Overview
The 1-Port 10-GigE is a 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet, single-slot module. Faceplate LEDs indicate module, link, and activity status (see Figure 1). The mini-DB-9 connection on the faceplate allows the module to serve as a Server Attached Module (SAM).
NOTE The 1-Port 10-GigE module is a Family 2 module. Roman numerals on the faceplate label identify the module as a Family 2 module (see Figure 1).
The 1-Port 10-GigE module ships with a cable management bracket. Velcro fasteners on the cable management bracket allows for ease of dressing and organization of fiber cables. In addition, the 1-Port 10-GigE module ships with an Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) dust cover installed in the port.
NOTE The cable management bracket is intended for cable management purposes only.
As with all other router modules, proper installation procedure must be followed.

Optical Interfaces
This 1-Port 10-GigE module supports LR and ER optics compliant with IEEE 802.3ae. Refer to Table 1.
TSR Module Population Rules
Each TSR bay has four shelves numbered from 1 (top) to 4 (bottom). Each shelf has 10 slots to house the router and route controller modules (see Figure 2). All router modules must be inserted in family pairs.
The location of the routing modules within the bay creates the TSR system's "toroidal mesh." It is critical to install routing modules and route controller modules in predefined positions. All router modules must be inserted in family pairs.
Figure 2. TSR Bay Shelf and Slot Numbering
![]()
Populating the Bay
The rules for populating the first TSR Full Bay and TSR Split Bay with router module pairs follow. See Figure 2 for TSR bay slot number.
- Modules occupying a slot use the slot number as its identifier. In a multibay system, a module is identified by bay number/slot number; i.e., 1/10 would be bay 1, slot 10.
- Slots with red circles only accept modules with red circles. Slots with blue squares only accept modules with blue squares. Module color and shape identifiers are on the top of the modules and on the bottom of each shelf slots (see Figure 3 and Figure 4).
Figure 3. TSR Red Module Identification
![]()
Figure 4. TSR Blue Module Identification
![]()
- The 1-Port GigE module is a Family 2 module. Roman numerals on the faceplate label identify the module as a Family 2 module (see Figure 1).
- Router modules must be added in Family pairs. That is, you must install two Family 1 modules OR two Family 2 modules.
- If installing the module in a cold bay, follow the Population Rules outlined in the Terabit Switch Router Install Guide.
- If installing the router module in a live bay use the show population CLI command - specifying the module family - to identify the slot(s) to populate. Module color is represented in the CLI as R for red and B for blue.
Refer to IPriori CLI Reference and Configuration Guides (Vol. 1) for further information on this command. Online versions of the manuals are available at http://www.avici.com/documentation.
Preparing to Install Router Modules
Before removing or installing modules, remove the EMI front cover (if installed) as outlined in the TSR Install Guide.
Depending on the individual configuration of the TSR, either a router module or a filler module must be removed in order to install the 1-Port 10-GigE module. Refer to "Removing Router Module(s)" to remove a router module. Refer to "Removing Filler Modules" to remove a filler module.
In order to prevent damage to the TSR system from static electricity, use the following precautions:
- Do not handle modules unless you are using the appropriate antistatic protection, such as an antistatic wrist or heel strap and a conductive mat.
- When using an antistatic wrist strap, attach the cord to the appropriate ground jack.
- Handle modules by outer enclosure only. Do not touch electrical connections, pins, or soldered surfaces.
![]()
CAUTION (1) When handling modules, wear a grounded wrist strap or equivalent antistatic protection to prevent damage to electronic parts.
Installing the Antistatic Wrist Strap
A grounded antistatic wrist strap must be used to protect the TSR bay modules and components from damage caused by static.

LEDs
LEDs on the faceplate of the 1-Port 10-GigE module indicate the status of the module and the link and activity status of each of the ports (see Figure 23).
Board Status
The two top LEDs indicate "up" status of the board. During routing module POST, the red triangle shaped LED on the faceplate lights and remains lit until POST is completed. During the boot process, the green square LED blinks. Once the module has fully booted, the green square LED remains solid and the red LED is extinguished.
The solid green LED indicates that the module has passed POST.
If the red LED remains lit, POST has detected a nonrecoverable error or fault. If the red LED remains lit, remove and reseat the module to run POST again. Contact Customer Service if the module does not again pass POST.
Port Status
The port LED indicates port status. This LED consists of two LEDs: the left most LED (green or not lit) indicates port status and the right most LED (amber or not lit) indicates activity status.
When the link is up, the left most LED (L) will be solid green. If no light is present, the port is down. The right LED (A) indicates activity of the port. The right LED blinks amber when the link is actively passing traffic.
