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 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 10-GigE module module ships with a dust cap 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.

TSR II Module Population Rules

Each TSR II bay has four shelves numbered from 1 (top) to 4 (bottom). Each shelf has 11 slots to house the router and route controller modules. All router modules must be inserted in pairs. Route controllers are located on the right hand side of each bay shelf.

The location of the routing modules within the bay creates the TSR II 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 II Bay Shelf and Slot Numbering

Populating the Bay

The rules for populating the first TSR II Full Bay and TSR II Split Bay with router module pairs follow. See Figure 2 for TSR II bay slot number.

Figure 3. TSR II Red Module Identification

Refer to IPriori CLI Configuration Guide (Vol. 1) and the CLI Reference 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 II Install Guide.

Depending on the individual configuration of the TSR II, 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 II system from static electricity, use the following precautions:

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 II bay modules and components from damage caused by static.

PROCEDURE: Use the following procedure to install the antistatic wrist strap:

Step 1 Remove the alligator clip from the grounding pin on the antistatic wrist strap.

Step 2 Insert the grounding pin into the electrostatic discharge (ESD) jack on the front of the TSR II bay shelf (see Figure 4).

Step 3 Use the ESD jack while handling modules.

Figure 4. ESD Jack Locations

Removing Router Module(s)

Before removing a module you must shut down the module being replaced. Use the CLI shutdown command to disable all functions on the module. The module appears as "Admin-Down" when executing the show mod brief command.

Shutting Down the Modules

Using the shutdown command allows removal of the module without service interruption.

Example: Use the shutdown command to disable all functions on the module. The module appears as "Admin-Down" when executing the show mod brief command.

When the module is shutdown, proceed with removing the router module.

Routine router module removal requires the disconnecting of existing fiber optic cable connections. Router modules serving as Server Attached Modules (SAMs) require disconnecting fiber optic and SAM cable connections to the server module.

PROCEDURE: Use the following steps to remove the router module(s):

Step 1 Verify that your antistatic wrist strap is properly grounded.

Step 2 Undress the fiber optic cable from the cable management bracket.

Step 3 Disconnect the SC fiber optic connectors from the module (see Figure 5). Carefully undress the cable and move it to the side to avoid damage.

WARNING (1) This is a Class 1 laser product. Invisible laser radiation can be emitted from the aperture of the port when the fiber cable is disconnected. Avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not look directly into open apertures.

Replace dust cap(s) into each module port after disconnecting fiber optic connectors.

Step 4 Replace dust cap(s) into each module port after disconnecting fiber optic connectors.

Figure 5. Disconnecting SC Fiber Optic Connector

Step 5 If this module is not a SAM, proceed to Step 6. If this is a SAM module, disconnect the SAM connector (see Figure 6). Hang the SAM cable down and out of the way, or tuck the cable into the horizontal cable tray under the module shelf.

Figure 6. Router Module Faceplate

Step 6 Using the 3/8 in flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the captive screws in the cable management bracket and remove the bracket from the module (see Figure 7).

Step 9 Hold the module in place with one hand at the bottom of case, then close the ejector latches by rotating them to the closed position and slide the release levers in the direction of the arrows to lock the levers back into place (see Figure 10).

Figure 10. Router Module Removal - 3

CAUTION (3) A detailed inspection of the VHDM connector is required each time a module is removed or inserted. Lay the module gently on its side to perform a VHDM connector inspection.

Any contact to a VHDM connector outside a TSR II could damage the connector.

Step 10 Carefully inspect the VHDM connector for damage such as deformed sockets, holes between socket columns, and deformed guide fins on top and bottom of the socket columns (see Figure 11).

CAUTION (4) If the VHDM connector has any signs of damage, mark the module and the slot as damaged and call TSR-BY-AVICI to request an Return Material Authorization (RMA).

DO NOT insert a new router module into the slot. If the slot is damaged, only insert filler modules. Contact Support Services immediately.

