Safety standards
Nortel network elements conform to all relevant safety standards. The
OME6500 complies with the following safety standards:
• IEC/EN 60950-1:2001—Information technology equipment - Safety, Part
1 : General requirements
• IEC 60825-1:2001 and IEC 60825-2:2004—Safety of Laser Products
• FDA 21 CFR 1040—Performance Standards for Light-Emitting Products,
1997
Laser radiation—optical transmission systems

Nortel optical products use laser or light-emitting diode (LED) sources that
emit light energy into optical fibers. This energy is within the red (visible) and
infrared (not visible) areas of the electromagnetic spectrum.
323-1851-
International standards
The IEC 60825 series of international standards cover the safety of laser and
LED products. The following list provides examples from the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), Code of Federal Register (CFR), and
European Norm (EN) series of standards:
• IEC 60825-1:2001, Safety of Laser Products—Part 1: Equipment
Classification, Requirements and User’s Guide, Edition 1.2, August 2001
(122 pgs) (Part 1 of a series of publications under the general title of:
Safety of Laser Products). This standard provides information about
equipment classification and on limit values for the safety of laser
products.
Note: In Europe, the EN 60825 series of standards for CE marking
purposes evaluate the safety of laser and LED products. The EN 60825
series is technically equivalent to IEC 60825.
• IEC 60825-2:2004, Safety of Laser Products—Part 2: Safety of Optical

Fibre Communication Systems, Third Edition, June 2004, 49 pgs. This
standard provides information about the safety of optical fiber
communication systems.
• Regional standards such as the EN 60825 series: for example, British
Standard BS EN 60825-1:1994, Safety of Laser Products, Equipment
Classification, Requirements and User’s Guide, 15 Dec 1994, 123 pgs.
These standards are based on the IEC 60825 series.
Note: In Europe, the EN 60825 series of standards for CE marking
purposes evaluate the safety of laser and LED products. The EN 60825
series is technically equivalent to IEC 60825.
• In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), publishes
regulations 21 CFR 1010, Performance Standards for Electronics
Products: General, April 1996, and 21 CFR 1040 in the Code of Federal
Register (CFR). Regulations 21 CFR 1010 and 21 CFR 1040 contain laser
safety requirements equivalent to the European standards.
Note: FDA Laser Notice 50, issued by the US Department of Health and
Human Services (FDS) on July 26, 2001, now states that there is no
objection to the FDA conforming with IEC labels as specified in IEC
60825-1. This is in an effort on the part of the FDA to align its standards
for laser products with international standard IEC 60825-1.
Although the FDA classifications (I, IIIb, IV) are similar to IEC classification
(1, 3B, 4), the classifications are not equivalent. Nortel Networks ensures that
all its products are compliant with either or both FDA and IEC requirements,
as required.

Laser radiation hazards

When operating the product normally, with all optical connectors in position
and correctly terminated, the optical radiation is completely enclosed. The
system is a Class 1(IEC)/Class I (FDA) product, regardless of the power
transmitted within the optical fiber.
If you have unterminated optical cables (breaks in the fiber-optic cable or

disconnected connectors) the output from circuit packs containing optical
transmitters can be greater than Class 1 (IEC)/Class I (FDA).
The maximum radiation hazard encountered when disconnecting an optical

fiber or during a fiber break does not exceed the accessible emission limit
(AEL) for Class 1 (IEC) or Class I (FDA). The worst case hazard level as
defined by IEC 60825-2 is Hazard Level 1, and defined by ANSI Z136.2 as a
Service Group 1. Because the system is intended to be installed in a restricted
access location, no additional engineering design features are required to
prevent exposure to the laser radiation.
Labeling
The OME6500 system and circuit packs have been labeled in accordance with
IEC 60825-1, IEC 60825-2 and FDA Laser Notice 50 (Dated July 2001).
Circuit pack labels

Each optical circuit pack has a laser aperture warning label located on both the
interior and exterior of the circuit pack door. The elements of a typical circuit
pack explanatory label are as follows:
• laser warning symbol
• warning text explaining the risk associated with the hazard from exposed
optical fiber ends and unterminated connectors
Note: This warning text indicates a hazard can exist on either the fixed or
free end of a connector depending on the direction of transmission.
• a laser hazard level statement in accordance with IEC 60825-2:2004

For laser hazard labels found on the OME6500 system, refer to the following
illustrations.

