NTP- A5 Install the EIAs
NTP-A5 Install the EIAs
Caution Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the wristband
cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.
Note EIAs are normally factory installed. Verify that the correct EIA is installed on the shelf assembly. If not,
install the correct EIA.
Note You do not need to power down the shelf before removing or installing an EIA. An in-service upgrade
of one EIA (A side or B side) is possible if all electrical traffic (DS-1, DS-3, DS3XM-6, and EC-1) is
being carried on the other side.
Step 1 Complete the “DLP-A12 Install a BNC or High-Density BNC EIA” task on page 17-12 as needed. BNCs
are locking connectors; the high-density BNC provides access to every port on every card.
Step 2 Complete the “DLP-A373 Install a MiniBNC EIA” task on page 20-56 as needed. The MiniBNC allows
up to 96 DS-3 circuits on each side of the ONS 15454.
Step 3 Complete the “DLP-A13 Install an SMB EIA” task on page 17-15 as needed. SMBs allow you to access
every port on every card using more space and efficient cabling.
Step 4 Complete the “DLP-A14 Install the AMP Champ EIA” task on page 17-16 as needed. AMP Champs are
exclusive to DS-1 cables.
Step 5 Complete the “DLP-A190 Install a UBIC-V EIA” task on page 18-59 as needed. The UBIC-V (vertical)
EIAs allow you to use high-density electrical cards. The UBIC-V EIAs provide SCSI connectors.
Step 6 Complete the “DLP-A399 Install a UBIC-H EIA” task on page 20-108 as needed. The UBIC-H
(horizontal) EIAs allow you to use high-density electrical cards. The UBIC-H EIAs provide SCSI
connectors.
Purpose This procedure describes how to install electrical interface assemblies
(EIAs). Typically, an EIA panel is installed on the backplane during
manufacturing, but EIA panels can be ordered separately. Refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 Reference Manual for descriptions of the EIAs.

Warning Connect the unit only to DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage (SELV)
requirements in IEC 60950 based safety standards. Statement 1033
Warning This product requires short-circuit (overcurrent) protection, to be provided as part of the building

Caution Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the wristband
cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.
Step 1 Verify one of the following:
•If you have the 15454-SA-ANSI or 15454-SA-HD shelf, a 100-A fuse panel (35-A fuse per shelf
minimum) should be installed. If not, install one according to manufacturer’s instructions.
•If you have the 15454-SA-NEBS3 shelf, a standard 80-A fuse panel (20-A fuse per shelf minimum)
should be installed. If not, install one according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 2 Complete the “DLP-A16 Connect the Office Ground to the ONS 15454” task on page 17-18.
Step 3 Complete the “DLP-A17 Connect Office Power to the ONS 15454 Shelf” task on page 17-19.

NTP- A7 Install the Fan-Tray Assembly
NTP-A7 Install the Fan-Tray Assembly
Caution Do not operate an ONS 15454 without a fan-tray air filter. A fan-tray air filter is mandatory.
Caution The 15454-FTA3 fan-tray assembly can only be installed in ONS 15454 Release 3.1 or later shelf
assemblies (15454-SA-ANSI, 800-19857; 15454-SA-HD, 800-24848). It includes a pin that does not
allow it to be installed in ONS 15454 shelf assemblies released earlier than ONS 15454 Release 3.1
(15454-SA-NEBS3E, 15454-SA-NEBS3, and 15454-SA-R1, P/N 800-0714915454). Installing the
15454-FTA3 in a noncompliant shelf assembly might result in failure of the alarm interface panel (AIP),
which in turn, will result in power loss to the fan-tray assembly.
Note 15454-CC-FTA is compatible with Software Release 2.2.2 and greater and shelf assemblies
15454-SA-HD and 15454-SA-ANSI.
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.
Caution If the fan tray does not slide all the way to the back of the shelf assembly, pull the fan tray out and
readjust the position of the reusable filter until the fan tray fits correctly. Be sure that the grid on the
reusable filter is on the side facing the fan tray.
Purpose This procedure installs the fan-tray assembly. Refer to the Cisco ONS
15454 Reference Manual for specific information about fan-tray assembly
compatibility and air filters.

