Step 2 Align the connectors on the EIA you want to install with the mating connectors on the backplane, using
the plastic guide posts on the connectors.
Caution Do not firmly apply pressure to the EIA; this could damage the EIA and backplane connectors.
Step 3 Seat the EIA as flat as possible by gently exerting enough pressure with your hands to only partially seat
the connectors. Do not try and fully insert the EIA.
Step 4 Locate the two jack screws on the EIA, which are found on the opposite corners (Figure 1-4 on
page 1-11). (For example, on the B-side EIA, the screws are located in the top right and bottom left
corners.)
Step 5 Starting with either jack screw, tighten the thumb screw turn five full turns, then turn the other thumb screw
five full turns (Figure 1-5). Alternate between the jack screws until the EIA is full seated onto the chassis and
the jack screws are hand tight. The EIA is fully mated when both jack screws are fully threaded into the
chassis.

Warning This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to
de-energize the unit. Statement 1028
Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024
Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit.
Statement 1003

NTP-H152 Install the Fan-Tray Assembly
Caution Do not operate an ONS 15310-MA SDH without a fan-tray air filter. A fan-tray air filter is mandatory
for compliance with IEC 60950-1 standard.
Caution You must place the edge of the air filter flush against the front of the fan-tray assembly compartment
when installing the fan tray on top of the filter. Failure to do so could result in damage to the filter, the
fan tray, or both.
Caution Do not force a fan-tray assembly into place. Doing so can damage the connectors on the fan tray and/or
the connectors on the back panel of the shelf assembly.
Warning Order Wire (OW) port is an intra-building wiring port used only for maintenance purposes and is not
connected during normal operation. This port must NOT be connected to any telecommunication
network.
Step 1 Install the air filter. The air filter is installed internally in the slot at the top left of the shelf assembly
(Figure 1-6). Pull the tab, located at the center of the front of the fan filter, toward you. Make sure the
tab is facing up before you install the fan filter.
Purpose This procedure installs the air filter and fan-tray assembly in the ONS

Chapter 1 Install the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH
Required Tools and Equipment
NTP-H154 Install the Ethernet Cards
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Statement 1029
Warning To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) standard for
electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect the copper Ethernet ports to intrabuilding or
nonexposed wiring and cabling only.
Warning The Ethernet ports and the LAN port on 15310E-CTX-K9 cards of ONS15310-MA SDH are intra-building
ports and are suitable only for connecting to cat-5 shielded (STP) cabling grounded at both ends.
Statement 1084
Warning The CRAFT ports of ONS15310-MA SDH are intra-building ports used only for setup and maintenance
purposes by trained personnel and are not connected during normal operation. Statement 1085
Caution Do not install an Ethernet card in an ONS 15310-MA SDH if the ambient temperature exceeds 149
degrees F (65 degrees C).
Caution Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15310-MA SDH. Plug the
wristband cable into either of the ESD jacks, on the far left and right faceplates in the shelf.
Note If protective clips are installed on the backplane connectors of the cards, remove the clips before
installing the cards.
Purpose This procedure installs the Ethernet cards (CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, or
ML-100T-8) in the ONS 15310-MA SDH. Ethernet cards can be installed
in any traffic card slot (Slot 1, 2, 5, or 6).

Chapter 1 Install the Cisco ONS 15310-MA SDH
Required Tools and Equipment
Step 1 Install an Ethernet card (CE-100T-8, CE-MR-6, or ML-100T-8) in a traffic card slot:
a. Open the card ejector.
b. Use the ejector at the top of the card and firmly slide the card along the guide rails until the card
plugs into the receptacle at the back of the slot.
c. Verify that the card is inserted correctly and close the ejector on the card.
Note The Ethernet cards are hot-pluggable, which means they can be inserted or removed without
turning off the power to the ONS 15310-MA SDH.
Step 2 Verify the Ethernet card LED activity:
a. Verify that the red FAIL LED is off.
b. Verify that the green ACT LED is on.
Step 3 When you log into CTC, verify that the card appears properly in CTC node view.
Step 4 Complete the “NTP-H159 Install and Remove SFPs” procedure on page 1-27 if you are using CE-MR-6
cards.
Step 5 As necessary, continue with the “NTP-H155 Install the Electrical Cards” procedure on page 1-23.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-H187 Install STM-N Cards and Connectors
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. Statement 94
Warning Class I (21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11) and Class 1M (IEC 60825-1 2001-01) laser products. Statement 291
Purpose This procedure installs the optical cards (STM-1, STM1-8, STM-4,
STM4-4, STM-16, and STM-64, and MRC-12). The MRC-12 (multirate),
OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach (STM64-XFP Short Reach), and
OC192/STM64 Any Reach(STM64-XFP Any Reach) cards require Small
Form-factor Pluggables (SFPs/XFPs) to provide the fiber interface to the
cards. On all other optical cards, the fiber is plugged directly into the card.
Install according to site plan, if available.
Tools/Equipment STM-1, STM-4, STM-16, STM-64, and MRC-12 cards (as applicable)
