Note To ensure that your hardware is supported by your release of Cisco IOS software,
see the “New and Changed Information” section on page xii. Also refer to the
“Hardware Supported” section of the latest release notes for the
Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx.
Warning During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the
card. Do not directly touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or
you could shock yourself.
Before Installing
Before you install the chassis, you must complete the following tasks:
•Unpack and inspect the chassis.
•Maintain a network record.
•Mount the chassis.
Caution Use extreme care when removing or installing connectors so you do not damage
the connector housing or scratch the end-face surface of the fiber. Always install
protective covers or dust covers on unused or disconnected components to prevent
contamination. Always clean fiber connectors before installing them.
Unpacking and Inspecting the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx
The Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx ships with 19-inch mounting brackets. The chassis
is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage has occurred during
transportation or if any item is missing, notify your Cisco customer service
representative immediately.
Upon receipt, inspect the equipment as follows:
Step 1 Take inventory.

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx Rack-Mounting the Chassis
Compare the equipment inside with the packing slip and the equipment list
provided by customer service. If there are any discrepancies, notify the Customer
Service Center.
Step 2 Check for external damage.
Visually check all components and immediately report any shipping damage to
your customer service representative. Have the following information ready:
•Invoice number of shipper (see packing slip)
•Model and serial number of the damaged unit
•Description of damage
•Effect of damage on the installation
Keep a record of all of your hardware, configuration options, and network
settings.
Mounting the Chassis
The unit is designed for mounting in a rack. Use star-type lock washers on the
rack screws to ensure a good conductive connection between the chassis and the
rack. For information about installing the units in a customer cabinet, see the
instructions from the cabinet manufacturer.
Rack-Mounting the Chassis
You can install the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx chassis in a standard 19-inch rack, a
21-inch rack, or a 23-inch rack. Table 2-1 lists the correct L bracket part number
required for each installation.

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx Rack-Mounting the Chassis
To rack-mount the chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 Place the L brackets on the sides of the chassis.
Step 2 Secure the L brackets to the chassis using the number 12-24 screws provided in
the rack-mount kit. (See Figure 2-1.) Use seven screws on each L bracket on the
sides of the chassis. Start with the first screw at the top of the chassis and use a
screw every 2 RU to equally space the screws out and safely secure the chassis in
the rack.

Installing the Chassis
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or
service this equipment.
To install the chassis in the rack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Grasp the bottom edge of the chassis with one hand near the front and the other
on the handles. With one person at each side of the chassis, use the handles on the
chassis to slowly lift the chassis in unison.
Step 2 Position the chassis in the rack.
Step 3 Align the mounting holes in the L bracket with the mounting holes in the
equipment rack. (See Figure 2-2.)

Step 4 Use the number 12-24 screws shipped with the chassis to mount the chassis in the
rack. (See Figure 2-2.) Use seven screws on each L bracket on the sides of the
chassis. Start with the first screw at the top of the chassis and use a screw every 2
RU to equally space the screws out and safely secure the chassis in the rack.
Step 5 Place the cable management tray over the fan assembly, ensuring that the tray is
just under the chassis slots.

Step 6 Secure the cable management tray to the rack with four number 12-24 screws, two
on each side. To ensure correct placement of the tray, install the second of the two
screws in the sixth slot from the bottom of the chassis rack up on each side of the
cable management tray. (See Figure 2-3.)
Note Test the cable management tray placement before cabling up the system.
Step 7 Attach the top cable management guide to the chassis just above the slots using
the number 12-24 screws. Make sure the grounding holes are visible through the
top cable management guide.

Installing the Drawers

Installing the Drawers
The process for installing the cable storage and cross connect drawers is the same.
The order of placement beneath the chassis is important and should be installed
in the following order from top to bottom:
1. Cable storage drawer
2. Cross connect drawer
3. Cross connect drawer
4. Cable storage drawer
5. Cross connect drawer
6. Cross connect drawer
The first cable storage drawer can be used for direct connections and storage for
connections made using the first and second cross connect drawers. Each cable
storage drawer stores cables for two cross connect drawers.
The cross connect and cable storage drawers ship with the rack mount ears already
installed. To install the cross connect and cable storage drawers into the rack,
follow these steps:
Step 1 Hold the drawer with both hands and position the drawer in the rack beneath the
chassis. (See Figure 2-4.) All drawers following this first one can be stacked
directly underneath each other.
