Floor Loading

The TSR II bay maximum configuration produces the following distributed and concentrated floor loading. First, the distributed load is calculated per Bellcore GR-63-CORE and NEBS requirement for the floor area of a rectangle bounded by the bay sides (without side panels) and the center line of the minimum front (1219 mm or 48 in.) and rear (609 mm to 1219mm or 24-48 in.) aisles. Second, the concentrated load is calculated for the area of the bay frame (631.50 mm by 632 mm by 660 mm or 24.9 in. by 26 in.).

Note the following floor-loading formulas:

Distributed Load

430 kg/m2 (88 lb/ft2) - 24 inch rear aisle

395 kg/m2 (81 lb/ft2) - 36 inch rear aisle

366 kg/m2 (75 lb/ft2) - 48 inch rear aisle

Concentrated Load

1196 kg/m2 (245 lb/ft2)

Front access aisle requires a clearance of 1219 mm (48 in.) for installation and removal of the cooling modules and bay controller modules. The bay controller module is 572 mm (22.5 in.) long. (Front clearance distance is for access aisles. Non-access aisle front clearance for TSR IIs can be a minimum of 36 inches).

Rear access aisle requires a clearance of 610 mm to 1219 mm (24 in. to 48 in.) for installation and routine maintenance (replacement/cleaning of air filters).

TSR II System Configuration

The TSR II bay configuration scalable design includes route controller modules, router modules, and other hardware components. Each router module contains a line card and a switch card and resides in a single module enclosure. Each route controller module resides in a module enclosure with a power conversion card, persistent file storage, and a pair of solid state disks.

Figure 1-2. TSR II Mounted on Shipping Pallet

TSR II Full Bay Configuration

The TSR II Full Bay configuration contains a collection of single IP router modules and general-purpose dual-redundant route controller modules interconnected through a passive fabric interconnection backplane. The backplane supports multiple switching paths that enable TSR II system modules to be independent of one another and to intercommunicate one module to another through IP packet switching. Packet cut-through and high speed module-to-module interconnects significantly reduce packet forwarding delay. Multiple paths load share by random path selection on intermodule packet transfer.

System Redundancy

The TSR II Full Bay configuration is a fully redundant system. The TSR  II incorporates redundant:

Full Bay Maximum Configurations

The TSR II full bay can be expanded to multi-bay configurations without service interruption. Figure 1-4 "TSR II Maximum Configurations" shows the current maximum TSR II Full Bay configuration.

NOTE Avici recommends allowing at least 48 inches in the rear aisle between front and rear bays in a multi-bay configuration. For further information see the TSR II Install Guide (Multi-bay).

NOTE Multi-bay configurations must always be made up exclusively of "Full Bays" and not "Split Bays."

Figure 1-4. TSR II Maximum Configurations

TSR II Split Bay Configuration

The TSR II Split Bay configuration allows a single Split Bay to function as two separate routers by dividing the TSR II bay into an upper and lower router. Each router has its own:

Each upper and lower router (and their respective backplanes) operate independently but support the multiple switching paths in their respective bay locations. Each backplane supports multiple switching paths that enable TSR II modules to be independent of one another and to intercommunicate one module to another through IP packet switching. Packet cut-through and high speed module-to-module interconnects significantly reduce packet forwarding delay. Multiple paths load share by random path selection on inter module packet transfer.

The TSR II Split Bay configuration allows the upper and lower routers to perform independently. The Split Bay has system level redundant (shared between upper and lower router):

Each upper and lower router has redundant route controllers and redundant power connections.

TSR II Hardware Descriptions

This section provides brief descriptions of the TSR II system hardware components. The TSR II system supports insertion and removal of the components with the system power on (hot-swappable).

NOTE Series TSR II side panels are removed only to install power cables run from below the floor. The side panels must then be re-installed since they are also the fire wall for the bay. Additionally, TSR II side panels MUST remain in place for either a Single or Multi-bay installation.

TRS II Bay Components

The TSR II bay houses the route controller, router, bay controller, and cooling modules.

Figure 1-6 shows the TSR II Bay components.

