Cisco ONS 15530 Overview
The Cisco ONS 15530 is a modular and scalable optical switching and
aggregation platform designed to supplement the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP. With the
Cisco ONS 15530, users can take advantage of the availability of dark fiber to
build a common infrastructure that supports data, SAN (storage area network),
and TDM (time-division multiplexing) traffic. For more information about
DWDM technology and applications, refer to the Introduction to DWDM
Technology publication and the Cisco ONS 15530 Planning and Design Guide.
The Cisco ONS 15530 is designed to meet or exceed stringent ISP (Internet
service provider) requirements for product availability and reliability.
Note Before you install, operate, or service the system, read the Regulatory
Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ONS 15500 Series for important
safety information you should know before working with the system.

Cisco ONS 15530 Chassis
The Cisco ONS 15530 is available in two configurations. Both have two vertically
stacked half-height slots specifically for the optical OADM (optical add drop
multiplexing) modules, and 10 vertically oriented slots that hold the CPU switch

modules, line cards, and 2.5-G transponder trunk line cards. Slot 0 holds two half
height optical OADM modules. Slots 1 through 4 and slots 7 through 10 hold the
line cards and transponder cards. Slots 5 and 6 hold the CPU switch modules.
Power supplies are located on the right side of the chassis next to slot 10. Air inlet
and fan tray assembly are located beneath the slots. Cable management is located
beneath the slots. The system has an electrical backplane for system control. All
optical connections are located on the front of the cards. Figure 1-1 shows a fully
populated chassis.

The chassis configurations differ in how cooling air is routed through the chassis
and where the lifting handles are placed.

Fan Assembly
The Cisco ONS 15530 fan assembly is located at the bottom of the chassis. The
assembly contains six individual fans and a fan controller board (see Figure 1-8).
The controller board monitors the status of each fan and reports the status to the
CPU switch modules. If a single fan fails, a minor alarm is reported to the CPU
and the fan assembly LED changes from green to yellow (see Figure 1-7). If two
or more fans fail, a major alarm is reported to the CPU and the fan LED changes
to red.
Table 1-1 lists the fan assembly LED status describing the alarm reports for the
fan assembly. The fan assembly is hot-swappable.

Backplane
The Cisco ONS 15530 backplane implements all board-to-board signal
interconnects and provides power distribution within the chassis. Connections are
present for two power supplies and the fan assembly. The backplane contains a
total of 12 slots; two half-height slots for the OADM modules, two full height
slots for the CPU switch modules, and eight full height slots for line cards and
transponder cards.
Cable Storage Drawer
The cable storage drawer is mounted directly below the fan assembly. It provides
storage for the excess cable length. Sliding radius limiters move to release the
excess fiber cable slack when the drawer is pulled out, allowing the user to raise
the fiber routing tray and access the fan assembly.

CPU Switch Modules
The Cisco ONS 15530 supports two CPU switch modules for redundancy, one in
active mode and the other in hot-standby mode. CPU switch modules are installed
in slot 5 and slot 6. Each CPU switch module has a processor, a switch fabric, a
clock, an Ethernet switch for communication between processors and with the
LRC (line card redundancy controller) on the OADM modules and line cards, and
an SRC (switch card redundancy controller). The active processor controls the
system. All LRCs in the system use the system clock and synchronization signals
from the active processor. Interfaces on the CPU switch modules permit access by
10/100 Ethernet, console terminal, or modem connections.
Figure 1-11 shows the front panel of the CPU switch module.

Connector Ports
The front panel on the CPU switch module contains three ports with RJ-45
connectors (see Figure 1-11):
•Network Management Ethernet port (NME)—This Ethernet port connects the
CPU switch module to a 10/100BASE-T network management LAN.
•Console port (CON)—This asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial port connects
a terminal to the CPU switch module for local administrative access.
•Auxiliary port (AUX)—This asynchronous EIA/TIA-232 serial port connects
a modem to the CPU switch module for remote administrative access.
The RJ-45 connectors on the front panel of the CPU switch module have an extra
EMI shield and the signals going to them are filtered. Table 1-3 shows the pinouts
of the console and auxiliary ports.
CompactFlash Card Slot
A CompactFlash card slot (see Figure 1-11) can store the Cisco IOS image or a
system configuration file on a CompactFlash memory card. The system can also
boot from the software stored on the CompactFlash memory card.

OSC Modules and Carrier Motherboards
The OSC (optical supervisory channel) module supports an optional out-of-band
management channel for communicating between systems on the network. Using
a 33rd wavelength (channel 0), the OSC allows control and management traffic to
be carried without requiring a separate Ethernet connection to each Cisco ONS
15530 in the network. Up to two OSC modules can be installed in the carrier
motherboard, one module for the west direction and one for the east direction.
The OSC always terminates on a neighboring node. By contrast, data channels
may or may not be terminated on a given node, depending on whether the channels
on the OADM modules are treated as either express (pass-through) or add/drop
channels.
Figure 1-12 shows the front panel of the OSC module.

OSC Module LEDs
Table 1-4 lists the LEDs on the OSC module faceplate, their default conditions,
and what the conditions indicate.
PSM
The PSM (protection switch module) provides trunk fiber protection for Cisco
ONS 15530 systems configured in point-to-point topologies. The PSM sends the
DWDM signal from the OADM module to both the west and east directions. It
receives both the west and east signals and selects one to send to the OADM
module. When a trunk fiber cut occurs on the active path, the PSM switches the
received signal to the standby path. Since the PSM occupies one of the OADM
subslots in the shelf, it protects a maximum of four channels and the OSC in a
single shelf configuration.
The PSM also has an optical monitor port for testing the west and east receive
signals. This port samples one percent of these signals which can be monitored
with an optical power meter, or optical spectrum analyzer.
A PSM can be installed in subslots 0/0 and 0/1 of the Cisco ONS 15530 chassis.
The PSM for the Cisco ONS 15530 has a front panel with four MU connector
pairs, as shown in Figure 1-13.

Table 1-5 lists the LEDs on the PSM faceplate, their default conditions, and what

Transponder Line Cards
The protocol-transparent and bit-rate transparent transponder line card converts a
single client signal into an ITU wavelength, or channel. The transponder line
cards have tunable lasers and you can configure the line cards to work in two
different wavelengths. The Cisco ONS 15530 holds up to four transponder line
cards, one for each wavelength supported by the OADM modules.
The Cisco ONS 15530 supports four types of single client interface transponder
line cards: SM (single mode) unprotected, SM splitter protected,
MM (multimode) unprotected, and MM splitter protected. Both types of
SM transponder line cards accept SM client signals on the 1310-nm wavelength
through an SC connector and support client signal clock rates ranging from
16 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps. Both types of MM transponder line cards accept SM and
MM client signals on the 1310-nm wavelength through an SC connector and
support client signal clock rates ranging from 16 Mbps to 622 Mbps (see
Figure 1-14 and Figure 1-15).
