Caution The 15454-FTA3 fan-tray assembly can only be installed in ONS 15454 Release 3.1 or later shelf assemblies (15454-SA-ANSI, 800-19857; 15454-SA-HD, 800-24848). It includes a pin that does not allow it to be installed in ONS 15454 shelf assemblies released earlier than ONS 15454 Release 3.1 (15454-SA-NEBS3E, 15454-SA-NEBS3, and 15454-SA-R1, P/N 800-0714915454). Installing the 15454-FTA3 in a noncompliant shelf assembly might result in failure of the alarm interface panel (AIP), which in turn, will result in power loss to the fan-tray assembly.

---

Note 15454-CC-FTA is compatible with Software Release 2.2.2 and greater and shelf assemblies 15454-SA-HD and 15454-SA-ANSI.

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 on top of the filter. Failure to do so could result in damage to the filter, the fan tray, or both.

---

Caution Do not force a fan-tray assembly into place. Doing so can damage the connectors on the fan tray and/or the connectors on the back panel of the shelf assembly.

---

Caution If the fan tray does not slide all the way to the back of the shelf assembly, pull the fan tray out and readjust the position of the reusable filter until the fan tray fits correctly. Be sure that the grid on the reusable filter is on the side facing the fan tray.

---

Note If you are installing the ONS 15454 in an outside plant cabinet, remove the air filter to provide maximum cooling capabilities and to comply with Telcordia GR-487-CORE.

Note To install the fan-tray assembly, it is not necessary to move any of the cable-management facilities.

Step 1 Install the air filter. The air filter can be installed internally between the fan tray and shelf assembly, or externally by mounting the air filter bracket on the bottom of the shelf assembly. Slide the air filter into the bracket.

Caution Although the air filter can work with older fan trays if it is installed with either side facing up, Cisco recommends that you install it with the metal bracing facing up to preserve the surface of the filter. You must install the air filter with the metal bracing facing up with 15454-CC-FTA.
