2 Prepare power, alarm, management, and transmission Before You Start and Equipment
cables at the installation site. Installation
3 Route the required power, alarm, management, and Equipment Installation

transmission cables to the intended NPT-1030 equipment
location.
4 If required, install the equipment racks. Equipment Installation
5  Mark the location of each NPT-1030 platform, relevant Equipment Installation

accessories (Fiber Storage Tray [FST], Optical
Distribution Frame [ODF], Digital Distribution Frame
[DDF], and MCP30B Interconnection Panel
[ICP_MCP30]) on each rack, in accordance with the site
installation plan.
Notes:
 For NPT-1030-only installation, it is recommended you
leave at least 4 U of space above the platform to enable
future installation of the EXT-2U.
 The NPT-1030 can only support balanced E1 interfaces
directly. For unbalanced E1s, the xDDF-21 patch panel
must be configured, which provides conversion between
balanced and unbalanced E1s for 21 x E1s.
 When auxiliary interfaces like RS-232, orderwire (OW),
or V.11 are used in your application, the ICP_MCP30
should be installed in order to distribute the
concentrated Auxiliary connector into dedicated
connectors for each function.

3.2.3 Power Sources

NPT-1030 platforms can be powered by DC sources complying with the applicable sections of ETSI 300
132-2 and the SELV or TNV requirements of EN 60950. The nominal supply voltage is -48 VDC (positive-lead
grounded). However, the allowed supply voltage range is -40.5 VDC to -60 VDC. Two separate DC power
sources must be available for redundancy. In the DC power supply, the maximum power consumption of
the NPT-1030 is 55 W.
For AC power supply, configure an external AC/DC converter.
NOTE: If the planned power consumption of the equipment installed in the platform is 80% or
more of the maximum listed value, it is recommended to consult ECI Customer Support.
3.2.4 Tools and Test Equipment

No special-purpose tools beyond a standard technician’s toolbox are required for the installation of
NPT-1030 platforms.
Traffic cables can be prepared on site, so make sure suitable tool kits are available. They include tools for
the assembly of coaxial cables as listed in the following table, and tools for the preparation of optical patch
cords.

3.2.5 Cleaning Optical Connectors

When handling optical fibers, clean the optical connectors with the standard cleaning kits recommended by
the manufacturers.
3.3 Installing the NPT-1030 in Racks

The following sections describe options for installing the NPT-1030 in racks with corresponding ancillary
equipment.
3.3.1 Installation Plan

Follow these guidelines for installing NPT-1030 platforms and ancillary equipment in racks.
We recommend installation in ECI ETSI racks, which provide the following advantages:
 Removable rear and side panels, enabling tidy leading and efficient maintenance of all rack cables,
including:
 PCM/E1/E3/DS-3/STM-1e cables
 Control cables
 Power cables
 Data cables
 Voice frequency cables
 Timing cables
 Two ducts on the rack’s front rails for routing up to 200 optical fibers
 Open frame top and bottom, facilitating easy leading of cables from suspension floors and/or ceiling
ladders
 Front door mountable for left or right opening
NPT-1030 equipment racks can be installed on wooden, concrete, or floating floors, or suspended from
overhead mountings.
3.3.2 Typical NPT-1030 Installation

See the figure Typical installation of a single NPT-1030 platform in a 2200 ETSI rack for a typical installation
in an ECI rack.
In addition to the NPT-1030 platform, you can also install the following equipment in the rack:

 One RAP at the top of the rack to connect external power and alarm monitoring lines (RAP-4B only) to
the NPT-1030 platforms in the rack. The RAP fully supports up to four platforms with dual power
feeding. In addition to the space needed for RAP installation, you must leave at least 50 mm of free
space under the RAP for cable routing.
NOTE: The RAP-BG does not support alarm monitoring lines.
 One FST for each NPT-1030 with optical modules. Each FST contains two storage reels, enabling the
fiber to be stored on the right or left side of the tray. Leave at least 50 mm of free space between the
NPT-1030 platform and its FST, and another 50 mm free between the FST and the next NPT-1030
platform.
 xDDF-21. When unbalanced E1 interfaces are needed, the xDDF-21 must be installed with the
NPT-1030. Each xDDF-21 can support 21 channels of E1. The xDDF-21 can be installed anywhere on
the same rack as the NPT-1030 platform or on another rack.
 ICP_MCP30. When an RS-232 or V.11 interface from the MCP30 is used, the ICP_MPC30 must be
installed to distribute the concentrated Auxiliary connector into dedicated connectors for each
function. The ICP_MCP30 can be installed anywhere on the same rack as the NPT-1030 platform.
3.3.3 Integrating NPT-1030 Platforms and Other Equipment

in One Rack
When NPT-1030 platforms and associated accessories do not occupy the entire rack, additional equipment
can be installed in the remaining rack space. Make sure that any heat generated by this equipment can be
dissipated efficiently, and that thermal isolation is provided between the various equipment units.
In the event of additional equipment being installed in the rack, contact ECI’s Customer Support team for
assistance.

Figure 3-1: Typical installation of four NPT-1030 platforms in an ETSI 2200 rack
3.4 Preparing Cables and Fibers

NOTE: This section provides information for preparing cables and optical fibers. The necessary
cables can be ordered from ECI. For details, contact ECI’s Customer Support team or your ECI
sales representative.

Before you start:

The following main types of cables are required for installing the NPT-1030:
 Grounding cables
 DC power cables (RAP Input Power Cables and Platform Power Cables )
 Alarm cables
 Management cables
 Timing (clock) cables
 Optical fibers
 Electric traffic cables
Some of these cables are supplied as part of the NPT-1030 equipment, while others must be prepared on
site or ordered separately from ECI.
In the following sections, you will find information about the cables, and how to prepare them on site,
where relevant. For details about the equipment connector types and cable wiring, see Connection Data.
WARNING: When preparing cables, in particular power and grounding cables, use only
UL-listed components of the specified types. Components must also comply with any
applicable national and local safety codes and regulations.
Only qualified trained personnel may be involved in the preparation of the various cable
types. Personnel must use only approved procedures, in accordance with the applicable
workmanship practice.
3.4.1 Grounding Cables

