Casa C10200 CMTS Hardware Installation Guide, Oct. 2009 1-1

Overview
The C10200 CMTS is a new class of cable edge device that combines a third generation
DOCSIS 3.0 CMTS and an MPEG video Edge-QAM in a very high density, and high
availability 12RU platform.
As a third generation CMTS, the C10200 has several unique capabilities beyond DOCSIS
3.0 features.
First, the C10200 supports complete separation of downstream channel capacity and
upstream channel capacity in a single physical chassis and thus provides flexible
downstream to upstream channel ratio. Cable operators can add downstream channels and
upstream channels completely independently within the same chassis. Business users
may require more symmetric downstream to upstream traffic ratio. Residential
broadband access has more asymmetric traffic patterns. For IPTV or video-over-IP
applications, significantly more downstream traffic is required than the upstream traffic
that is mostly for control plane applications.
Second, the C10200 has significantly higher channel density than a second generation
CMTS. The C10200 can support up to 352 downstream QAM channels in 12RU
(352DS+16US) while second generation CMTS typically has 1 or 2 downstream
channels in 1RU. The extremely high downstream channel density makes it economical
to provide video-over-IP service today.
Third, it can support both DOCSIS and MPEG/DVB traffic in a single platform. This
unique feature is very important for cable operators to manage their HFC spectral
resources in a single platform. It also allows the spectral resources to be shared
dynamically between MPEG video, DOCSIS business users and DOCSIS residential
users. For example, more bandwidth can be allocated to DOCSIS business traffic during
the day while more bandwidth can be allocated to MPEG/DVB video traffic at night to
efficiently utilize the spectral resource.
Fourth, The C10200 has the most extensive DOCSIS 3.0 features on the market today. It
offers the highest channel bonding capability in both downstream (up to 32) and
upstream (up to 16) on the market today. This bandwidth scalability from 150Mbps to
1.5Gbps per subscriber makes it essentially equivalent to PON in bandwidth capacity.
The revolutionary DOCSIS bandwidth capacity and cost per-bit of DOCSIS bandwidth of
the C10200 provides an unprecedented opportunity for cable operators to cost-effectively
provision high-bandwidth IP services such as IPTV or video-over-IP and interactive
gaming in addition to traditional broadband access and VoIP services. The integrated
MPEG video capacity of the C10200 provides cable operators the flexibility to offer
MPEG or DVB-based broadcast digital cable TV, video-on-demand (VOD), and
interactive services in the same platform. The flexibility, multi-functionality and
economics of the platform eliminate the need to deploy multiple parallel systems for
MPEG TV, IPTV bypass and DOCSIS broadband access.

Chassis
The C10200 chassis is installed in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The rack-mount kit
is shipped with your C10200 system.
The chassis is designed for front and rear access. DOCSIS line-card modules (DQM and
DCU), SMM modules, and the fan assembly module are accessed from the front of the
chassis, see Figure 1-1. The RF I/O interface modules (RFD and RFU), RF Switch
module (RFS), and the dual DC power entry modules are accessed from the rear of the
chassis, see Figure 1-2.

Slot Numbering
In the front of the chassis, the line-card slots are numbered from 0 to 13
counting from the left to the right. In the rear of the chassis, the RF I/O slots
are numbered from 0 to 13 counting from the right to the left.
Chassis Configuration
Following are the rules for chassis configuration:
SMM module uses line-card slot-6.
SMM redundant module uses line-card slot-7.

Line-card slots 0-5 and 8-13 can install any combinations of DQM and DCU modules
as desired.
The slot-0 to 13 on each side of chassis are correlated each other. Which means if a slot
in the front is installed with a DQM/DCU module, the associated slot in the rear must
install a RFD/RFU module.
Slot-5 and 8 are optional for DOCSIS module redundancy configuration. If a RFS (RF
I/O Switch) module is installed in either slot-5 or slot-8, the DOCSIS line card installed
in the associated slot then becomes a redundant DOCSIS module.
The minimum configuration is a SMM module, a pair of DQM/RFD modules, and a pair
of DCU/RFU modules, as well as a fan tray and a power entry module.
Modules
The following sections describe the modules used in the C10200. The modules and their
order numbers are listed in Table 1-3.