3A IEC60825-2:2000
OME6500 circuit packs do not use lasers that exceed the AEL for Class 1, and,
therefore, do not require wavelength and optical power information at the
aperture. Consequently, the information in the following list is not located on
the circuit pack. However, the information is provided in this chapter for every
optical circuit pack (refer to the additional information after the following
bulleted list):
• wavelength, shown as a nominal value or dense wavelength division
multiplexing (DWDM) range of values, such as in the following examples:
— 850 nm nominal indicates a single wavelength in the range 830 nm to
860 nm
— 1310 nm nominal indicates a single wavelength in the range of
1270 nm to 1360 nm
— 1550 nm nominal indicates a single wavelength in the range 1525 nm
to 1625 nm
— 1510 nm to1625 nm indicates a range of multiple discrete DWDM
wavelengths

Circuit pack explanatory label—Passive subassembly labels

A passive optical subassembly supplied and installed as part of a complete
Nortel optical communication system has the appropriate hazard level
assigned and labels attached. If Nortel Networks does not supply and install
the subassembly, you must determine the maximum accessible optical output
level and assign the appropriate hazard level and labels.
Passive subassemblies (for example, optical patch panels, couplers and

splitters, and optical switches) can carry optical signals of any power
depending on the source optical fibers. These subassemblies require the
appropriate laser warning and explanatory labels that you normally place in
close proximity to the connectors or to the access panel. You are responsible
for ensuring the following requirements are met:
• be aware of the optical powers at the inputs and outputs of the
subassemblies
• place the appropriate labels on subassemblies
• only qualified personnel, trained in optical safety, and who understand the
optical safety issues associated with the subassemblies, work on the
equipment
Product-level regulatory label
All products containing optical circuit packs include product-level regulatory
labels. Nortel Networks applies the regulatory label at the factory. This label
includes information about equipment compliance to safety standards and does
not have to be visible after installation of the equipment. This label also
includes all necessary approval marks. It is located on the side of the
OME6500 shelf.
Using optical fibers

Optical fibers are either single mode or multiple mode. The information in the
following paragraphs applies to all optical fibers.
323-1851-
Handling optical fibers

When you work with optical fibers, you must take the following precautions:
• Wear safety glasses when you install optical fibers.
DANGER
Risk of laser radiation exposure
Do not look directly into the optical beam. Invisible light can
severely damage your eyes. Keep all optical connectors capped.
• Do not look into the opening of an optical fiber, or the opening of an optical
fiber connector, if the optical fiber is active or the unit has the power turned
on.
• Avoid direct exposure to optical fiber ends or optical connector ends where
you can access the laser signal directly.
• Clean your hands after you handle optical fibers. Small pieces of glass are
not always visible and can damage your eyes.
DANGER
Risk of eye injury
If you have a piece of a glass in your eye, get medical assistance
immediately.
• Do not handle pieces of optical fiber with your fingers. Use tweezers or
adhesive tape to lift and discard any loose optical fiber ends.
• Wear rubber gloves when you clean optical connectors. The gloves prevent
direct contact with the isopropyl alcohol and prevent contamination of the
ferrules with skin oils.
• Place all optical fiber clippings in a plastic container provided for that
purpose.
• Handle optical fibers with caution. Place the optical fibers in a safe location
during installation.
• Protect all optical fiber connectors with clean dust caps at all times.
• Follow the manufacturer instructions when you use an optical test set.
Incorrect calibration or control settings can create hazardous levels of
radiation.