Platform grounding is achieved by connecting the platform to the rack using rack mounting brackets.
Grounding is provided by contact when the unit is fastened to the rack.
A reliable low-impedance connection must be provided using copper conductors between the rack frame
and the site grounding bus.
Make the connection between the rack grounding screw and the site grounding bus with a 2 AWG (35 mm2)
or thicker copper lead with yellow/green insulation, in compliance with UL/ETSI recommendations.
Route grounding conductors along the shortest possible route. Treat the bare portion of the conductor with
antioxidant and connect a listed two-hole compression lug. If the lug is not plated, polish it until it has a
bright finish and coat it with antioxidant before connecting it to the frame of the rack. Do not mix different
types of metal conductors.
3.4.2 DC Power Cables

DC power cables must be prepared on site. Two types of DC power cables are needed:
 RAP input power cables
 Platform power cables

ECI recommends the use of shielded power cables for DC power connections, with the shields connected to
the frame ground at the rack end only.
3.4.2.1 RAP Input Power Cables

The RAP input power cables are prepared on site. They connect input power from the site power
distribution subsystem to the DC input terminals of the RAP.
Two input power cables are required for each rack, one for each source. The cables must use copper leads
complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. Use a red lead for the positive conductor and a black lead for
the negative conductor. The RAP cable ends must be terminated in M6 cable lugs matching the conductor
gauge.
The recommended cable gauge is 25 mm² or thicker. This gauge ensures that the voltage drop across the
rack power cable does not exceed 2 V, even for cable runs of maximum 30 meters connected to a RAP and
providing power to multiple NPT-1030 platforms.
When the RAP is used to provide power to a single NPT-1030 platform, lower-lead gauges may be used, as
follows:
 For runs not exceeding 20 meters, use 10 mm2 copper leads.
 For runs not exceeding 30 meters, use 16 mm2 copper leads.
3.4.2.2 Platform Power Cables

One 12 AWG cable, supplied by ECI, connects the input power from the rack RAP unit to the POWER IN
connector on each INF_B1U or INF_30BH module of each NPT-1030 platform installed in the rack.
3.4.3 Alarm Cables

Alarm cables used within NPT-1030 equipment are included in the shipment according to site
specifications.
The alarm indications are carried by the platform alarm indication cable. One platform alarm indication
cable is required for each NPT-1030 platform installed in the rack. There are two types of alarm cable. If the
ICP_MCP30 is not installed, an alarm cable connects between the Auxiliary connector on the MCP30B and
one of the Alarms connectors on the RAP (RAP-4B only). If the ICP_MCP30 is installed, another alarm cable
connects between the Alarms connector on the ICP_MCP30 and one of the Alarms connectors on the RAP
(RAP-4B only). Cable length is 2 m.
NOTE: There are no Alarms connectors on the RAP-BG.

3.4.4 Management Cables

Out-of-band management traffic is connected to a NPT-1030 platform via the RJ-45 (MNG) connector
located on the front panel of the MCP30B.
The MNG Ethernet connector is wired as a 10BaseT station port for direct connection through an
RJ-45-to-RJ-45 straight cable to a port of a 10BaseT Ethernet hub.
Suitable standard Ethernet station cables are available from many sources. Cables of Category 5 or better
must be used. In all cases, the length of the cables must not exceed the maximum recommended for the
cable type and hub port in use (up to a few dozen meters).
3.4.5 Timing (Clock) Cables

The NPT-1030 platform uses an RJ-45 connector on the MCP30B front panel that integrates the two timing
reference interfaces (2 x T3 and 2 x T4). If it has balanced (120 Ω) G.703 interfaces, a multi twisted-pair
cable with an RJ-45 connector (supplied by ECI) is used to connect timing signals from the NPT-1030 to the
site timing reference distribution subsystems.
If the site timing reference distribution subsystem has unbalanced (75 Ω) G.703 interfaces, configure an
adapter with coaxial cables that provides balanced-to-unbalanced conversion (supplied by ECI).
3.4.6 Electric Traffic Cables

Some electric traffic cables can be prepared on site. The following table lists the type of cables and mating
connectors needed for each NPT-1030 traffic interface type.

3.4.7 Optical Fibers

Optical fibers can be prepared on site. The following table lists the type of cables and mating connectors
needed to prepare cables for each NPT-1030 module.
For each optical interface, ECI supplies patch cords with mating optical connectors already attached to the
fiber. Therefore, only the optical termination on the ODF side, which is installation-dependent, must be
installed on site.
The optical fibers for connecting to equipment installed in a given rack must enter the rack from the top, be
threaded through cable guides running along the rack side rails, and end at the FST. The FST must contain
enough fiber length for extracting modules from the NPT-1030 and for replacing fiber in case of damage
(splicing repairs).
When routing fibers, make sure to observe the minimum bending radius (35 mm).

3.5 Work and Equipment Safety

NOTE: NPT-1030 equipment is intended for installation in restricted-access areas only.
NPT-1030 platforms contain power sources of varying voltages. Note the following guidelines when
installing the platforms:
Before you start:

 Ensure the integrity of the grounding connections.
 Make sure that sufficient lighting is available.
 Do not work on any equipment connected to a voltage source (DC or AC).
 Ensure that the maximum working temperature does not exceed 70°C.
 Use only insulated tools.
 Wear protective clothing as required by the requisite safety regulations.
13
Fibers are required when DMGE_1_L1 is working in SFP mode. Multimode fiber for 1000BaseSX, and single mode fiber for 1000BaseLX/ZX.
14
Fibers are required when DMGE_4_L1/DMGE_2_L2 interfaces are working in 1000BaseFX mode. The fiber type must be multimode.

 Do not install or maintain equipment connected to external lines (for example, E1 tributaries) during
thunderstorms.
 Avoid contact with high-voltage sources when installing platforms, cards, and modules.
 Make sure you are familiar with the warning signals and labels on the equipment and strictly observe
the procedures needed to avoid the indicated hazards.
3.5.1 Grounding Requirements

All the equipment, including NPT-1030 platforms, ancillary units, and equipment from other vendors, must
be properly grounded at all times. Good equipment grounding is necessary to protect personnel and
equipment, minimize noise, and allow the discharge of accumulated static charges to earth.
3.5.1.1 Rack Grounding Requirements

Connect the rack to the site grounding bar with a ground cable according to ETSI recommendations
(top/bottom connection).
The rack is supplied with a main copper or brass grounding bolt welded to the rack frame. The grounding
stud is identified on the rack by the ground symbol label.
The rack grounding bolt must be connected to the site grounding bar by a 35 mm2 (2 AWG) grounding cable
or thicker, as short as possible, complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. The bolt must be free of paint.
The cable must be made of copper strands and terminated on both sides with bolt terminals.
NOTE: If necessary, the gauge of the grounding lead can also be reduced to the gauge of the
RAP power leads.
The rack mounting rails must be free of paint and provide electrical continuity to the main grounding bolt.
The resistance between any rail and the rack main grounding bolt must be less than 0.1 Ω.
Pay particular attention to the area in which the RAP is attached. Remove paint from the rack in this area to
ensure efficient electrical contact.
CAUTION: Connect the RAP grounding bolt to the rack grounding bolt with a grounding cable
complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. The cable must include bolt terminals on both
ends and be securely fastened with a nut and a star washer.
3.5.2 DC Power Supply Requirements

