Purpose This procedure installs the optical cards (STM-1, STM1-8, STM-4,
STM4-4, STM-16, STM-64, and 15454_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.

Warning Class I (21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11) and Class 1M (IEC 60825-1 2001-01) laser products. Statement 291
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the end of the unterminated fiber cable or connector. Do
not view directly with optical instruments. Viewing the laser output with certain optical instruments
(for example, eye loupes, magnifiers, and microscopes) within a distance of 100 mm may pose an eye
hazard. Statement 1056
The following laser activation warning applies only to STM-64 cards with safety keys:
Warning The laser is on when the card is booted and the safety key is in the on position (labeled 1). The port
does not have to be in service for the laser to be on. The laser is off when the safety key is off (labeled
0). Statement 293
Caution Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454 SDH. Plug the
wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.
Note To simplify subnetwork connection protection (SNCP) to multiplex section-shared protection ring
(MS-SPRing) conversion and node addition, install optical cards according to an east (Slots 12 and 13)
to west (Slots 5 and 6) configuration. This configuration is not mandatory.
Note If you install a card incorrectly, the FAIL LED flashes continuously.
Note During the boot process, a Locked-enabled, disabled STM-N port will output a line alarm indication
signal (AIS-L) to any Unlocked-enabled far-end receivers. See the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH
Troubleshooting Guide for further information about the AIS-L condition.
Step 1 If you installed XC-VXL-2.5G cards, review Table 2-1 on page 2-3 to determine card/slot compatibility.
If you installed XC-VXL-10G or XC-VXC-10G cards, review Table 2-2 on page 2-5 to determine
card/slot compatibility.
Install higher-capacity cards first; for example, install an STM-64 card before installing an STM-12 card.
Let each card completely boot before installing the next card.
Note “OC192SR1/STM64IO Short Reach” and “OC192/STM64 Any Reach” are the titles that appear
on the faceplates of the STM64-XFP cards. In CTC, the cards are abbreviated as STM64-XFP.
Before installing a MRC-12 card, review Table 2-3 for bandwidth limitations based on the slot where the
card is installed and the type of cross-connect card installed in the shelf.

Chapter 2 Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable
NTP- D16 Install STM-N Cards and Connectors
Refer to the card’s reference section in the “Optical Cards” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH
Reference Manual for more information about slot and bandwidth restrictions.
Step 2 Open the card latches/ejectors.
Step 3 Use the latches/ejectors to firmly slide the optical card along the guide rails until the card plugs into the
receptacle at the back of the slot.
Step 4 Verify that the card is inserted correctly and close the latches/ejectors on the card.
Note It is possible to close the latches/ejectors when the card is not completely plugged into the
backplane. Ensure that you cannot insert the card any further.
Note If you install the wrong card in a slot, complete the “NTP-D227 Remove and Replace a Card”
procedure on page 2-21.
Step 5 Verify the LED activity:
•The red FAIL LED turns on for 20 to 30 seconds.
•The red FAIL LED blinks for 35 to 45 seconds.
•All LEDs blink once and turn off for 5 to 10 seconds.
•The ACT or ACT/STBY LED turns on. The signal fail (SF) LED can persist until all card ports
connect to their far-end counterparts and a signal is present.
Note The booting STM-N card will send an AIS-L to the far-end receiver as long as it is
Locked-enabled, disabled.
Step 6 If the card does not boot up properly, or the LED activity does not mimic Step 5, check the following:
•When a physical card type does not match the type of card provisioned for that slot in CTC, the card
might not boot. If an optical card does not boot, open CTC and verify that the slot is not provisioned
for a different card type before assuming the card is faulty.
•If the red FAIL LED does not turn on, check the power.
•If you insert a card into a slot provisioned for a different card, all LEDs turn off.
•If the red FAIL LED is illuminated continuously or the LEDs behave erratically, the card is not
installed properly. Remove the card and repeat Steps 2to 5.
