Introducing the Calix E5-400
The Calix E5-400 Ethernet transport and aggregation platform is an environmentally
hardened, small form factor (SFF) product that aggregates IP/Ethernet-based services onto
1x Gigabit-Ethernet (1GE) or 10GE network links.
Equipped with (4) 10GE and (12) GE Ethernet ports, each E5-400 unit can aggregate up to
64 Gbps of traffic and can be deployed in co-located pairs for path and service redundancy.
The Calix E5-400 front panel
The E5-400 front panel is equipped with the following Ethernet line interfaces:
(12) GE Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports (SFP1 to SFP12)
(2) 10GE SFP+ ports (SFP+1 and SFP+2)
(2) 10GE XFP ports (XFP1 and XFP2)
Each port (copper or optical) includes a single LED to indicate an established link and data
traffic activity.
Fan tray assembly
The E5-400 unit is equipped with a fan tray assembly that slides into the front of the chassis.
The fan tray consists of the following controls and indicators:
10/100 Fast Ethernet management port with LNK and ACT LEDs
LEDs displaying Critical, Major, and Minor alarm conditions
Alarm Cut-Off button (ACO) for disabling the alarm signal wired out to an external
audible alarm (buzzer or horn).

Installation Guidelines
Review the following guidelines before starting installation activities.
General Guidelines
Follow these general guidelines and practices:
Read this document completely before starting any installation activities.

The E5-400 installation kit includes power and grounding cables that are 12-feet in
length. If you cannot locate the E5-400 unit and the power/ground source within this
distance, you must supply your own cables.
Follow standard safety precautions when performing installation and maintenance tasks.
Always wear standard safety gear when performing installation and maintenance tasks
(hardhats/safety headgear, reflective vest, eye protection, insulated gloves).
For safety, keep bystanders and other unauthorized personnel away from work
operations at all times.
If the E5-400 is to be installed in an outdoor cabinet, do not perform installation
activities during thunderstorms or when the threat of lightning is present.

General Safety Recommendations
WARNING! The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is
suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only.
The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be
metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the Outside Plant (OSP)
or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building
interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE,
Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition
of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these
interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
WARNING! This product is intended to be protected by a surge protector
that meets the applicable criteria of GR-974-CORE or GR-1361-CORE.
Failure to utilize this appropriate surge protector could result in susceptibility
to lightning surges or create a potential hazard due to power faults.
WARNING! Only trained, qualified technical personnel should perform the
procedures described in this document. These procedures involve
potentially hazardous activities that could cause injury to untrained
personnel.
DANGER! Risk of high power current surge and electric shock. Read and
understand all power procedures before performing tasks. Take necessary
precautions and use appropriate insulated tools when working with power.
This equipment must be installed, operated, and serviced by qualified
technical personnel only.
DANGER! CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT. INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION
PRESENT. Fiber optic radiation can cause severe eye damage or
blindness. Do not look into the open end of an optical fiber.
ESD ALERT! Beware of electrostatic discharge. Follow standard ESD
precautions. Always wear a grounded ESD wristband to avoid damaging the
electronic equipment.

Installing the E5-400 Chassis
Determining the Installation Location
The Calix E5-400 unit is designed as a rack mountable unit.
For rack mounted systems, keep the following in mind:
The E5-400 fan tray is located on the right side of the unit. Adequate airflow on the right
and left (exhaust) sides of the E5-400 is required to properly cool the unit.
SFP, XFP, and SFP+ connectors that are attached to the front of the E5-400 unit must
be secured with strain relief and routed to avoid exceeding the manufacturer's bend
radius standards.
Power, alarm, and ground wiring entering the rear of the E5-400 must be properly
secured with strain relief.
Locate the E5-400 near power and ground connection points.
Note: The power cord and ground cable provided with the E5-400 are 12 feet long.