The NPT-1030 and EXT-2U platforms require two power sources with a nominal voltage of -48 VDC. Each
power source is protected by a UL-listed circuit breaker installed in the RAP. The required circuit breakers
are included in the installation parts kit supplied with the equipment, and therefore, their current rating is
in accordance with the order.
The site operator must provide a readily accessible UL-listed disconnect device incorporated in the fixed
power wiring of the site. This device limits the maximum delivered current to a safe value.

3.5.3 AC Power Supply Requirements

ECI offers the AC_PS-B1U AC/DC converter module for customers who require to power the NPT-1030 from
an AC power source. The AC_PS-B1U plugs directly into the NPT-1030 in the PSA and PSB slots (that is
regularly used to install two INFs when the platform is powered by DC) and provides up to 180 W.
When an extension platform, EXT-2U is also required to be fed from AC, the AC_PS-E2U module can be
used. The module plugs into the EXT-2U and provides up to 180 W.
The following table lists the recommended AC source circuit breakers for feeding the AC/DC convert units.

3.5.4 Laser Safety Requirements

This section describes the laser safety requirements.
3.5.4.1 Laser Classification

The equipment and components with laser devices described in this manual comply with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards, including IEC-60825-1 - Safety of Laser Products
(AS/NZS 2211.2) and IEC-825 – Safety of Optical Fiber Communication Systems.
With specific regard to the laser, NPT-1030 equipment complies with laser product performance standards
set by government agencies for Class 1 laser products. The product and its accessories do not emit
hazardous light, and the beam is totally enclosed during all operating modes and maintenance.
LASER WARNING: When the NPT-1030 operates in conjunction with OM_BA or OM_ILA
optical amplifiers (installed in the EXT-2U) the NPT-1030's Laser classifications changes to
Hazard Class 1M Laser Product.

3.5.4.2 Warning Labels for Laser Products

The following labels are affixed to the platform front panel. The labels indicate that the product is classified
as a Class 1 Laser Product.
Figure 3-2: Laser warning label
LASER WARNING: The NPT-1030 is classified as a Class 1 Laser Product.
LASER ATTENTION: APPAREIL ’A LASER DE CLASSE 1.
3.5.4.3 Laser Safety Statutory Warning

All personnel involved in equipment installation and maintenance must be aware that laser radiation is
invisible. Therefore, although protective devices generally prevent direct exposure to the beam, personnel
must strictly observe the applicable safety precautions and in particular must avoid staring into optical
connectors, either directly or through optical instruments.
3.5.4.4 Laser Device Operating Precautions

In addition to the general precautions described in this section, be sure to observe the following warnings
when operating a product equipped with a laser device. Failure to observe these warnings could result in
fire, bodily injury, and damage to the equipment.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of exposure to hazardous radiation, note the following:
 When performing maintenance and other activities on equipment using lasers, it is
recommended that you use protection goggles for the wavelength range of 1300 nm to
1600 nm.
 Only authorized personnel must carry out hot insertion or swapping of an optical module
or optical interface module.
 To prevent irremediable damage to your eyes, avoid looking into the fiber when
hot-removing and/or inserting a fiber termination.
 Place plastic covers on module fiber ports and fiber terminations that are not currently in
use.
 Do not operate controls, make adjustments, or perform procedures associated with the
laser device other than those specified herein.
It is strictly forbidden to interfere with any protective devices and interlocks that are used to
prevent direct exposure to the laser beam.

3.6 Protection against Electrostatic Discharge

This section provides guidelines regarding the protection of NPT-1030 equipment and its components
against electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling, packing/unpacking, transport, installation,
commissioning, inspections, servicing, and maintenance.
Electronic equipment, assemblies, and components that are ESDS (electrostatic discharge sensitive) or
include sensitive items are identified by the basic ESD warning symbol shown in the following figure.
Figure 3-3: Basic ESD warning symbol
The information provided in this section is in line with CENELEC Electronic Components Committee (CECC)
specification CECC 00 015, which deals with protection of devices sensitive to ESD.
Most types of electronic equipment, assemblies, and components can be damaged by electrostatic
discharges. An ESD between two objects occurs when an object carrying static electrical charges touches or
is brought near another object.
Static electrical charges appear as a result of friction between surfaces of insulating materials or separation
of two such surfaces, and may also be induced by electrical fields. Routine activities such as walking across
an insulating floor, friction between garment parts, friction between objects, and so on, can easily build up
charges to levels that may cause damage, especially when humidity is low.

In many cases, the build-up of charge can be avoided by using special materials, for example, garments and
packaging of antistatic materials or materials that have high resistance, but yet are not insulators.
The best way to avoid damage by ESD is a combination of means and procedures that achieves the
following goals:
 Avoids build-up of electrostatic charges
 Creates a protected work environment that helps prevent ESD
 Provides means for controlled discharge of any accumulated electrostatic charges when entering the
protected work environment
NOTE: An area in which ESDS can be handled with minimum risk of damage as a result of ESD
or fields, and in which the operator is not exposed to additional risks, is called an ESD
Protected Area (EPA).
3.6.1 Personnel Training

During production and assembly, equipment is handled in workspaces especially prepared and certified to
serve as a permanent EPA. However, in many cases, the environment in which the same equipment is
installed or maintained cannot be assumed to form an EPA with a permanently controlled boundary.
Therefore, all the work involving handling of unprotected ESD must be considered as field work.
Field work in this context includes such activities as service and maintenance, installation, site inspections,
and commissioning of components and assemblies classified as ESDS, together with associated packing and
unpacking activities.
All the staff involved in field work must be trained to perform their work in the same way as that performed
in permanent EPAs with respect to the material quality, personal responsibilities, training, labeling, and
packing.
3.6.2 Use of a Temporary EPA

Where necessary, use a temporary EPA. The EPA toolkit includes:
 Wrist strap with 1 M Ω series resistor
 Bonding strap with 1 M Ω series resistor
 ESD carpet (work surface), 0.25 m2 minimum
The temporary EPA must include temporary controlled work surfaces and/or flooring capable of providing
protection against ESD.
CAUTION: The temporary EPA must be constructed in a way that ensures electrical bonding of
all the materials used, and prevents the occurrence of any sudden changes in potential within
the EPA that could cause unacceptable voltages or discharges to be applied to ESDS.
The operator and any work surface and flooring must be bonded to ground equipotentially. For this
purpose, the work surface and wrist straps must be bonded either to a designated ground bonding point or
to the equipment being serviced.