Fan Assembly Module

The fan assembly module (see Figure 1-3) contains three fans to supply cooling air to the
chassis. It connects to the chassis through a blind mate connector that plugs into a cable
assembly and then into the chassis backplane.

Three internal fans draw cooling air into the front of the chassis and direct it across the
internal components. The air is exhausted through openings in the rear of the chassis. The
fan assembly module works at two speeds, low and high.
The operating speed is determined by the temperature at the air outlet. If the temperature
at the fan's outlet reaches 40C, then the blower starts to increase speed.
Figure 1-3. Fan Assembly Module
DC Power Entry Modules

The C10200 ships with two DC power entry modules. The power modules receive 40.5
to -60 VDC (-48VDC nominal) power through separate power supplies. The two DC
power entry modules provide filtered, redundant, and load-shared DC power to the
C10200 chassis. If one module fails, the other one immediately begins providing the
required power to the system.
Although one power module can provide sufficient power for a fully configured chassis,
the system should not be run for an extended period time with only one power module. If
a power module fails, install a replacement module as soon as possible.
Figure 1-4 shows the DC power entry module. Table 1-4 describes the LEDs on the
faceplate of the power module.

Switch & Management Module
The SMM is a single-slot module used with the C10200. It performs Layer 3 packet
routing and forwarding as well as system management functionalities. It also provides
network interfaces thought its 12 GbE ports and network management access with the
built-in Fast Ethernet port and RSR-232 serial port. Figure 1-5 shows the SMM faceplate.
The SMM module supports redundant operation. If the primary SMM fails, the redundant
SMM automatically takes over operation of the system. The SMM module is hot-
swappable if there is a redundant SMM module in the chassis. The redundant SMM
module and the SMM module are physically identical.

F-type RF port
When connecting the F-connector on the cable to the RF connector on the downstream I/O port, always use
a torque wrench to set the tightness to 15 inch-lbs. Do not simply hand-tighten the F-connectors. F-
connectors that are too loose can cause RF leakage. F-connectors that are too tight can damage the RF
port electronics.

DOCSIS Control & Upstream Module
The DOCSIS Control & Upstream (DCU) Module is a complete DOCSIS upstream unit
that includes RF burst receiving, signal demodulation, DOCSIS upstream MAC, PHY, as
well as packet processing and QoS. Together with RF Upstream I/O (RFU) module, it
serves as the RF upstream interface between the cable headend and DOCSIS-based cable
modems.
The DCU is a single-slot module and supports 16 DOCSIS burst receivers. It is a hot-
swappable unit. Figure 1-8 shows the DCU faceplate.

RF Switch Module
The RF Switch Module (RFS) is designed to work with DOCSIS line-card module (either
DQM or DCU) to provide N+1 redundancy. If a DOCSIS line-card module fails, a
redundant DOCSIS line-card module automatically takes over operation and RFS will cut
off the connection between failed module and its associated RF I/O module, and establish
the traffic connection between the redundant and the RF I/O module.
RFS takes two slots in the rear of chassis, and can only be installed in either slot-5 & 6,
or slot-7 & 8. Figure 1-10 shows the RFS faceplate.

Safety Guidelines
This section provides general safety guidelines to prevent injury during equipment
installation and operation. It includes the following:
Electrical Equipment Guidelines
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Chassis Lifting Guidelines
Only trained and qualified personnel should install, replace, or service this equipment.
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the
equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate
electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is
available.
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during lightning activity.
Electrical Equipment Guidelines

