Installing the Cisco NCS 2002 Door and Other Modules

This chapter describes how to install the NCS 2015 door and other modules.

The sections are:

Front Door

The front door of the NCS 2002 provides access to the shelf and air-filter.

There are two types of front doors that act as protective panels—standard door and deep-front panel. The deep-front panel provides additional space in front of the shelf to accommodate cables that do not fit inside the standard door. The deep-front panel provides more space for fiber bend radius and to manage the line card connections. The deep-front panel does not have a hinge and cannot be rotated like the standard door.

If a standard front door was ordered, the NCS 2002 is shipped with a preinstalled standard door. If a deep-front panel was ordered, it is shipped in a separate package.

You can remove the door to provide unrestricted access to the front of the shelf.

An erasable label is pasted on the inside of the front door. You can use the label to record slot and port assignments, card types, node ID, rack ID, and serial number of the NCS 2002 shelf.

The following figure shows the erasable label on the NCS 2002 shelf.

Power Modules

The NCS 2002 system contains the following pluggable power modules:

  • AC power module
  • DC power module

In addition to supplying power to the NCS 2002 shelf, the power modules support the following connections:

  • LAN Connection—An Ethernet port (RJ-45) that supports the element manager system (EMS) connection. The RJ-45 port is used to connect the EMS or the craft interface terminal to access the NCS 2002 shelf.
  • Passive Unit Inventory Interfaces (USB port)—The passive unit inventory interfaces are used to retrieve inventory information from passive devices such as, fiber trays, FBG DCU, patch panels, passive muxponder and demuxponder and so on. The inventory details are displayed in the Inventory tab in CTC.
  • Timing Connections—The BITS-IN port receives input from third party external sources called SSU (Synchronization Supply Unit) to synchronize the timing of the NCS 2002 shelf. The BITS-OUT port provides output to external devices (other Cisco or third party shelves) to synchronize the timing signals with the NCS 2006 shelf.

The NCS 2002 shelf has a BITS-IN and BITS-OUT port on the power module. The BITS-IN and BITS-OUT connections are supported by:

    • Wire-wrap pins and mini-BNC connectors on the AC power module.
    • Mini-BNC connectors on the ETSI DC power module.
    • Wire-wrap pins on the ANSI DC power module.

Note
For timing connection, use 100-ohm shielded BITS clock cable pair #22 or #24 AWG (0.51 mm² [0.020 inch] or 0.64 mm² [0.0252 inch]) twisted-pair T1-type.

Note
Refer to Telcordia SR-NWT-002224 for rules about provisioning timing references.

AC Power Module

The AC power module converts the AC input current to DC output current.

Each AC power module has:

  • One AC single phase three poles (line L, Neutral N, and Protective Earth PE) input connector
  • One RJ-45 port for EMS connection
  • One USB port to support passive unit remote inventory connection
  • Two BITs connections (IN and OUT) for network synchronization supported by mini BNC
  • Two BITs connections (IN and OUT) for network synchronization supported by four wire-wrap pins

The AC power module has a single dual-color (red and green) LED on the faceplate. When the AC power line is not connected, the LED is OFF. Green LED indicates that the AC power line is connected and the power module is functioning properly. Red LED indicates that the AC power line is connected but an alarm is present due to secondary (48 V) fuse break. The shelf controller card controls the conditions that result in triggering the LED. The LED can be overwritten by the shelf controller card (TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE) in all the three states (OFF/red/green). The AC power module supports the lamp test procedure and the LED changes its color or state. The fans in the NCS 2002 shelf cool the AC module and guarantee proper operation across the complete operating temperature or output power range.

DC Power Module

The NCS 2002 system can be powered by redundant DC power lines, however a single power line can power the entire NCS 2002 system. The DC power module draws the power from the batteries to turn on the NCS 2002.

Each ETSI DC power module has:

  • Two input battery connectors (two poles): -48V, RET for power terminals A and B.
  • One RJ-45 port for EMS connection
  • One USB port to support passive unit remote inventory connection
  • Two BITS connections (IN and OUT) for network synchronization that is supported by mini BNC

Each ANSI DC power module has:

  • Two terminal block connectors with -48V, RET for power terminals A and B
  • One RJ-45 port for EMS connection
  • One USB port to support passive unit remote inventory connection
  • Two BITS connections (IN and OUT) for network synchronization supported by four wire-wrap pins

The DC power module has a single dual-color (red and green) LED on the faceplate. When the battery is not connected, the LED is OFF. Green LED indicates that the battery is connected and the power module functions properly. Red LED indicates that the battery is connected but an alarm is present due to secondary fuse break (48 V). The DC power module does not support the lamp test procedure.