Whenever available, the mains’ ground serves as the ESD grounding facility.
WARNING: While the operator is within the temporary EPA, the minimum value of resistance
used for bonding to ground must limit the current to ground, produced by voltages accessible
to the operator, to limits specified as safe by the applicable regulations (see, for example,
CECC 00 015). The same approach is applicable to the surface resistance and resistance to
ground of materials used for temporary work surfaces and flooring.
To enable ESD bonding to ground of equipment racks and any other nonmoveable equipment containing
ESD, an ESD ground-bonding facility must be located near such equipment, or the equipment must be fitted
with a designated ground-bonding point presenting a resistance to ground not greater than 1 MΩ.
3.6.3 Work Arrangements within a Temporary EPA

To ensure that effective ESD protection is indeed achieved, the following arrangements must be observed
by persons entering and/or performing field work within a temporary EPA:
 All operators working within a temporary EPA must wear, as a minimum, an ESD antistatic protecting
garment made of cotton.
 If the extent of the temporary work area is such that the operator needs to walk and move within
that area, the floor of the area must be capable of providing protection against ESD.
 The operator must be bonded to ground at all times when handling ESDS.
 If it becomes necessary to remove ESDS equipment and transfer it to a temporary work surface away
from the other equipment, the ESDS must be given protective packaging unless equipotential bonding
to ground of the operator is maintained.
 An ESDS unit must be placed directly into protective packaging when it is removed from equipment. A
replacement ESDS must be kept in its protective packaging until required for immediate installation in
the equipment.
 The field service operator must ensure that the materials and tools necessary to maintain and control
the temporary EPA are available at the place of the field work at service time.
 All tools for use within the EPA must, as far as is practical, be constructed so that they do not
generate or hold an induced electrostatic charge.
3.7 Environmental and Health Concerns

ECI is committed to achieving high standards of environmental quality and product safety.
The International Standardization Organization (ISO) has developed the internationally recognized
standards ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. These are quality management standards that are administered by
independent accreditation and certification bodies.
ISO 9000 is a family of standards for quality management systems that has been accepted as a model when
assessing the adequacy of quality management systems. Some of the requirements in ISO 9001 (one of the
standards in the ISO 9000 family) include:
 Procedures that cover all key business processes
 Process monitoring to ensure effectiveness

 Adequate record-keeping
 Monitoring output for defects, with appropriate and corrective action where necessary
 Regular review of individual processes and the complete quality system as a whole
 Facilitating continual improvement
ISO 14000 is the international specification for an Environmental Management System (EMS). It specifies
requirements for establishing an environmental policy, determining environmental aspects and impacts of
products, activities, and services, planning environmental objectives and measurable targets,
implementation and operation of programs to meet objectives and targets, checking and corrective action,
and management review. ECI Quality and Environmental Management Systems were certified to these ISO
standards and are periodically audited by third-party organizations.

damage to the carrier, the project manager, and your local ECI representative.

CAUTION: Static Sensitive Devices

Proper handling and grounding precautions required
NPT-1030 equipment contains components sensitive to ESD. To prevent ESD damage, strictly
observe all the precautions listed in Protection Against Electronic Discharge. Keep parts and
cards in their antistatic packaging material until you are ready to install them.
The use of an antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame or rack is
recommended when handling cards and modules during installation, removal, or connection
to internal connectors.
To unpack the equipment:

1. Place the shipping boxes with the top upwards on a clean flat surface. Cut the sealing tape using a
short knife so as not to damage the internal items, and open the top flaps.
2. Remove the items contained in the box and inspect each one for damage. Check for loose parts or any
visual damage to the rack, platform, and auxiliary equipment. Also check the integrity of all the
connectors, leads, and cables.
NOTE: Do not remove plastic covers from optical connectors until optical cables are
connected to them.
3. Search the shipping boxes for any additional small items that may be present.
4. Open each of the module and card packages for inspection, but do not remove the modules/cards
from their individual protective packages until they can be inserted in the platform.
5. Check the contents of the shipping boxes against the packing list attached to each box. If damaged
parts are detected or if any parts are missing, notify the project manager and your local ECI
representative immediately.
4.5 Installation Options

It is recommended that NPT-1030 platforms be installed in ECI approved racks. These racks can be installed
on wooden, concrete, or suspended floors, or suspended from overhead mountings.
The following racks are supported:

4.7.1 Installing the Rail Stiffeners

If you install the, NPT-1030 in the rack without rail stiffeners, because of its weight, the rear side of the
platform is slightly lower than the front side. This makes installation of the EXT-2U very difficult. The rail
stiffeners ensure that the NPT-1030 is level after it is installed in the rack. Two rail stiffeners are shipped
along with the platform.
CAUTION: Rack stiffeners must be installed before installing the EXT-2U on the NPT-1030.
To install the rail stiffeners:

1. Locate the two rail stiffeners included as part of the NPT-1030 platform package.
2. Determine the position for the rail stiffener on the rack’s left side rail according to the position of the
NPT-1030 platform in the rack and in accordance with the rack installation plan.

5. Repeat Steps 1 to 4 for other SFPs (if required).
4.8 Installing the EXT-2U Platform in the Rack

A very important differentiator of the NPT-1030 is that it consists of NPT-1030 and EXT-2U platforms, thus
providing a better pay-as-you-grow solution. The NPT-1030 covers a large number of applications. If you
need more add-drop capacity and additional functionality, such as Ethernet L2 and PCM, a EXT-2U can be
added. The EXT-2U supports live insertion and can be installed at any time without affecting the traffic
running on the NPT-1030. The EXT-2U can also be installed when installing the NPT-1030.