Always unplug the power cable before installing or removing a chassis.
Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working. If an
electrical accident occurs, turn off the power immediately.
Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
- Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
- Turn off power to the system.
- If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the
condition of the victim and then call for help.
- Determine whether the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac
compressions; then take appropriate action.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, which occurs when electronic cards or
components are improperly handled, can result in complete or intermittent failures. The
SMM module, all DOCSIS line-card modules, and the RF switch module consist of a
printed circuit and must be handled properly to protect the modules from ESD. Use an

antistatic strap each time you handle the modules. Handle the modules by the edges only;
never touch the cards or connector pins.
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap and ensure that it makes good
skin contact. Before removing a module from the chassis, connect the equipment end
of the strap to a bare metal, unpainted surface on the chassis or mounting rack.
Handle line cards by the faceplates and edges only; avoid touching the card
components or any connector pins.
When removing a line card, place the removed module component-side-up on an
antistatic surface or in a static-shielding bag. If the module will be returned to the
factory, immediately place it in a static-shielding bag.
Avoid contact between the modules and clothing. The wrist strap protects the card
from ESD voltages on the body only; ESD voltages on clothing can still cause
damage.
Chassis Lifting Guidelines

The chassis is not intended to be moved frequently. A fully populated C10200 chassis
weighs approximately 120 pounds. A depopulated chassis weighs approximately 40
pounds.
Before you install the C10200, plan chassis placement and ensure that your site is
properly prepared so you can avoid having to move the chassis later to accommodate
power sources and network connections.
Whenever you lift the chassis, follow these guidelines:
Always disconnect all external cables before lifting or moving the chassis.
Ensure that your footing is solid, and balance the weight of the object between your
feet.
Lift the chassis slowly; never move suddenly or twist your body as you lift.
Keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back. If you must bend down
to lift the chassis, bend at the knees, not at the waist, to reduce the strain on your
lower back muscles.
Lift the chassis from the bottom; grasp the underside of the chassis exterior with both
hands.

Installing the C10200 in a Rack
The C10200 is designed for installation in a standard 19-inch mounting rack.
Caution must be exercised when rack-mounting this or any other type of equipment. Ensure
that all equipment is properly secured using the specified hardware. Equipment must be
installed in a safe manner to prevent overloading, tipping over, or other unsafe conditions.
Removing Fan Assembly, Power Entry, and Line Cards

The C10200 is shipped with all ordered components already installed in the chassis. Bare
chassis weights about 40 lbs. When fully loaded, the chassis weighs approximately 120
lbs.
Before installing the chassis to a mounting rack, you must first remove all components
from the chassis including power entry modules, fan assembly, as well as modules of
SMM, DQM, DCU, RFD, RFU, and RFS. Removing the modules allows the chassis to
be moved safely using two people. Reinstall the components after the chassis has been
installed.
Use the following procedures to remove these modules.
Removing DC Power Entry Modules

Step 1 Loosen the captive screws on each side of the power module.
Step 2 Pull the module straight out from the chassis, using the two handles on the
faceplate.
Step 3 Set the module aside.
Step 4 Repeat step 1 through step 3 to remove the second power module, and set it aside
as well.
Removing Fan Assembly Module

Step 1 Loosen the five captive screws on the faceplate of the fan assembly module.
Step 2 Pull the module straight out from the chassis, using two hands.
Removing Line-Card Modules (SMM, DQM, DCU, RFS)

Step 1 Loosen the captive screws on the top and bottom of the faceplate of line-card
module.
Step 2 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levels away from each other to disengage the
line card from the backplane.
Step 3 Slide the module out of the slot.
Step 4 Place the module in an antistatic bag.
Step 5 Repeat step 1 through step 4 to remove the other line-card modules.
Removing RF I/O Modules (RFD, RFU)

Step 1 Loosen the captive screws on the top and bottom of the faceplate of line-card
module.
Step 2 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levels away from each other to disengage the line
card from the backplane.
Step 5 Repeat step 1 through step 4 to remove the other line-card modules.

