Problem Description

Hardware Engineering has discovered some of the pins from a connector manufacturer were incorrectly eliminated. This has resulted in defective 15454-EIA-1AMPA84, 15454-EIA-1BNCA48, and 15454-EIA-1SMBA84 products.

Background

Some customers with the affected 15454-EIA's installed in a High Density Shelf Assembly (15454-SA-HD) with DS1-14 modules will have issues with some or all of the A-side slots.

Some customers with the 15454-EIA's installed into a High Density Shelf Assembly (15454-SA-HD) with DS3-12 modules,
will have issues with some or all of the A-side slots.

Problem Symptoms

When a defective 15454-EIA is installed on a High Density Shelf Assembly (15454-SA-HD), ports 11 to 14 will be inoperable in some or all of the A-Side slots (slots 1 to 6) when used with DS1-14/DS1N-14 cards.

When a defective 15454-EIA is installed on a High Density Shelf Assembly (15454-SA-HD), ports 11 to 12 will be inoperable in some or all of the A-Side slots (slots 1 to 6) when used with DS-3 (DS3-12/DS3N-12 or DS3-12E/DS3N-12E) or EC1-12 cards.

Customers will not be able to activate a circuit on impacted ports.

Customers with 15454-SA-ANSI are not affected.

Workaround/Solution

There is no work around for this issue except to return the electrical EIA backplanes for replacement.