Chapter 1 Install the Shelf and Backplane Cable
NTP- A7 Install the Fan-Tray Assembly
Note If you are installing the ONS 15454 in an outside plant cabinet, remove the air filter to provide maximum
cooling capabilities and to comply with Telcordia GR-487-CORE.
Note To install the fan-tray assembly, it is not necessary to move any of the cable-management facilities.
Step 1 Install the air filter. The air filter can be installed internally between the fan tray and shelf assembly, or
externally by mounting the air filter bracket on the bottom of the shelf assembly. Slide the air filter into
the bracket.
Caution Although the air filter can work with older fan trays if it is installed with either side facing up, Cisco
recommends that you install it with the metal bracing facing up to preserve the surface of the filter. You
must install the air filter with the metal bracing facing up with 15454-CC-FTA.
Step 2 Install the fan-tray assembly. The fan-tray assembly has locks on the outer edges. Press and hold the
locks as you slide the fan-tray assembly into the shelf assembly. The electrical plug at the rear of the tray
should plug into the corresponding receptacle on the assembly.
Caution Do not force a fan-tray assembly into place. This can damage the connectors on the fan-tray assembly
and/or the connectors on the back panel of the shelf assembly.
Step 3 To verify that the tray has plugged into the backplane, look at the fan tray and listen to determine that
the fans are running.
Figure 1-1 shows the location of the fan tray.

Purpose This procedure installs an alarm expansion panel (AEP) onto the
15454-SA-ANSI or 15454-SA-HD shelf backplane. The AEP provides
alarm contacts in addition to the 16 provided by the AIC-I card. Typically,
the AEP is preinstalled when ordered with the ONS 15454; however, the
AEP can be ordered separately. The AIC-I card must be installed before
you can provision the alarm contacts enabled by the AEP.

NTP- A119 Install the Alarm Expansion Panel
Note The AIC-I card provides direct alarm contacts (external alarm inputs and external control outputs). In
the ANSI shelf, these AIC-I alarm contacts are routed through the backplane to wire-wrap pins
accessible from the back of the shelf. When you install an AEP, the direct AIC-I alarm contacts cannot
be used. Only the AEP alarm contacts can be used.
Step 1 Remove the two backplane screws. Replace the two screws with standoffs. Insert the longer standoff on
the left and the shorter standoff on the right (Figure 1-2).
Figure 1-2 Replace Backplane Screws with Standoffs
Step 2 Attach the remaining two standoffs on either side of the backplane (Figure 1-3).

Purpose This procedure describes how to install alarm, timing, LAN, and craft
wires.
Tools/Equipment Wire wrapper
#22 or #24 AWG (0.51 mm² or 0.64 mm²) alarm wires

Chapter 1 Install the Shelf and Backplane Cable
NTP- A120 Install an External Wire-Wrap Panel to the AEP
Step 4 Complete the “DLP-A22 Install the TL1 Craft Interface” task on page 17-29 as needed. Craft wires (or
the EIA/TIA-232 port on the TCC2/TCC2P) are required to access TL1 using the craft interface.
Caution Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15454. Plug the
wristband cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right outside edge of the shelf
assembly.
Step 5 Complete one of the following:
•If you installed an AEP, continue with the “NTP-A120 Install an External Wire-Wrap Panel to the
AEP” procedure on page 1-17.
•If you did not install an AEP and you plan to install electrical cards, continue with the “NTP-A9
Install the Electrical Card Cables on the Backplane” procedure on page 1-22.
•If you did not install an AEP and do not plan to install electrical cards, continue with the “NTP-A11
Install the Rear Cover” procedure on page 1-23.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
NTP-A120 Install an External Wire-Wrap Panel to the AEP
Step 1 Position the lower cover over the AEP. Make sure that the AEP AMP Champ connectors protrude
through the cutouts in the lower cover (Figure 1-5).
Purpose This procedure connects an external wire-wrap panel to the AEP to provide
the physical alarm contacts for the AEP.