Mounting the Chassis in the Rack
With the fan assembly, power entry modules, and line cards removed from the chassis,
the C10200 chassis is ready for installation in a 19-inch equipment rack. Use the
following procedure to install the chassis.
When installing equipment, ensure adequate ventilation is available. Inadequate ventilation will result in
higher than normal operating temperatures and may result in degraded operation. Always ensure the system
receives sufficient airflow such that it will operate within the specified operating temperature range.
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to
ensure your safety.
This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top
Step 1 Verify that you have removed the fan assembly module, power modules, and line
cards before attempting to move the chassis.
Do not attempt to lift even a depopulated chassis by yourself. Have at least two people to lift the
chassis. Three people might be needed to position the chassis into a rack, depending on how high you
are mounting it.
Step 2 With each person standing on a side of the chassis, bend straight down at the knees,
and grab the bottom of the chassis.
To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.
Step 3 Lift the chassis up to the height that it will be positioned in the rack.
Step 4 Maneuver the chassis into position in the rack.
Step 5 Align the mounting bracket holes with the rack post holes and attach
the chassis to the rack with the appropriate-sized screws (performed
by the third person).
Step 6 Proceed to the next section, Connecting the Chassis to Ground.

Figure 2-1. Attaching the Chassis to the Equipment Rack

Connecting the Chassis to Ground
Connecting the C10200 chassis to earth ground is required for all installations.
The C10000 chassis provides a Shelf ground terminal at the left rear bottom side.
The Shelf ground terminal provides two M6 bolts to connect a double-lug Shelf
ground terminal cable. See Figure 2-2.

Figure 2-2. Location of the Ground Lug Connectors

Please note, that in a typical telecom environment, the RETURN (RTN) path of the -48 V
supply is grounded to Protective Earth (PE) of the building.
The importance of proper grounding cannot be overemphasized. It will

minimize the potential for damage to your system and maximize safety at the
system site.
Specification for the Chassis Ground connection cable:
Required wire size: AWG6
Required terminals: Use only double lug terminals with 45 angle tongue.
Example for terminal:

PANDUIT part no. LCD6-14AH-L, or Thomas&Betts part no. 54205UF
See catalogs at www.panduit.com and www.tnb.com.
Reinstalling Fan Assembly, Power Entry, and Line Cards
Following procedures describe how to reinstall all the components that were removed
from the chassis.
Reinstalling DC Power Entry Modules

Step 1 Using two hands to pick up the power entry module.
Step 2 Align the module with the slot in the chassis.
Step 3 Push the power entry module firmly into the chassis, making sure that the
module securely connects to the backplane.
Step 4 Tighten the captive screws on each side of the power module.
Step 5 Repeat step 1 through step 4 to install the second power module.

Reinstalling Fan Assembly Module
Step 1 Using two hands to pick up the fan assembly module.
Step 2 Align the module with the slot in the chassis.
Step 3 Push the power entry module firmly into the chassis, making sure that the
module securely connects to the backplane.
Step 4 Tighten the captive screws on each side of the fan assembly module.
Reinstalling Line-Card Modules (SMM, DQM, DCU, RFS)

Step 1 Grasp the faceplate of a line card with one hand and place the other hand under
the card (to support the weight of the card) and position the card in front of the
appropriate card slot.
Step 2 Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the line card with the upper and
lower guides in the chassis, and slide the line card into the slot until you can feel it
begin to seat in the backplane connectors.
Step 3 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel
to the faceplate) to firmly seat the card in the backplane.
Step 4 Finger tighten the captive screws to secure the card in the chassis.
Note: Do not tighten the captive screws until after you insert all the additional
cards. Tightening the captive screws before all the line cards are installed can
cause the installation slot for the last line card to be restricted and make it difficult
to install the card.
Step 5 Repeat step1 through step 4 for each line card.
Step 6 After all the line cards are inserted, tighten the captive screws.
Reinstalling RF I/O Modules (RFD, RFU)

Step 1 Grasp the faceplate of a card with one hand and place the other hand under the
card (to support the weight of the card) and position the card in front of the
Step 2 Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the card with the upper and lower
guides in the chassis, and slide the card into the slot until you can feel it begin to
seat in the backplane connectors.
Step 3 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel
to the faceplate) to firmly seat the card in the backplane.
Step 4 Finger tighten the captive screws to secure the card in the chassis.
Step 5 Repeat step1 through step 4 for each card.
Step 6 After all cards are inserted, tighten the captive screws.