Each EXT-2U platform is supplied with a power module slot and all extension slots, initially empty. The
three extension slots are covered by a cover panel.
The installation procedures described in this section include:
 Installing the H Connector
 Installing the EXT-2U Platform on the NPT-1030 Platform
 Attaching the EXT-2U Platform in the Rack
After these procedures have been completed, the EXT-2U platform is ready for:

5.4.4 Connecting Wall-Mounted Frame Grounding

The frame must be connected to the site grounding bar with a grounding cable according to ETSI
recommendations.
The frame is supplied with a main grounding bolt welded on the right installation bracket. The grounding
stud is identified on the frame by the ground symbol label.
The bolt must be free of paint and connected to the site grounding bar by a grounding cable with a cross
section of the same size as the power feeding cable or thicker, as short as possible, in compliance with
UL/ETSI recommendations. ECI recommends using a grounding cable of 12 AWG to 16 AWG made of
copper strands, with a green/yellow jacket and terminated on both sides with bolt terminals.
To ground the wall-mounted frame:

1. Unscrew the nut and spring washer from the grounding bolt (M6 size) in the frame. The grounding
bolt is shown in the figure Routing and connecting cable and fibers in the wall-mounted frame.
2. Connect the grounding cable from the site grounding, terminated with an M6 lug, to the grounding
bolt.
3. Attach the grounding cable with the nut and spring washer removed in Step 1, and fasten the cable to
the bolt.
5.4.5 Routing and Connecting Cables and Fibers in the

Frame
In general, all electrical traffic cables, power cables, alarm cables, and data cables are routed in the space
beneath the NPT-1030 platform and the frame floor. All optical fibers should be routed through the flexible
tube attached to the right side of the wall-mounted frame. The side to which the cables are passed is
determined by the side of the connectors on the NPT-1030 front panel. For instance, power connectors are
on the left side of the NPT-1030, so power cables are routed on the left side beneath the platform. The
cables are then attached to the cable supports on the left side of the frame with cable ties.
When routing the various types of cables, observe these principles to avoid electromagnetic and RF
interference:
 Traffic cables must not be routed in the same route as power cables.
 Optical fibers must be routed through the special flexible tube only.

Figure 5-36: Routing and connecting cables and fibers in the wall-mounted frame
5.4.5.1 Connecting Power Cables

The power cables are connected to the corresponding connectors on the NPT-1030 platform.

The visual inspection checks for proper equipment installation, correct routing and connection of cables,
and other tasks, as follows:
 Equipment installation documents provide the criteria for proper equipment installation.
 The site cabling diagram provides the criteria for proper cabling routing.
After completing the visual inspection tasks (items 1 through 18 in the following table), power on the
NPT-1030 platform to perform an additional set of acceptance tests (items 15 through 19 in the following
table). These tests check the functions needed for carrying out the network commissioning tests. Consult
the NPT Product Line General Description and the NPT Product Line Reference Manual for a description of
the various card indicators and their functions.
The following table provides a typical list for recording the results of a visual inspection and mechanical
check.

18 Check slot assignment for all relevant cards and modules.
19 Check there are no abnormal alarms.
6.3.4 Measuring Optical Levels

These measurements check optical signal levels at the various equipment ports. Before performing any
other commissioning test, proper optical levels within the limits specified in the NPT Product Line System
Specifications must be achieved for each optical component.
Perform these measurements using an OPM configured according to the wavelength at the measurement
port. For reliable measurement, do not connect the OPM directly to a port but use a two-meter fiber. When
measuring high optical power levels, use attenuators to ensure that the power does not exceed the
maximum OPM input level.
The following table illustrates a typical data form for optical level measurements.
Table 6-7: Measured optical levels
Slot Module type Port Wavelength Optical transmit Receive level

level (dBm) (dBm)

The measured power levels:

 Must be within the range of minimum and maximum levels specified in the NPT Product Line General
Description for the transceiver plug-in type installed on the corresponding port.
 Must be within the expected range according to the optical network plan.
It is usually sufficient to measure the optical levels at the receive ports only. A good port-receive level
indicates that the components in the optical path up to that port are properly connected and operating
normally. If the result is not satisfactory, perform additional measurements at the transmit port in the
remote site.
6.3.5 Platform Power-On Test Procedure
To power on the NE:

1. Perform slot assignments for all the relevant cards and modules in the platform.
2. After 10 seconds, turn the platform circuit breaker off.
3. After 30 seconds, turn the platform circuit breaker on.
The equipment should automatically return to normal operation, without user intervention and
without any abnormal alarms in the system.
6.4 SDH Commissioning Tests

These commissioning tests check that SDH functionality is in accordance with the system specifications.
6.4.1 Loss of Signal (LOS) Detection Test

This test verifies that NEs recognize alarms and send an alarm notification to the management system for
viewing.
To perform a LOS detection test:

1. Create NEs and links through the management system.
2. Disconnect the Rx optical fiber from one of the modules. A LOS alarm at the SPI level of this module
port appears, together with other alarms generated by the disconnection.
6.4.2 Network Timing Synchronization Test

This test checks that the NPT-1030 NEs synchronize properly and switch to the next priority clock source
when a failure occurs.

To perform network timing synchronization test:

1. Define one NE as the (internal) timing source to which all other NEs are synchronized. This test can be
done with an external timing source, if requested.
2. Define several priorities for the timing source.
3. Disconnect the Rx fiber connected to the NE defined as the main timing source.
If the NE has two or more timing sources, it synchronizes to the second priority source, and an alarm is
generated for the missing main timing source.
If the NE has only one timing source, the NE timing is set as “hold-over” and an alarm is generated for the
main timing source. Another alarm is generated to indicate that there is no available timing source.
6.4.3 Input Sensitivity Test

This test verifies that the input sensitivity of the NPT-1030 optical modules is according to specifications.
To perform an input sensitivity test:

1. Create one unprotected trail of any rate between two NEs.
2. Connect test equipment to one NE and perform a loopback at the other NE (in the relevant endpoint
ports).
3. Connect a variable optical attenuator to one of the fibers of the relevant trail, and set the attenuator
to 0 dB.
4. Increase the attenuation gradually until the test equipment displays a burst of errors.
5. Connect an OPM to the first Rx point after the variable optical attenuator and measure the total
power. The measured optical power level is the input sensitivity of the module.
6. Verify that the results are in accordance with the NPT Product Line System Specifications.
6.4.4 Equipment Power-On Test

This test verifies that the NPT-1030 NEs continue operating properly after a power break, without operator
involvement.
To perform an equipment power-on test:

ports).
3. Shut off the power to one of the nongateway NEs within the relevant trail. Errors and an Alarm
Indication Signal (AIS) alarm appear in the test equipment. After approximately seven minutes, an “NE
disconnected” alarm appears in the management system current alarm list, and the NE icon turns
gray (indicates no communication).

