Overview

The MSC Module supports Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) services. At present, there are two variations of the MSC module:

Labels on the MSC module faceplate label identify the module ID, the interface type, and the family type (see Figure 1). In addition, labels on the MSC modules indicate port numbering (see Figure 2).

In addition, faceplate LEDs indicate module, link, and activity status of the module and each of the ports. The Ethernet port connection on the faceplate allows the module to serve as a Server Attached Module (SAM).

NOTE The 8-Port OC-12, the 16-Port OC-3, and the 8-Port OC-3|4Port OC-12 MSC modules are all Family 2 modules. Roman numerals on the faceplate label identify the module as a Family 2 module (see Figure 1)

Router modules must be installed in family pairs.That is, you must install two Family 1 or two Family 2 modules.

All MSC modules ship with a cable management bracket with Velcro fasteners on the cable management bracket for easy organization of fiber cables. In addition, the module ships with dust covers installed in each of the ports.

For instructional purposes, only images of the 8-Port OC-12 module are used throughout this document to demonstrate the installation procedures for MSC module types.

NOTE The cable management bracket is for cable management purposes only. You must remove the cable management bracket prior to removing the module.

As with all other router modules, proper installation procedure must be followed.

QSR Module Population Rules

Each QSR chassis provides a single chassis with 10 slots to house route controller and router modules. The chassis accepts one or two route controller modules and up to eight router modules. Route controller modules can only reside in slots 10 and 1 (S10 and S1). In a QSR chassis with only one route controller module, install the route controller module in S10 and a filler or fabric filler module in S1.

Figure 3 shows QSR chassis slot numbering when viewed from the front of the QSR.

The software command show population designates router module population sequence. Use this command to determine where to install the router module in the chassis.

Figure 3. QSR Chassis Slot Numbering

Rules for populating a single QSR chassis are as follows:

If a QSR contains a single route controller module in slot 10 and eight router modules in slots 2 through 8. Slot 1 must contain a fabric filler module.

Fabric filler modules ensure multiple communications routes between installed modules.

NOTE Fabric filler modules differ from standard filler modules.

Figure 4. QSR Red Module and Slot Identification
The MSC module is a Family 2 type module. Roman numerals on the faceplate label identify the module as a Family 2 module (see Figure 1).If mixing router module families, keep modules from the same family together on one side of the modules in slots 5 and 6. Put modules from the other family on the other side.

For example, you install a Family 2 router module in slot 7. Put only Family 2 router modules to the right of slot 7. Put Family 1 router modules to the left of slot 5.

NOTE If you install a Family 2 router module in slot 4, put only Family 2 modules to the left of slot 4. Put Family 1 modules to the right of slot 6.

Figure 5 illustrates slot population with modules from both families. Slots 5 and 6 in this illustration can contain Family 1 modules, Family 2 modules, or a Family 1 module in slot 5 and a Family 2 module in slot 6.

Figure 5. Installing Modules from Different Families
If the router modules in slots 5 and 6 are from different families:

  • Put modules from the same family as the module installed in slot 5 to the left of slot 5.

  • Put modules from the same family as the module installed in slot 6 to the right of slot 6.

  • If installing the module in a cold chassis, follow the Population Rules outlined in the Quarter-rack Scalable Router Install Guide.

Refer to IPriori CLI Reference and Configuration Guides (Volume(s) 1) for further information on this command. Online versions are available at http://www.avici.com/documentation.

Preparing to Install Router Modules

Depending on the individual configuration of the QSR, either a router module, a filler module, or a fabric filler module must be removed in order to install the MSC module. Refer to "Removing Router Module(s)" to remove a router module, "Removing Filler Modules" to remove a filler module, and "Removing Fabric Filler Modules" to remove a fabric filler module.

In order to prevent damage to the QSR system from static electricity, use the following precautions:

CAUTION (1) When handling router 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 QSR chassis 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 QSR chassis shelf (see Figure 6).

Step 3 Always use an ESD wrist strap while handling modules.

Figure 6. QSR ESD Jack Location (Front)

Removing Router Module(s)

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

Shutting Down the Module

To notify the system to shutdown a module, use the CLI command line to turn off the respective slot. Using the shutdown command allows the removal of the module without service interruption.

Example: Use the shutdown command to disable all functions on the module. The module appears as administratively down when executing the show mod brief command.

router(config)#module 1/2

router(config)#shutdown

This command will disable module 1/2.

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 Ethernet cable connections to the server module.

CAUTION (2) Within five minutes of removal of a module, a replacement module or filler module must be installed in the empty slot to ensure proper air flow within the system.

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 LC fiber optic connectors from the module (see Figure 7). 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 caps into module ports after disconnecting fiber optic connectors.

Figure 7. Disconnecting LC Fiber Optic Connector

Step 4 Replace dust caps into each of the module ports after disconnecting fiber optic connectors.

Step 5 If this is SAM module, disconnect the Ethernet connector (see Figure 8). If it is not, proceed to Step 6. Hang the Ethernet cable down and out of the way, or tuck the cable into the horizontal cable tray under the module shelf.

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 25 and Figure 26). 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 26. Router Module Insertion - 6

LEDs

The MSC module supports LEDs on the faceplate to indicate the status of the module and the link and activity status of each of the ports (see Figure 27).

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. After completion of POST, the green square LED lights and blinks and the red LED is extinguished. The green LED remains in the blinking state until the module is enabled, at which time the LED transitions to solid.

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.

Port Status

The eight (two per port) bottom bi-color LEDs, indicate port status. These bottom LEDs consist of two pairs of LEDs: the left most LED (green or not lit) indicates port status and the right most LED (amber or not lit) indicates activity status, one set per port.

The right LED (A) indicates activity of the port. The right LED blinks amber when the link is actively passing traffic.

Figure 27. MSC Module LEDs

Installing the Cable Management Bracket

After installing the module, 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.

NOTE The cable management bracket is intended for cable management purposes only. The cable management bracket must be removed prior to removing the module.

Figure 28. Cable Management Bracket Installation

PROCEDURE: Use the following procedure to install the cable management bracket to the module:

Step 1 Remove the cable management bracket from its package.

Step 2 Position the cable management bracket as shown in Figure 28.

Step 3 Using a 3/8 in flat-head screwdriver, attach the bracket to the module faceplate by tightening the captive screws (see Figure 28).

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

Installing Fiber Optic Cables

The installation of fiber optic cables in the MSC module follows the usual procedure for fiber optic installation. If connecting all 8 ports, remove the dust cap and install the fiber optic cables in one port at a time. Dust caps should only be removed immediately prior to fiber optic cable installation. Clean all fiber optic connectors according to manufacturer's instructions.

CAUTION (11) Fiber optic cables must be thoroughly cleaned each time a cable is connected or reconnected. Failure to do so may impact performance to the fiber optic cable.

WARNING (2) 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.

PROCEDURE: Use the following steps to install the fiber optic cables in the MSC module:

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

Step 2 Remove the dust cap from the port slot where installing the fiber optic cable (see Figure 29).

Figure 29. Removal of Dust Cap

Step 3 Remove cap from fiber optic cable connector and insert LC connector into the port slot (see Figure 30).

Figure 30. Installation of Fiber Optic Connector/Cable

NOTE If installing fiber optic cables into all 8 ports at once, begin at the bottom port (No. 8) and move upward to for ease of fiber management.

Step 4 Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for each fiber optic connection.

Step 5 Use the Velcro fasteners on the cable management bracket to dress the fiber optic cables (see Figure 31).