Connecting the Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The network uplink connections are made through Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports on the
faceplate of the SMM module. The GbE ports support IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ab
specifications for 1000-Mbps transmission over fiber-optic cables as well as over
standard CAT5/CAT6 cables. These ports also support auto-sensing and auto-negotiation
of the proper transmission mode (half duplex or full duplex) with an attached device.
Cables connect to the GbE ports through SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) modules.
Before you connect the cables, you must install SFP modules.
Installing SFP Modules

Each Gigabit Ethernet port requires an SFP module (Figure 2-3). The following warnings
apply to fiber-optic SFPs.
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments.
Figure 2-3. Fiber-Optic SFP Module
To insert an SFP module into the SFP module slot:

Step 1 Put on an ESD-preventive wrist strap, grounding the strap to bare metal on the
rack or chassis.
You must be properly grounded before handling this ESD-sensitive product, otherwise you may damage the
product during routing handling.
Step 2 For optical SFP modules, find the transmit (TX) and the receive (RX) markings
that identify the topside of the SFP module.
Note: On some modules, the TX and RX markings might be replaced by
arrowheads. These point out of the module connector to signify the transmit
direction, and into the connector to indicate the receive direction.

Step 3 Aligning the back (receive) end of the module in front of SMM faceplate, insert
the module into the Gigabit Ethernet port until you feel the connector snap into
place.
Step 4 Remove the dust plugs from the optical ports, and store them for later use.
Connecting to the Gigabit Ethernet Cable

To connect to the Gigabit Ethernet Cable:
Step 1 Insert the Gigabit Ethernet cable into the front (transmit) end of the SFP module.
Step 2 Repeat above steps for the other Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Removing SFP Modules

To remove an SFP module:
Step 1 Remove the cable from the front end of the SFP module.
Step 2 To release the lock, pull the SFP module release lever down until it stops.
Step 3 Slide the module out of the receptacle.
Step 4 Replace the dust plugs on the optical ports for protection.

Connecting the Fast Ethernet Port to the Management System
The SMM module provides an Ethernet port to a LAN for a 10/100BASE-T (Fast
Ethernet) connection for network management. The Fast-Ethernet port has an RJ-45
connector that supports standard straight-through and crossover Category 5 UTP cable:
Use Category 5 UTP straight-through cables when connecting to a hub.
Use Category 5 UTP crossover cables when connecting directly to a PC or other
Ethernet device.
Note: The Casa C10200 does not come with Category 5 UTP RJ-45 cables. These cables
are available commercially.
To connect the Fast-Ethernet port to an Ethernet network in support of NMS (Network
Management System) service:
Step 1 Attach one end of the Category 5 UTP straight-through or crossover cable directly
to the Fast Ethernet port on the primary SMM.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the hub or other Ethernet device from which
you will run the web-based interface to control the C10200 system.

Connecting to the Console Port
The console port provides local administrative access to the C10200 and its command-
line interface (CLI). The console port is on the faceplate of SMM module with a RJ-45
connector. A console connection kit is shipped with each SMM module in your system,
which includes one standard Category 5 UTP RJ-45 cable, one RJ-45 to D-Sub 9 female
adaptor, and one console cable. Use them to connect the console port to a terminal. Note,
each SMM module must have a console port connection (typically to a terminal server)
when running a redundant configuration in the chassis.
Step 1 Connect one end of the RJ-45 crossover cable to the serial RJ-45 port on the
SMM module.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the crossover cable to the RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter (see
Figure 2-4).
Figure 2-4. Connecting an RJ-45-to-DB-9 Console Cable Adapter
Step 3 Connect the adapter to the appropriate serial port on the PC or terminal to
complete the console port cable connection.
Step 4 Power on the PC or terminal.
Step 5 Configure the PC terminal emulation software or the terminal for the following
default settings:
115200 baud
8 data bits
No parity generation or checking
1 stop bit
No flow control

Connecting to RF I/O Ports
To connect the RF I/O ports to the HFC network:
Step 1 Attach the 75-ohm F-connector on one end of the cable to the RF connector on
the faceplate of RF I/O module.
Step 2 Attach the other end of the cable to the equipment that acts as a gateway to the
HFC network, using the appropriate type of connector for your HFC distribution
equipment.
When connecting the F-connector on the cable to the RF connector on the RF I/O module, ALWAYS use a
torque wrench to set the tightness to 15 inch-lbs. Do not simply hand-tighten the F-connectors. F-
port electronics.