4. Power on the NE and wait for it to perform the initial download to all cards/modules in the platform.
This can take five minutes.
5. Verify that the NE is connected to the management station and that there are no relevant alarms in
the test equipment or at the management station.
6.4.5 Traffic Stability Test

This test verifies that traffic operates according to ITU-T standards.
To perform traffic stability test:

ports).
3. Run this test for the appropriate time interval according to the following table.
4. Verify that no alarms appear in the test equipment or at the management station. You should achieve
an error-free rate of 1 x 10-11 for 2 Mbps and 1 x 10-12 for all other rates.

6.4.6 Transmission Alarm-Handling Test

This test verifies that the NPT-1030 NEs can recognize an alarm and send an alarm notification to the
management system, and that the management system displays it properly.
This procedure tests the following alarms: PDH-LOS, PDH-AIS, and SPI-LOS.
To perform a transmission alarm-handling test:

2. Connect PDH test equipment to one NE and perform a loopback at the other NE (in the relevant
endpoint ports).
3. Disconnect the Tx cable of the test equipment. The management station reports a LOS alarm for the
relevant PDH port.
4. Set the test equipment to transmit an AIS (AIS = on). The management station reports an AIS alarm
for the relevant PDH port.
5. Disconnect the Rx fiber of an optical port. The management station reports a LOS (SPI-LOS) alarm for
the relevant optical port.
If ALS = off, the management station reports a far-end optical port MS-RDI alarm.
If ALS = on, the management station reports a far-end optical port LOS alarm.

6.4.7 Maintenance Action Test

This test verifies that maintenance actions can be performed in the NPT-1030 NEs using the management
system.
This procedure tests a near-end loopback, forced PDH AIS, forced low-rate RDI, forced high-rate RDI, and
forced MS-RDI.
To perform maintenance action test:

2. Connect test equipment to one NE. The PDH test equipment detects an AIS alarm.
3. Perform a near-end loopback at the other trail endpoint. The AIS alarm in the PDH test equipment
clears, and no alarm or error remains on the PDH test equipment.
4. Using the management station, execute forced AIS on the PDH port that connects to the test
equipment. The PDH test equipment detects an AIS alarm.
5. Using the management station, execute a forced low-rate RDI (or forced high-rate RDI or forced
MS-RDI) on a NPT-1030 platform. Another NPT-1030 platform reports a low-rate RDI (or high-rate RDI
or MS-RDI) to the management station.
6.4.8 Path Protection and Nonretrieval Test

This test verifies that SNCP traffic operates properly when a failure occurs.
To perform a path protection and nonretrieval test:

ports).
3. Disconnect one of the fibers in the active path of the trail. Short alarm bursts of less than 50 msec
appear in the test equipment, and the management station reports an alarm in the active path of the
trail.
4. Verify that the trail works properly on the protection path.
5. Reconnect the optical fiber. The trail remains on the protection path (nonretrieve mode), and there is
no alarm in the test equipment.
6.4.9 Severity Assignment Test

This test, which is performed on one NPT-1030 NE, determines the level of urgency accorded to each alarm
and creates an alarm-handling protocol.
When a fault is detected or removed, the NE updates the status of the LEDs and reports the alarm
activation or clearing to the management station.

To perform a severity assignment test:

1. Disconnect a fiber from one of the optical interfaces. An SPI LOS alarm of critical severity appears on
the management station for the NPT-1030 and the MJR LED on the NPT-1030 panel turns on.
2. Reconnect the fiber. The SPI LOS alarm on the management station clears and the MJR LED on the
NPT-1030 panel turns off (only if there are no other alarms on the NPT-1030 unit).
3. Change the severity of the SPI LOS alarm to minor.
4. Disconnect a fiber from one of the optical interfaces. An SPI LOS alarm of minor severity appears on
the management station for the NPT-1030 and the MNR LED on the NPT-1030 panel turns on (only if
there is no critical or major alarm on the NPT-1030 unit).
5. Reconnect the fiber. The SPI LOS alarm on the management station clears and the MNR LED on the
NPT-1030 panel turns off (only if there is no other alarm on the NPT-1030 unit).
6.5 Data Network Commissioning Tests

The data network commissioning tests check that data functionality is in accordance with system
specifications.
6.5.1 Throughput and Latency Tests

These tests determine the time it takes to transmit frames through the network, and the maximum amount
of data that can pass through the network before frames are lost.
To perform throughput and latency tests:

1. Create two unprotected Ethernet trails of any rate between two NEs in the network.
2. Connect test equipment to both ports of one NE and connect two ports of the other NE through an
Ethernet cable.
3. Configure the test equipment for RFC-2544 throughput and latency measurement.
4. Measure the throughput and latency for frame sizes 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 1280, and 1518 bytes,
and record the results in the appropriate table.
NOTE:
 Measured latency is for both the forward and return paths. For a single path, the latency is
50% of the measured value.
 The latency test is dependent on the throughput results. For example, if 10 Mbps is tested
and the throughput is 4%, the latency test should be for 4 Mbps (2 * VC-12 = 4 Mbps).
Inject traffic according to the assigned bandwidth (VC-12 = 2.048 Mbps).

6.5.2 System Recovery and Reset Tests

These tests determine the speed at which a device recovers from a buffer overflow condition or from a
power failure.
To perform system recovery and reset tests:

1. Create two unprotected Ethernet trails of any rate (for example, 10/100 Mbps) between two NEs.
2. Connect test equipment to both ports of one NE and connect two ports of the other NE (in the
relevant endpoint ports) through an Ethernet cable.
3. Configure the test equipment for manual testing according to the port rate and for any frame size.
4. Power off one of the NEs and verify packet loss in the test equipment.
5. Turn on the NE, wait five minutes, and verify that the errors in the test equipment have cleared.
6.5.3 Frame Loss Rate Test

This test determines the number of frames that are lost when the system is overloaded.
To perform a frame loss rate test:

1. Create two unprotected Ethernet trails between two NEs.
3. Configure the test equipment for RFC-2544 for frame loss measurements. Set to 100%.
The frame loss rate in % is defined according to the following formula:
[(input fps) - (output fps)] * 100 / (input fps)
fps = frames per second
For example, for a 100 Mbps test using 5 * VC-12 = 10 Mbps, with input fps = 148810 and output fps =
14881, the frame loss is:
148810 - 14881 = 133929 (a 90% loss).

defined period of time.
To perform a stability test:

1. Create two unprotected Ethernet trails of any rate (for example, 10/100 Mbps) between two NEs.
3. Configure the test equipment for manual testing according to the port rate and for any frame size.
4. Set the transmit rate in the test equipment to about 90% of the trail bandwidth.
5. Run this test for two hours, and verify that no errors appear in the test equipment.
6.5.5 Alarm-Handling Test

This test checks the alarm conditions forced on the NE and the subsequent action carried out by the NE. It
tests signal loss to both the data LAN port and to the optical interfaces.
To perform an alarm-handling test:

1. Create two Ethernet trails of any rate (for example, 10/100 Mbps) between two NEs.
3. Disconnect the test equipment to create a signal loss to the data LAN port. This generates a 10/100
Mbps - Link Down alarm.