Figure 1-6. TSR II Bay Components

Router Modules

The TSR II system supports router modules in combinations of module speeds in a single chassis backplane. Router modules interconnect to route controller modules through a 100BaseT Ethernet cable (RJ-45).

NOTE TSR II ships with 41 filler modules.

Route Controller Modules

The route controller module supports Non-Stop Routing (NSR), a routing functionality ensuring immediate redundancy in case of route controller failure. When two or more route controllers populate the a TSR II system, NSR is supported.

The three modes of redundancy are: NSR protection, warm protection, and no redundancy.

Each route controller provides a 867 Mhz XPC7455 PowerPC and 2 GB of SDRAM (see Figure 1-7).

Figure 1-7. Route Controller Faceplate

Pressing the lamp test button tests the operational status of all the LEDs on the route controller. LEDs on each of the seven Ethernet ports indicate the state and activity of each of the ports. Each route controller resides in a module enclosure together with a power conversion card and persistent file storage. LEDs on each of the seven Ethernet port indicates the state and activity of each of the ports.

For route controller and NSR software configuration details, refer to the IPriori CLI Reference (Vol. 1). When configuring the route controllers, keep in mind that the route controller configured with the lowest ID number will be the active or primary route controller.

Breaker Interface Panel (BIP)

The BIP is a panel assembly that distributes incoming power for the bay. It has two sets of redundant front-mounted circuit breaker sets "A" and "B." It has -48v monitoring capability and a central LCD display to monitor alarms. The BIP is located at the top of the TSR II chassis and is detachable from the bay to ease overhead clearance when moving the bay.

Cooling Assembly

The cooling assembly consists of two cooling modules (each cooling module has two fans) and two bay controllers (which are located under the cooling modules), which plug into the bay controller backplane.

Bay Controller Modules

The TSR II bay controller modules monitor the system temperature, power, cooling modules, and overall cooling, to ensure proper airflow around the system components in the bay. The bay controllers are Ethernet connected to the route controllers via the route controller connector panel located between shelves 2 and 3.

Installation Task Overview

The installation tasks in this section provide an overview of the TSR II system installation. These tasks should be performed by service personnel trained in network equipment installations.

Each TSR II system arrives on your receiving dock secured in a large wooden crate for the bay and a smaller padded box for the BIP.

The TSR II system ships to your site partially assembled with the cooling modules and filler modules already installed. The router, route controller, and bay controller modules are packaged separately and require installation after transporting and anchoring the system. As mentioned above, the BIP is also packaged and shipped separately and requires its own installation procedure (refer to Chapter 4 of this manual).

NOTE Do not install bay controller modules from an SSR into a TSR II, as the module length is different.

Prior to equipment installation, ensure that a site preparedness survey has been completed by a Sales/Customer Service representative and that your site meets all necessary requirements.

PROCEDURE: Use the following steps as an outline to the site installation procedure:

Step 1 Transport the TSR II system equipment to the prepared installation area.

Step 2 Identify the anchor requirements and drill anchor holes (and cut the floor tiles in a raised-floor environment).

Step 3 Remove components necessary to anchor the bay (EMI covers, front grille, front air plenum assembly, cooling modules, front vertical doors, and front lower cable guides). These steps are required to remove bay from the pallet.

Step 4 Position, align, and level the bay as required.

Step 5 Anchor the bay frame to the floor.

NOTE Anchoring a single bay configuration is different than anchoring a multi-bay configuration. Refer to the Terabit Switch Router Series II Install Guide (Multi-bay) for more information.

Step 6 Attach the safety ground connections to the bay frame.

Step 7 Reinstall any components previously removed to anchor the bay.

Step 8 Install the router, route controller, and bay controller modules.

Step 9 Connect source power to the BIP.

Step 10 Attach the safety guard plate to the rear of the BIP.

Step 11 Power the system on and run the automatic Power On Self-Tests (POST) and verify system hardware.

Step 12 After a successful POST, install the console cable from the console terminal to the console port on the bay controller module and configure the system. Refer to the IPriori Configuration Guides for details on how to configure the TSR II system route controller.