Connecting the DC Power
Please strictly follow the instructions in this document when connecting the DC power supply to
your C10200. Power supplies that do not meet the requirement or connections made under different
configuration other than the diagrams supported may cause circuit damage to your C10200.
General Caution:
The equipment is intended to be connected to a suitable SELV rated DC power source by a qualified
personal with adequately rated supply wire in accordance with local and national regulations.
The equipment may have multiple power supply connections and hazardous energy may be present; to
de-energize the unit, all connections must be removed from the power sources by the disconnection
devices or switches.
A suitably rated easily accessible double pole DC power disconnect device shall be incorporated if the
(+) lead of the power supply is not grounded. A single pole disconnect device on the hot (-) lead will
suffice if it is grounded. The devices On and Off positions shall be marked. A disconnect device shall
be used on each power source, if multiple power sources are used.
Each power source shall provide 4 separate feeds to each power entry module (each PEM has 4
terminals each for -48VDC and RETURN). Each feed shall be separately fused with no greater than a
30A fuse or breaker.
Equipments accessible non-current carrying conductive parts and outer conductor of the coaxial cable
receptacle shall be reliably connected to protective earth/ground.
Bare conductors of DC input power is not allowed to be accessed by the end user due to energy
hazard.
Power Supply:
1. Power supply must have floating outputs so that OUT (+) can be grounded.
2. Power supply that has only GND and OUT (+) cannot be used for C10200.
3. Power supply that has OUT (-) internally grounded cannot be used for C10200.
4. Power supply that has only +48v output pin and a ground pin can not be used.
5. For a power supply with only -48v output pin and a ground pin, the (-) terminal (-48v) on the power supply
connects to the -48 on C10200; the (+) terminal of the power supply connects to the (+) terminal (RTN) on
the C10200. See diagram in Figure 1-4.
6. The initial release of the C10200 operates using 48VDC power, and consumes less than 1600W. Casa
recommends a power supply rated to provide 48VDC at a minimum 1750W. Two power entry circuits
are provided for optional redundancy.
7. Two pluggable redundant Power Entry Modules (PEMs) are located at the rear
bottom side of the Shelf. Each PEM provides power terminals for four 30 A fused
power feeds.

The power filtering consisting of filtered power terminals and a discrete line-filter
for each power input.
The input voltage range for the Shelf is from -40.5 VDC to -60 VDC.
Each of the four redundant power feeds supplies power to a separate part of the
C10000 backplane. See Figure 2-5 . Therefore, each of the four must be wired in order to provide power to
the entire chassis.
8. The power supply wires to the unit should be a minimum of AWG 10 gauge wire. Use ring terminals
designed for M4 type or UNC 8-32 type screw. Maximum outside diameter for ring terminal is 9.2mm.
It is recommended that all equipment and racks be properly grounded to eliminate shock hazards and
prevent any unintended voltage offsets among devices.
Figure 2-5. Power Distribution of the Four Power Feeds within the Shelf

See page 2-8 for instructions on grounding the C10000 chassis.
Please note, that in a typical telecom environment, the RETURN (RTN) path of the -48 V
supply is grounded to Protective Earth (PE) of the building.

Wire the other Power Entry Module up to the secondary power supply in the same way (for redundant
power applications).
Always replace the PEM terminal block cover after connecting the power supply wires.

