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.