Feature Description

New Modular DC Power Module on NCS 2002 Chassis

Cisco NCS 2000 Release 11.13

The design of the DC Power module is enhanced to make the power system modular. The modular units comprise a primary frame and two replaceable DC PSUs (available for both ETSI and ANSI variants), each with unique PIDs. The PSUs are field replaceable and provide redundancy to the power system.

The modular Dc Power module has three main components, one primary frame and two field replaceable DC PSUs (PSUA and PSUB). There are two variants of the PSUs, for ETSI and ANSI connectors. The DC Frame is common for both variants of the PSUs.

  • Main frame (PID: NCS2002-PSU-DC)—Includes two input slots to insert the PSUs, One RJ-45 port for EMS connection, One USB port to support passive unit remote inventory connection, two BITS connections (IN and OUT) for network synchronization.

  • PSUs—Field Replaceable Units (FRU) that can be inserted into the slots of the Main frame. The PSU has

    • The ETSI variant (PID: NCS2002-DC2-E) has two input battery connectors (two poles): -48V, RET for power terminals A and B.

    • The ANSI variant (PID: NCS2002-DC2-PSU-NA) has two terminal block connectors with -48V, RET for power terminals A and B.

In this modular DC power module, the input connector, DC filter and fuses for each battery are separated into two independent and field replaceable PSUs. In this case, if there is a failure on the protection block of one battery, it can be replaced without interrupting the functioning of the chassis.

Figure 26. Perspective Views of the ANSI PSU

Note

When you plug out the PSU and plug it in again, the control card requires a minimum of five seconds to read the voltage. During this period, although the PSU is in place, the BAT-FAIL (Battery Fail) alarm will be raised followed by the ELWBATVG (Extreme Low Voltage) alarm. These alarms are raised after each plug out and plug in operation. However, these alarms will get cleared one after the other after few minutes.

Fan-Tray Assembly

The fan-tray supported on the Cisco NCS 2002 shelf is FTA

The fan-tray assembly is installed on the left side of the NCS 2002 shelf. The fan-tray assembly is removable and holds the fan-control circuitry and the fans for the NCS 2002 shelf.

There are four LEDs on the fan-tray assembly:

  • Three alarm LEDs (CRIT, MAJ, and MIN) that indicate whether a critical, major, or minor alarm is present anywhere on the NCS 2002 shelf.
  • One fan fail LED that indicates fan failure.

When the fan-tray assembly is not functioning and the power line is not connected, the LED is OFF. A red LED indicates an alarm in the fan-tray assembly. A green LED indicates that the fan-tray assembly is functioning, the power line is connected, and the power module is functioning properly, the LED is green. When the power line is connected and if there is no TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE card installed in the NCS 2002 shelf, then the LED is OFF.

The shelf controller card controls the conditions that result in triggering the LEDs. The LED can be overwritten by the shelf controller card (TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE) in all the three states (OFF/red/green). The fan-tray assembly supports the lamp test procedure.

The fan-tray assembly has an LCD screen that provides slot and port-level information for all card slots, and the number of critical, major, and minor alarms. The shelf controller card (TSC, TSCE, TNC, or TNCE) drives the 16 X 2 character LCD screen. The LCD screen displays the shelf name, IP address, and software version that is currently used. The display contrast is automatically adjusted for clear view. The three accessible push buttons (SLOT, STATUS, and PORT) on the fan-tray assembly are used to set the slot and port level parameters.


Note
The fan-tray assembly should be installed only after installing the power module. During the system startup or fan-tray replacement, the inventory data of the fan-tray assembly and the power module is displayed in the Inventory tab of CTC after a delay of approximately 6 minutes.

After you install the fan-tray, you should only access it if a fan failure occurs. To clean and replace the fan-tray assembly, see the “Maintain the Node” chapter in the Cisco NCS 2000 Series Network Configuration Guide .


Note
If the fan-tray assembly is removed from the shelf, wait for at least 5 seconds before plugging it back into the shelf. In the event the LCD display on the fan-tray assembly appears blank, remove the unit from the shelf, wait for at least 5 seconds and reinsert the unit into the shelf.

A back-up flash memory is fitted into the fan-tray assembly to support the database (DB) and image back-up in the single mode operation of the NCS 2002.

Fan Speed

Fan speed is controlled by the TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE card temperature sensors. The sensors measure the input air temperature at the fan-tray assembly. Fan speed options are low, medium, and high. If the TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE card fails, the fans automatically shift to high speed. The temperature measured by the TNC, TNCE, TSC, or TSCE sensors appears on the LCD screen.

Fan Failure

If one or more fans fail on the fan-tray assembly, replace the entire assembly. You cannot replace individual fans. The red Fan Fail LED on the front of the fan-tray illuminates when one or more fans fail. The red Fan Fail LED clears after you install a working fan-tray.