Starting the System
After installing the C10200 and connecting the required cables, perform a visual check of
all connections and then check that:
The ejector levers on each line card are in the locked position.
All top and bottom line card captive screws are tight.
All network interface cables are connected.
The console terminal is turned on.
You are now ready to power on the system for the first time using the following
procedure:
Step 1 Turn on the switch at the power supply that provides the DC power for the chassis.
Since there is no separate switch on the DC power module, when the switch on
the power supply is turned on, the power to the C10200 chassis is on. Listen for
the fans. You should immediately hear them operating.
Step 2 Verify all LEDs are lighting properly. The green power LED on the power
module faceplate should light up.
Step 3 During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The LEDs on the faceplates
of SMM module and line-card modules transition from off to yellow, then to
green. Refer to Table 1-3 for detailed information on the LED display.
The LNK LED on each module interface should light when initialization completes, and
the console screen should display a system banner followed by a system prompt:
......

CASA-C10200>
The first time you power on your C10200, the system software would automatically
upload default configuration that exists in the C10200. For complete system
configurations, please refer to the document of Casa CMTS Software Configuration
Guide.

Chapter
3. Maintaining the C10200
The C10200 is configured to your order and ready for installation when it arrives. After you
install the system, you may have to perform specific maintenance procedures to ensure the
system is operating properly. These procedures can include routine maintenance such as
upgrading system components, or replacing components with field replaceable units.
System components fall into two categories: hot-swappable components that do not require
you to power off the system before replacing them, and those components that do require you
to power off the system before you replace them. For example, all line cards are hot-
swappable and can be replaced without powering off the system, but you must power off the
system before replacing a single power entry module or a single performance SMM module.
This chapter explains how to perform basic maintenance for the C10200, which includes the
following sections:
Shutting Down the System
Removing and Replacing DOCSIS Line-card
Removing and Replacing SMM-Module
Removing and Replacing DC Power Entry Module
Removing and Replacing Fan Tray
Shutting Down the System
Although most components in the C10200 are hot-swappable, you may have to shut down
the system under certain circumstances. Use the following procedure to shut down the system.
Step 1 Notify appropriate personnel that you plan to shut down the system and that the
shutdown results in total loss of service. Appropriate personnel include the regional
alarm or network monitoring center, central office personnel, and key customers.
Step 2 Before you shut down the system, use the copy command (copy running-config
startup-config) to save any configuration changes to NVRAM. Refer to Casa
CMTS Software Configuration Guide for instructions.
Step 3 Power down the system by setting the power switch on power supplies to the OFF (0)
position.

Removing and Replacing DOCSIS Line Card
Use the following procedure to install a DOCIS line cards (DQM or DCU), or to remove or
replace an existing card in the C10200 chassis.
Remove the Line Card

To remove the card from the chassis complete the following steps:
Step 1 Make sure that you are properly grounded.
Step 2 Loosen the captive screws on the top and bottom of the faceplate of line-card module.
Step 3 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levels away from each other to disengage the line
card from the backplane.
Step 5 Place the module in an antistatic bag.
Always handle the module card by the faceplate and the edge of the card; never touch the cards components or
connect pins.
Step 6 If you are installing a new or replacement card, proceed to the next step. Otherwise,
install a blank cover over the slot and screw down its captive screws to conclude this
procedure.
Install the Linecard

To install the linecard on the chassis complete the following steps:
Step 2 Grasp the faceplate of a line card with one hand and place your other hand under the
card (to support the weight of the card) and position the card in front of the
Step 3 Carefully align the upper and lower edges of the linecard with the upper and lower

Step 2 Disconnect any interface cables from the SMM module.
Step 3 Unscrew the captive installation screws on the faceplate.
Step 4 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers away from each other to disengage the SMM
module from the backplane.
Step 5 Slide the SMM module out of the slot.
Always handle the module card by the faceplate and card edges; never touch the cards components or connect
pins.
Step 6 Place the module on an antistatic surface with its components facing upward.
Step 7 If the module is being return to the factory, immediately place it in a static shielding
bag and proper packaging for protection.
Install the SMM Module