Figure 11. VHDM Connector

Step 11 Before placing the module in a static-proof bag, replace the VHDM protective cap over the VHDM connector at the rear of the module. This will protect the pins while the module is not in the TSR II (see Figure 14).

Step 12 If this is an RMA, repackage according to RMA directions. Ship back to Avici.

CAUTION (5) If the empty slot is not populated with a module, it must be filled with a filler module within five minutes.

Removing Filler Modules

The TSR II systems ships with 38 filler modules, which ensures proper cooling and elimination of electromagnetic interference during operation. Remove filler modules from slots intended for router modules (see Figure 12 and Figure 13).

Figure 12. Filler Module

If you are removing a filler module from the TSR II, use the following procedure.

PROCEDURE: Use the following steps to remove a filler module:

Step 1 Use a 1/2 in. flat-blade screw driver to loosen the lock latch on the filler module.

Step 2 Pull the filler module out of the slot (see Figure 13).

Step 3 Store the filler module in a dry, cool area.

Step 11 Simultaneously depress the release levers on the top and bottom ejector latches and rotate the ejector latch to the closed position (see Figure 20 and Figure 21). Release the release levers once the ejector latches are closed.

NOTE If the ejector latches will not close, reseat the module by pulling it six inches out of the slot and then repeating Step 7 through Step 11, making sure the module is not inserted too far into the slot. If the ejector latches still do not close after reseating the module, contact Avici Customer Support.

Figure 21. Router Module Installation - 6

LEDs

LEDs on the faceplate of the 1-Port 10-Gigabit module indicate the status of the module and the link and activity status of each of the ports (see Figure 22).

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. If the module does not pass POST, contact Customer Service.

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.

Figure 22. 1-Port 10-Gigabit Module LEDs

Installing the Cable Management Bracket

After module installation, install the cable management bracket. Receptive screw holes in the module faceplate accept the captive screws of the cable management bracket. Velcro fasteners in the cable management bracket allow easy dressing and organization of fiber optic cables.

CAUTION (8) The cable management bracket is for cable management purposes only. The cable management bracket must be removed prior to removing the 1-Port module. DO NOT use the cable management bracket to lift or carry the 1-Port 10-Gigabit module. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in equipment damage.

Step 2 Use the configure terminal command to enter configuration command mode.

Step 3 Use the interface command with the gbe key word and bay/slot/port location to enter interface configuration command mode.

Step 4 Optionally, modify the default settings.

Step 5 Optionally, configure a description for the interface using the description command.

Step 6 Configure the local address using the ip address command.

Step 7 Use the no shutdown command to activate the interface.

Step 8 Use the show interface command to display and verify the new interface configuration.

The interface Command

The interface command defines an interface gbe bay/slot/port

gbe

Configures the interface to support Gigabit Ethernet connections.

bay/slot/port

Identifies a specific interface on the TSR II. Valid values are as follows:

bay: Bay number. Valid values 1 -4.
slot: Slot number where the module is installed in the TSR II. Valid values are integers between 1 and 40.

port: Valid value is 1.

Description: The interface gbe command defines a Gigabit Ethernet interface and enters the interface configuration mode. The interface is not usable as a routing interface until you use the ip address and no shutdown commands.

To configure a gbe interface:

Use the interface gbe bay/slot/port syntax to configure a Gigabit Ethernet interface.

Default: No interfaces configured.

Field Description

line protocol up/down

Indicates the operational status of the interface.

Internet address is

IP address and netmask of the interface.

Broadcast address is

The address for all hosts on a network.

Ethernet address is

The Ethernet address for this interface.

MTU bytes

The Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) size for this interface.

Bandwidth

Available bandwidth of this interface.

Time output buckets

Monitors rate of in and out bits per second/minute and packets per second/minute, and percentage of line rate utilized.

Encapsulation

The protocol enabled on this interface.

Frame type for ARP is

The frame type used for the Address Resolution Protocol.

Frame type for IP is