7 Maintenance
7.1 Overview
This chapter provides maintenance procedures for NPT-1030 equipment.
Personnel involved in maintenance must be thoroughly familiar with safety issues, as described in Before
You Start.
7.2 Test Equipment, Tools, and Materials

The only tools required for most maintenance activities described in this chapter are an LCT-APT terminal
and a multimeter. If you need to make measurements, it is recommended to use equipment of the same
type and models used for commissioning tests, see Commissioning Tests. The tools and materials necessary
for equipment installation must also be available during maintenance.
7.3 Preventive Maintenance

The purpose of preventive maintenance activities is to keep the NPT-1030 hardware in good condition, and
detect and correct as soon as possible any condition that may lead to deterioration and equipment
malfunction.
Record the execution of the various activities and their results according to the procedures used in your
organization.

7.4 Onsite Troubleshooting

The purpose of onsite troubleshooting is to identify the hardware causing the malfunction and return the
equipment to normal operation as soon as possible.
Troubleshooting is usually initiated in response to one of the following conditions:
 Alarm or performance degradation reported by the management station.
 Alarm or malfunction detected onsite by maintenance personnel, either as a result of a
troubleshooting activity initiated by the management center personnel or as a result of a periodic
inspection or preventive maintenance action. Many problems can be detected via the various
indicators available on the NPT-1030 system components.
This chapter assumes familiarity with the NPT-1030, with SDH data, and with the LightSoft and EMS-APT
management stations. See the respective user manual for details on the various capabilities of the
management stations and for instructions on performing the necessary activities.
The following sections provide procedures for performing onsite troubleshooting for various trouble
categories. For each category, a troubleshooting table provides instructions for identifying the problem.

To use the troubleshooting table:

1. Identify the closest description of the trouble symptoms under “Symptoms”.
2. Perform the required corrective actions listed under “Corrective actions” in the order they appear,
until the trouble is corrected.

in the transmit side of the
transceiver. Remove and reinsert
the transceiver.
 Check the output optical power
again. If the output optical power
is still not within the range of
minimum and maximum levels
specified in the NPT Product Line

transceiver.
 If the problem still exists, check
the received optical power with
an OPM. If the optical power is
within the range of minimum and
maximum levels specified in the
NPT Product Line System
Specifications, replace the
transceiver.
following the previous steps,
check the remote site.
 If there are no problems on both
sites, the problem may be in the
optical fiber between the two
sites.
NOTE: Be sure to turn on the ALS
function after performing all checks.

NOTE: An optical port with ALS capability turns off its transmitter when the corresponding
receive signal is lost. Turning the transmitter off may cause a chain reaction which turns the
optical signals off in a whole section of the network and generates a large number of alarms.
As a result, it may be difficult to identify the real cause of the problem and you may need to
use the management station log records to identify the port.
Each FE port has two LEDs that reside on the RJ-45 connector. One is a link indication (green) and the other
a speed indication (orange).

7.5 Replacing Cards and Modules

The following sections provide procedures for replacing cards and modules in the NPT-1030.
7.5.1 Safety and Workmanship

Refer to Before You Start for safety and workmanship instructions.
CAUTION: Static Sensitive Devices

PROPER HANDLING AND GROUNDING PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED
NPT-1030 equipment contains components sensitive to ESD. To prevent ESD damage, strictly
observe all the precautions listed in Protection Against ESD. Keep parts and cards in their
antistatic packaging material until you are ready to install them.
Use an antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame or rack when handling
cards and modules during installation, removal, or connection to internal connectors.
Before you start:

When inserting cards and modules, be sure to carefully align the card/module with the platform guide rails.
If you feel resistance during insertion, immediately retract the card/module and repeat the process.
Hold the card/module straight during insertion and removal, and pull or push it slowly and carefully to
avoid touching components located on adjacent cards/modules.
Do not use excessive torque when tightening the fastening screws of cards and modules.
Visually inspect the card and the mating backplane connectors and make sure that there are no signs of
physical damage. In particular, check for bent connector pins.

Before replacing any card, module, or optical transceiver:

1. Check that the replacement component has not been physically damaged during shipment.
2. Remove the replacement component from its antistatic protection packaging, and perform a visual
inspection to detect damage during shipment. Report any problems.
3. Record the hardware and software versions as indicated on the component identification labels, and
make sure they are compatible with those of the component to be replaced.
After replacing a component: 0.
1. Place it in its antistatic protection packaging and close it.

2. Attach a report to the packaging explaining the reason for the replacement, and identify the network
site, physical location, platform, and time of replacement.
7.5.2 Replacing the MCP30B Card
CAUTION: Replacing the MCP30B card does not affect traffic on other Tslot cards. However,
T3/T4 synchronization signals, the E1-based DCC clear channel, and OW traffic are unavailable
for the duration of the replacement.
To replace an MCP30B card in the NPT-1030 platform:

1. Mark each cable connected to the MCP30B card for identification purposes.
2. Disconnect all cables connecting the MCP30B card.
3. Loosen and remove the two screws.
4. Hold the handle on the MCP30B panel and pull the card to be replaced outward until it is released
from the backplane.
5. Continue to hold the handles and gently pull the card out of the platform.
6. Extract the SD (or CF) card from the replaced MCP30B card. Push the SD (or CF) card and then release
it to remove the card from the slot automatically.
7. Insert the SD (or CF) card into the replacement MCP30B card. Be sure the card is properly locked.
8. Insert the rear end of the replacement card into the corresponding card guides.
9. Push the replacement card in until the front panel of the card is flush with the front of the NPT-1030
platform. If resistance is felt before the connectors are flush, pull the card out and repeat the
procedure.
10. Close the screws on the panel to fasten the card to the NPT-1030 platform.
11. Reconnect all cables for the MCP30B card according to the cable marks.

