Chapter: Preparing to Install the PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter
Preparing to Install the PA-A2 ATM CES Port Adapter
This chapter describes the general equipment, safety, and site preparation requirements for installing modules. This chapter contains the following sections:
•
Minimum Software and Hardware Requirements
•Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools and parts to install modules. If you need additional equipment, contact a service representative for ordering information.
•PA-A2 ATM CES port adapter to be installed
•Specific cables for your module
•Number 1 Phillips and a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
•Number 2 Phillips screwdriver
•Your own electrostatic discharge (ESD)-prevention equipment or the disposable grounding wrist strap included with all upgrade kits, field-replaceable units (FRUs), and spares
•Antistatic mat
•Antistatic container
Minimum Software and Hardware Requirements
Table 2-1 lists the minimumCisco IOS software release required to use the PA-A2 ATM CES port adapter in supported router platforms.
Checking Hardware and Software Compatibility
To check the minimum software requirements of Cisco IOS software with the hardware installed on your router, Cisco maintains the Software Advisor tool on Cisco.com. This tool does not verify whether modules within a system are compatible, but it does provide the minimum IOS requirements for individual hardware modules or components.
Note Access to this tool is limited to users with Cisco.com login accounts.
To access Software Advisor, click Login at Cisco.com and go to Technical Support Help—Cisco TAC: Tool Index: Software Advisor. You can also access the tool by pointing your browser directly to http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/support/CompNav/Index.pl.
Choose a product family or enter a specific product number to search for the minimum supported software release needed for your hardware.
Safety Guidelines
This section provides safety guidelines that you should follow when working with any equipment that connects to electrical power or telephone wiring.
Safety Warnings
Safety warnings appear throughout this publication in procedures that, if performed incorrectly, might harm you. A warning symbol precedes each warning statement.
Electrical Equipment Guidelines
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
•Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
•Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
•Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.
•Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
•Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe; carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Telephone Wiring Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or to other network cabling:
•Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
•Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
•Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which can occur when electronic cards or components are improperly handled, results in complete or intermittent failures. Port adapters and processor modules comprise printed circuit boards that are fixed in metal carriers. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and connectors are integral components of the carrier. Although the metal carrier helps to protect the board from ESD, use a preventive antistatic strap during handling.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
•Always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact.
•Connect the equipment end of the strap to an unfinished chassis surface.
•When installing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to properly seat the bus connectors in the backplane or midplane. These devices prevent accidental removal, provide proper grounding for the system, and help to ensure that bus connectors are properly seated.
•When removing a component, use any available ejector levers or captive installation screws to release the bus connectors from the backplane or midplane.
•Handle carriers by available handles or edges only; avoid touching the printed circuit boards or connectors.
•Place a removed board component-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding container. If you plan to return the component to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding container.
•Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components from ESD voltages on the body; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.
•Never attempt to remove the printed circuit board from the metal carrier.
For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).
Laser/LED Safety
The single-mode transmitter in the module uses a small laser to transmit the light signal to the network ring. Keep the transmit port covered whenever a cable is not connected to it. Although multimode transceivers typically use LEDs for transmission, it is good practice to keep open ports covered and avoid staring into open ports or apertures. The single-mode aperture port contains a laser warning label, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 Laser Warning Labels for Single-Mode Port
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from the aperture ports of the single-mode products when no fiber cable is connected. Avoid exposure and do not stare into open apertures.
Warning Class 1 laser product.
The multimode aperture contains a Class 1 LED warning label, as shown in Figure 2-2.
Figure 2-2 Class 1 LED Warning Label for Multimode Port
Warning Because invisible laser radiation may be emitted form the aperture of the port when no fiber cable is connected, avoid exposure to radiation and do not stare into open apertures.
Warning Class 1 LED product.
FCC Class A Compliance
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
•Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
•Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
•Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
•Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Warning This product has been designed to meet these requirements. Modifications to this product that are not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the various approvals and negate your authority to operate the product.
BABT Compliance
The BABT607116 marking on the module signifies that it meets United Kingdom directive 607116 and has been designed to BABT standards. The BABT label is located on the top of the module; Figure 2-3 shows the BABT label for the module.
Figure 2-3 BABT Label
CE Compliance
The CE0168 marking on the ATM CES port adapter signifies that the port adapter's 120-ohm E1 ports meet United Kingdom directive 0168 and has been designed to CE standards, which complies with the CTR12 and TBR13 specifications. The CE label is located on the top of the ATM CES port adapter; Figure 2-4 shows the CE label for the 120-ohm E1 ports of the ATM CES port adapter.
