(7.6 cm) of clearance around the ventilation openings. Warning The ONS 15327 must have 1 inch of airspace below the installed shelf assembly to allow air flow to the fan intake. The air ramp (the angled piece of sheet metal on top of the shelf assembly) provides this spacing and should not be modified in any way.
Install Hardware NTP-B2 Install the Shelf Assembly When mounting the ONS 15327 in a frame with a non-conductive coating (such as paint, lacquer, or Caution enamel) use the thread-forming screws provided with the ONS 15327 shipping kit or remove the coating from the threads to ensure electrical continuity.
Page 36
Security Level None Mounting the ONS 15327 in a rack requires a minimum of 5.2 inches of vertical rack space (plus 1 inch Note for air flow). To ensure the mounting is secure, use two to four #12-24 mounting screws for each side of the shelf assembly.
1-8. Note If you want to install a tie-down bar on the rack, be sure to leave 1 RU between each ONS 15327 you plan to install and the tie-down bar. Repeat the task with the remaining ONS 15327s (up to 12 shelves can fit in a rack).

If you require redundant power, more than 14 DS-1s, or you are using DS-3s, install MIC B in Slot 7. Step 2 Warning Always make sure power is disconnected before removing MICs from the ONS 15327. Continue with the “NTP-B6 Install the Power and Ground” procedure on page 1-12.
(such as copper and aluminum, or copper and copper-clad aluminum), unless the device is suited for the purpose and conditions of use. Connect the ONS 15327 only to a DC power source that complies with the safety extra-low voltage Warning (SELV) requirements in IEC 60950-based safety standards.
Step 2 left-hand side panel as you face the ONS 15327. When terminating a frame ground, use the kep-nut provided with the ONS 15327 and tighten it Note to a torque specification of 31 in-lbs. The kep-nut provides a frame ground connection that minimizes the possibility of loosening caused by rotation during installation and maintenance activity.
Onsite/Remote Onsite Security Level None Do not apply power to the ONS 15327 until you complete all installation steps and check the continuity Warning of the -48 VDC and return. Caution Before you make any crimp connections, coat all bare conductors (battery, battery return, and frame ground) with an appropriate antioxidant compound.
Page 43
When installing the ONS 15327, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected Warning last. Strip .22 inches of insulation from all power cables that you connect to the ONS 15327 power Step 4 connectors. Do not expose more than .22 inches of bare wire on power cables.
Step 7 Insert the (black) return (RTN) wire into the right connector slot. Figure 1-5 shows a power cable being inserted into the MIC power connector. Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide, R4.0 1-16 March 2003...
Replace the cable fastening screw for the battery (-48V) wire and tighten it with the screwdriver. Step 10 Insert the connector back into the slot on the MIC and tighten the screws with the screwdriver. Figure 1-6 Step 11 shows the MIC power connector being installed.

MIC. Step 13 In case a power cable is damaged or cut, Cisco recommends that you diversely route redundant power Caution leads along different paths. If you installed the tie-down bar, you can run one power lead across the tie-down bar and secure it using tie-wraps or other site-specific methods.
This task measures the power to verify correct power and returns. Tools/Equipment Voltmeter Prerequisite Procedures DLP-B16 Connect the Office Ground to the ONS 15327, page 1-13 DLP-B17 Connect Office Power to the ONS 15327 Shelf (Screw-Lock Power Connector), page 1-14 Required/As Needed...
Onsite Security Level None Do not operate an ONS 15327 without a fan-tray air filter. A fan-tray air filter is mandatory. Caution 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 assembly on top of the air filter.
Install blank faceplates into empty card slots. Blank faceplates serve three functions: They prevent Warning exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the ONS 15327 chassis, they eliminate electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment, and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis.
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture ports of the single-mode fiber optic Warning modules when no cable is connected. Avoid exposure and do not stare into open apertures. Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide, R4.0 1-24 March 2003...
Verify that you are installing compatible SFPs; for example, SX to SX, LX to LX. SFPs must be matched Step 3 on either end by type. Plug the duplex connector of the fiber into a Cisco-supported SFP connector. If the new SFP connector Step 4 has a latch, close the latch over the cable to secure it.
The card is one of two installed XTC cards (a default XTC protection group was created); to replace • an XTC card, refer to the Replace Hardware chapter in the Cisco ONS 15454 Troubleshooting Guide The card is part of a protection group; see DLP-B155 Delete a Protection Group, page 9-14 •...
Step 4 Physically remove the card: Open the card latches/ejectors. Use the latches/ejectors to pull the card forward and away from the shelf. Return to your originating procedure (NTP). Step 5 Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide, R4.0 1-27 March 2003...

Onsite/Remote Onsite Security Level None Always use the supplied ESD wristband when working with a powered ONS 15327. Plug the wristband Caution cable into the ESD jack located between the top high-speed and XTC slots. Step 1 Place a BNC cable connector over the connector on the MIC.
Onsite Security Level None Because cables can be damaged or cut, Cisco recommends that you diversely route redundant cables Caution along different paths. If you installed the tie-down bar, you can run one cable across the tie-down bar and secure it using tie-wraps or other site-specific methods. You should route the other cable in the opposite direction.
Dust particles can degrade performance. Put caps on any fiber connectors that are not used. Note To install fiber-optic cables in the ONS 15327, a fiber cable with the corresponding connector type must be connected to the transmit and receive ports on the ONS 15327 cards. Step 1 Test the optical receive levels for the installed cards and attenuate them accordingly.
As needed, complete the “DLP-B46 Route Fiber-Optic Cables” task on page 1-47. Continue with the “NTP-B13 Perform the Shelf Installation Acceptance Test” task on page 1-48. Step 7 Stop. You have completed this procedure. Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide, R4.0 1-41 March 2003...
Inspect and clean all fiber connectors thoroughly. See the “NTP-B112 Clean Fiber Connectors” Note procedure on page 14-20 for instructions. Dust particles can degrade performance. Put caps on any fiber connectors that are not used. Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide, R4.0 1-42 March 2003...
ONS 15327 OC-12 and OC-48 cards have SC connectors and the OC-3 and G1000-2 cards have LC Note connectors. On ONS 15327 OC-12 and OC-48 card ports, the left connector is the transmit port and the right connector is the receive port.

Onsite Security Level None Because an optical cable can be damaged or cut, Cisco recommends that you diversely route redundant Caution cables along different paths. If you installed the tie-down bar, you can run one cable across the tie-down bar and secure it using tie-wraps or other site-specific methods. You should route the other cable in the opposite direction.