7.5.3 Replacing XIO30 Cards
CAUTION: Because of XIO30 card redundancy, all the traffic on the main XIO30 can be
protected by the standby XIO30 when replacing the main card. To avoid breaks in traffic, the
XIO30 cards must be replaced one by one. It is important that the standby XIO30 card be
running before replacing the main XIO30 card.
To replace an XIO30 card in the NPT-1030 platform:

1. Mark the fibers connected to the XIO30 card for identification purposes.
2. Disconnect all fibers connecting the XIO30 card.
4. Hold the handle on the XIO30 card panel and pull the card to be replaced outward until it is released
from the backplane.

8.12 PME1_63 Connection Data

The PME1_63 provides 63 balanced E1 tributary interfaces and has a 272-pin VHDCI female connector. If
unbalanced E1 interfaces (75 Ω) are required a conversion patch panel box, like the xDDF-21, is used. The
connector has two parts, each with 136 pins; the upper part serves the 63 E1 receive signals and the lower
part the 63 E1 transmit signals.
ECI offers a special cable for connecting the PME1_63 (see Traffic Cable for PME1_63.) The cable end
connecting to the PME1_63 terminates with a double 136-pin VHDCI male connector. The connector parts
are designated as P1 for the transmit lines and P3 for the receive lines.
The following figure identifies the connector pins as seen when looking into the connector. The tables list
the pin assignment for a typical connector (for unbalanced interfaces, wire A is the center (tip) conductor
and wire B is the shield or ring). These tables list the color of the wire connected to the corresponding pin
in the cable offered by ECI’s Network Solutions Division for connecting the tributary connector and a
distribution frame. The cable marking in the heading of each table refers to the 26 AWG cable connected to
the conversion box as designated in the cable description (see Traffic Cable for PME1_63 ).

8.28.2 ALARM IN/OUT Connector

The ALARM IN/OUT connector is a 68-pin SCSI female connector that carries three groups of lines to the
customer equipment:
 Sixteen external alarm inputs connected to the ALARM inputs of the NPT platforms. Four inputs are
allocated to each one. Each input is activated by closing a dry contact provided from the customer's
facility.
 Eight sets of changeover relay contacts, floating with respect to platform ground, that serve as rack
(bay) status outputs. Each couple of the eight relays is assigned to the two output alarm lines of each
NPT platform connected to the RAP-4B.
 Four sets of changeover relay contacts, floating with respect to platform ground, that serve as rack
(bay) alarm indication lines. The relays, identified as critical, major, minor, and warning, are activated
by the corresponding alarm relays of NPT platforms.
Relay contact ratings are 72 V in open state and 1A in closed state.

9 Rack Installation
9.1 Installing Equipment Racks

NOTE: The instructions in this Appendix are relevant to the installation of all rack types.
However, it is recommended that NPT-1030 platforms be installed in ETSI A racks.
9.1.1 Marking Rack Floor

You need to mark out the rack floor plan before installing the rack.
Before you start:

Before starting, find the prescribed location of each equipment rack.
If you have not yet unpacked the rack and the associated mounting kits, do so now (see Unpacking and
Performing Visual Inspection ).
To mark out the rack floor plan:

1. For each rack, mark out the floor at the rack location(s) according to the floor plan template
corresponding to the type of rack being installed:
 ETSI A and ETSI B racks: Use template of diagram a. in the figure "Mounting diagrams for ETSI
racks" (Rack Installation on Wooden Floors ).
 23” rack: Use template of diagram a. in the figure "Mounting diagrams for 19” and 23” racks"
(Rack Installation on Wooden Floors ).
 19” rack: Use template of diagram b. in the figure "Mounting diagrams for 19” and 23” racks"
(Rack Installation on Wooden Floors ).
The marked locations are a helpful guide for positioning the racks.
2. If the installation is located at a site with a floating (suspended) floor, also mark out all cable entry
slots.
3. For concrete or wooden floors, mark out all the points designated for equipment bolting.

NPT-1030 Installation and Maintenance Manual Rack Installation
9.1.2 Installing the Rack on Concrete Floors
To install the rack on a concrete floor:

1. Drill the required mounting holes in accordance with the appropriate template. See diagram a. in the
figure "Mounting diagrams for ETSI racks", and diagram a. or b. in the figure "Mounting diagrams for
19” and 23” racks" (Rack Installation on Wooden Floors ).
2. Insert expansion shields into the holes.
3. Position the rack over the mounting holes.
4. Secure the rack to the floor with the bolts supplied in the mounting kit, in accordance with diagram b.
or diagram c. in the figure "Mounting diagrams for 19” and 23” racks" (Rack Installation on Wooden
Floors ).
9.1.3 Installing the Rack on Wooden Floors
To install the rack on a wooden floor:

1. Drill the required mounting holes in accordance with the appropriate template (see the following
figures), using a 5 mm drill bit.
3. Secure the rack to the floor using the appropriate wood screws (see the following figures).

Figure 9-1: Mounting diagrams for ETSI racks

Figure 9-2: Mounting diagrams for 19" and 23" racks
9.1.4 Installing the Rack on Floating (Suspended) Floors
To install the rack on a floating (suspended) floor:

1. Drill the required mounting holes in the suspended floor, in accordance with the appropriate
template.
3. Secure the rack to the floor in accordance with diagram c. in the figure "Mounting diagrams for ETSI
racks" (Rack Installation on Wooden Floors ).

9.1.5 Installing the Rack on Suspended Overhead Trays
To install the rack on a suspended overhead tray:

1. See the following figure and position the overhead rack securing brackets.
2. Secure the rack to the overhead cabling trays, using the adjustable brackets. 2200 mm high racks may
also be attached to the ceiling; 2600 mm racks are generally attached only to the ceiling.
Figure 9-3: Rack mounting diagram for attachment to suspended overhead tray (2200 mm rack)
9.1.6 Installing Extendable Rails

In high-density installations, it may be necessary to install the xRAP above the rack using the extendable
installation rails available from ECI.
In this case, attach the extendable installation rails to the top of the rack before installing the equipment.
9.1.7 Grounding the Rack

Immediately after installing the rack, connect its grounding stud to the prescribed grounding point on the
site grounding bar.
Use a grounding lead that meets the requirements described in Rack Grounding Requirements.

9.2 Installing 19" Racks

The NPT-1030 can also be installed in European 19” racks. This is accepted under the limitations that the
rack’s general dimensions are according to the following figure. Any other European 19” rack must first be
examined and approved by ECI.
Figure 9-4: Example of an approved European 19” rack