To install the module on the chassis complete the following steps:
Step 2 Grasp the faceplate of the SMM module with one hand and place your other hand
under the card carrier (to support the weight of the module) and position the card in
front of the card cage slot. Use both hands to grasp the card by its edges and align the
card with the slot guides.
Step 3 Gently slide the card into the card slot until you can feel it seat in the backplane
connectors.
Step 4 Simultaneously pivot both ejector levers toward each other (until they are parallel to
the faceplate) to firmly seat the module in the backplane.
Step 5 Secure the module in the chassis by tightening the top and bottom captive screws.
Step 6 When fully inserted, the SMM module cycles through its power-on self-test. The Fail
LED stays on briefly (about 5 to 6 seconds) and then shuts off.
Step 7 Reconnect any interface cables to the SMM module if necessary.

DC Power Entry Replacement
The C10200 is shipped with two DC power entry modules that provide a redundant power
supply to the system. One DC power module can provide sufficient power for a fully
configured chassis, so that if one DC power module fails, the other automatically begins
providing power for the entire system. However, the system should not be run for an
extended period time with only one DC power module. If a DC power module fails, install a
replacement DC power module as soon as possible.
You do not need to shut down the C10200 to replace a redundant DC power module. And, if
you are replacing both DC power modules, you can replace one, bring it online, and then
replace the other one to avoid shutting down the entire system.
Removing and replacing a DC power entry module in a C10200 involves the following tasks:
Turning Off the Power Feeds
Removing the DC Power Entry Module Cover
Disconnecting Power Cables
Removing the DC Power Entry Module
Replacing the DC Power Entry Module
Reconnecting Power Cables
Replace DC Power Entry Module Cover
Turning On the Power Feeds
Turning Off the Power Feeds

Since there is no separate switch on the DC power entry module, when the switch on the
power supply is turned off, the power to the chassis is off.
Step 1 Turn off the switch at the power supply that provides the DC power for the power
entry module need to be replaced.
Step 2 Observe the following items:
The green LED on the power supply goes off.
The second power supply maintains full system power (the system continues to
operate as normal).
Step 3 Remove the PEM cover.
Step 4 Disconnect the wires from the receptacles of power supply and from power entry
module.
This completes the procedure for turning off the power supply.

Removing the DC Power Entry Module
Step 1 Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws on the faceplate
of the power entry module.
Step 2 Grasp the power-module handles and pull the module from the chassis.
This completes the procedure for removing the DC power entry module.

Step 1 Grasp the power-module handle with one hand and place the other hand underneath
the module for support.
Step 2 Align the power module to the power module bay.
Step 3 Slide the power module completely into the power module bay.
When inserting a power module into the chassis, do not use unnecessary force; slamming the power module into
the bay can damage the connectors on the rear of the module and on the backplane.
Step 4 Seat the power module in the chassis by tightening its captive screws with a number 2
Phillips screwdriver.
This completes the procedures for installing a power entry module in the chassis.
Reconnecting the Power Cables

Step 1 Screw each of the 4 (ring terminal terminated) power supply wires for RETURN and
-48VDC onto the PEMs terminals.
Step 2 Replace PEM cover.
This completes the procedures for reconnecting a power supply to the C10200.

Removing and Replacing the Fan Tray
The procedures for removing and replacing the fan tray involve the following tasks:
Removing the Fan Tray
Installing a New Fan Tray
Note: The fan tray supports online insertion and removal; there is no need to power down the
C10200 system to remove and replace the fan tray. However, the C10200 will shut down if
the fan tray is removed from the chassis for more than two minutes.
Removing the Fan Tray

Step 1 Loosen the captive installation screws that secure the fan tray to the chassis.
Step 2 Grasp the fan tray faceplate with both hands.
Step 3 Pull the fan tray backward toward you to disengage it from the power receptacle on
the backplane.
This completes the steps for removing the fan tray from the chassis.
Installing a New Fan Tray

Step 1 Guide the fan tray into the chassis making sure the power connector on the fan tray is
aligned with the receptacle on the backplane.
Step 2 Slide the fan tray completely into the fan tray bay.
