Procedure 6-29: Replace 10G Muxponder circuit pack
Overview
Use this procedure to replace an LNW705 XM10G/8 10G Muxponder circuit pack.
Required equipment
Use only Alcatel-Lucent Approved Class 1 XFP and SFP transceivers. Refer to the list of pluggable transmission modules in Procedure 6-8: Replace pluggable transmission module.
Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer (DMX) Installation Manual, 365-372-304, as required, when removing and/or installing pluggable transmission modules.
Before you begin
Prior to performing this procedure:
-
Refer to Required equipment in this chapter.
-
Refer to Laser safety and Electrostatic discharge information in Chapter 1, Safety.
-
Ensure that the appropriate circuit pack/pluggable transmission modules are available for replacement.
Steps
Complete the following steps to replace an XM10G/8 circuit pack.
1 |
Remove the cables from the circuit pack. |
2 |
Remove the pluggable transmission modules from the circuit pack. Reference: Procedure 6-8: Replace pluggable transmission module |
3 |
Remove the required circuit pack by grasping the inner edge of the locking-levers, and applying a constant pressure, pull the levers forward and remove the circuit pack. |
4 |
Ensure that all optical fiber connectors and couplings are properly cleaned on the replacement circuit pack. Important! Signal performance may be degraded if the connections and couplings are not cleaned properly. Reference: Procedure 6-11: Clean optical fibers, dual LC adapters and LC lightguide buildouts (LBOs) |
5 |
Important! Pluggable transmission modules are shipped with a dust cover installed into the optical ports to maintain cleanliness during storage and/or transportation. It is recommended that the dust cover be kept in place to maintain cleanliness until the optical fiber is connected. With proper care and handling, cleaning the pluggable transmission modules should not be necessary. Clean the optical pluggable transmission modules. Reference: Procedure 6-12: Clean optical pluggable transmission module |
6 |
Seat the replacement circuit pack in vacated Function Unit slot. Result: FAULT LED on the circuit pack lights. After approximately 60 seconds, the ACTIVE LED lights and the FAULT LED may go off. (Firmware updates may take place that add additional wait time.) Select View → Refresh System View and the circuit pack appears in the WaveStar® CIT System View indicating successful installation. If both the original circuit pack and the replacement circuit pack fail when no other transmission circuit packs are installed in the shelf, replace the SYSCTL circuit pack. Refer to Procedure 6-10: Upgrade or replace SYSCTL (LNW2) circuit pack. |
7 |
Install the pluggable transmission modules. Reference: Procedure 6-8: Replace pluggable transmission module |
8 |
Reconnect the cables. Result: The circuit pack FAULT LED or port LED associated with the pluggable transmission module stops flashing. |
9 |
Ensure that a 177D apparatus blank or an LNW98 Detectable apparatus blank is present in the unequipped companion Function Unit slot. |
10 |
From the System View menu, click the Alarm List button to obtain an NE Alarm List. Verify that no alarms are present for the installed circuit pack. If required, refer to the appropriate procedure to clear any alarms. |
11 |
From the System View menu, use View → Equipment to access the circuit pack/port parameters for the circuit pack just installed and verify that the parameters are intact. If required, refer to the appropriate procedure in the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 Data Multiplexer (DMX) User Operations Guide, 365-372-301 to change any circuit pack/port parameters. End of steps |
