over IP networks (see Section
3.3 on page 23). The blade is supplied with a rear input/output (I/O) module referred to
as the Rear Transition Module (RTM). RTM-6310 provides the port connections to the
supported interfaces:
•Two Gigabit Ethernet
•PSTN Interfaces:
♦Up to three T3 interfaces, offering scalability by allowing you to start with a
single T3 interface and to later add another one or two T3 interfaces as
capacity requirements grow
♦1+1 STM-1/OC-3

TP-8410 blades: regarded as a complete gateway module, supporting all necessary
functions for voice, data, and fax streaming over IP networks (see Section 3.4 on page
28). The RTM-8410 provides the port connections to the supported interfaces:
•Two Gigabit Ethernet
•Up to 63 E1 / 84 T1

Alarm, Status and Synchronization blade (SA/M3K): provides clock synchronization
(see Section 3.5 on page 33)

Cooling system (see Section 3.6 on page 35):
•Fan Tray module (FM/M3K)
•Air Filter (AF/3K) located within the Fan Tray module

System alarm LEDs and ACO button (see Section 3.7 on page 37)

Power system, available in one of the following power types:
•Alternating Current (see Section 3.8.1 on page 41):
♦Two AC Power Supply modules (PS/AC/3K) for load sharing
♦Two AC Power Entry modules (PEM/AC/3K)
•Direct Current (see Section 3.8.2 on page 42):
♦Two DC Power Supply modules (PS/DC/3K) for load sharing
♦Two DC Power Entry modules (PEM/DC/3K)
Notes:
•The device operates in either Simplex mode or High Availability (HA) mode. The
difference is that HA provides 1+1 redundancy for the voice functionality.
•The blades and modules are supplied pre-installed in the device's chassis. For
replacing these components, see Section 6 on page 75.
•For blade chassis slot assignment, see Section 3.2.2 on page 16.

3.2 Chassis
The device's modular chassis design allows easy installment and replacement of blades,
RTMs, and modules. The chassis provides four front- and rear-panel blade slots and
includes an ID Prom component that clearly defines the hardware version. The chassis also
includes a DIP switch for configuring the shelf geographical addressing.
3.2.1 Dimensions and Operating Environment
The device's chassis is a compact, rugged 19-inch rack mount unit, 2U high, designed to
meet NEBS Level 3 requirements.
Table 3-3: Dimensions and Operating Environment Specifications
Specification Value
Dimensions
Width 48.3 cm (19 inches)
Height 2U or 8.9 cm (3.5 inches)
Depth 29.68 cm (11.69 inches)
Weight (fully loaded) 13 kg (29 lb)
Weight (fully loaded in packaging) 16 kg (35.5 lb) approx.
Operating Environment
Operating Temperature 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F)
Storage -40 to 70°C (-40 to 158°F)
Relative Humidity 10 to 90% non-condensing
3.2.2 Blade Cage and Slot Assignment
The device features a four-slot chassis:

Four front-panel slots for housing the blades

Four rear-panel slots for housing the RTMs
The blades in the front-panel slots interface through a midplane (located in the middle of
the chassis) with the RTMs in the rear-panel slots. The midplane contains slot keys which
match the appropriate blade or RTM. This prevents insertion of a blade or RTM in an
incorrect slot.
A diagram indicating the number of the slots and Power Supply unit is located on the Fan
Tray panel (see Section 3.6 on page 35).
Notes:
•While the slot keys on the midplane are designed to prevent the insertion of a blade in
an incorrect location, ensure that you don’t force a blade or RTM into a slot;
otherwise, you may damage the blade/RTM or midplane.
•All unoccupied slots must be covered with protective blank panels (see Section 6.2 on
page 76).