Splicing optical fibers

When you must look at a spliced optical fiber with a small magnifier, take the
following precautions:
• Power off all laser sources to the optical fiber or disconnect the remote
optical fiber end from the laser sources before you start splicing. Make sure
that all laser sources remain disconnected or have the power turned off.
The laser sources can be in a central office, on subscriber premises, or in a
remote location.
• Disconnect all optical test sets from the optical fiber before you start
splicing. The connections can be local or remote.
• Use only the optical instruments approved by your company.
Repairing optical fibers
When an accidental break occurs in the optical fiber, do the following:
• Report the location of the damaged optical fiber to both the central office
and the field repair personnel.
• Power down all laser sources to the optical fiber or disconnect the remote
optical fiber end from the laser sources. The laser sources can be in a
central office, on subscriber premises, or in a remote location.
Working with power

DANGER
The battery feeds can be at a high enough potential to constitute
a shock hazard. Read and understand the power procedures you
are performing. Take necessary precautions and use the
appropriate insulated tools when working with power.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury, energy hazard
The battery feeds are capable of supplying very high current
which, during an unintentional short, can cause burns. Read
and understand the power procedures you are performing. Take
necessary precautions and use the appropriate insulated tools
when working with power.
When you install power feeds to the product input terminals or if you perform
routine power maintenance, make sure that you do the following:
• Read and understand the power procedures you are performing.
• Take the necessary precautions and use the appropriate insulated tools to
perform any tasks.
323-1851-
A continuously lit green LED at the faceplate of a power input card

(NTK505AA or NTK505BA) indicates that the card is functioning correctly
and is powered up. If the green LED on a power input card is lit, the power at
the associated feeder is present and the conditions can be assumed to be
normal.
If the green LED on a power input card is not lit, the possible causes can
include, but are not limited to:
• damaged or non-functional power input card
• feeder low voltage or power failure
• an over-current fail (circuit breaker trip)
• the circuit breaker on the power input card (NTK505AA) or on the breaker
interface panel (BIP) in the ‘off’ position.
• a reverse polarity condition at the input terminals has caused a circuit
breaker trip
The circuit breaker on the power input card (NTK505AA) is a mid-trip circuit
breaker. A circuit breaker switch in the mid-trip position indicates that the
circuit breaker tripped on an over-current condition.
Before you reset a tripped circuit breaker, you must:

• Determine if there are any obvious causes of the trip occurring in the
affected parts and associated wiring. For example, signs or odors
associated with an overheated component.
• Verify that the configuration of the power distribution elements complies
with the installation instructions.
The power input card (NTK505BA) contains no internal over-current
protection. The card depends on the 40 A circuit breaker contained in the BIP
(NTK599AA or NTK599BA) for this function and to provide a means of
disconnecting the power to the OME6500 shelf. If the OME6500 shelf is to be
installed without using the BIP (NTK599AA or NTK599BA) fitted with 40 A
circuit breakers, the power input card (NTK505AA) must be used. Use of the
power input card (NTK505BA) without providing acceptable external
over-current protection and supply disconnection means can result in
equipment damage and voids all warranties.

Dissipating static electricity

The level of static electricity increases on your body when you move around
or come into contact with other charged surfaces. Excessive levels of static
electricity can damage equipment. You must either wear a properly
functioning heel grounder (that attaches to your leg and foot) and/or an
antistatic wrist-strap, or another personal grounding device when you work on
any of the following:
• network element shelves (including the metal frame and cover)
• cables connected to circuit packs
• circuit packs
Note: Heel grounders or similar worn footwear attachments work when
the floor is designed to dissipate static electricity. If the properties of the
floor are unknown or in doubt, use a wrist-strap and make sure it is
connected to a piece of electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding equipment
before proceeding with any maintenance or installation activity.
Any one of the previously mentioned grounding devices dissipate electrostatic

charges to the ground quickly and safely. Use grounding devices correctly to
eliminate the ESD threat you pose to the equipment.
When you wear an antistatic wrist-strap or a heel grounder, you must make
sure the grounding straps are in contact with a moist part of your skin. Connect
the grounding cord to the grounding plug on a grounded fixture of the product
you are working on, such as the shelf ESD jack. Grounded fixtures are
accessible on most Nortel products. See the ESD ground jacks shown in Figure
1-3 (example shows the optical shelf, the other shelf variants have ESD ground
jacks in similar positions).
The following guidelines provide optimal electrostatic discharge protection:

• Install bays on conductive floor coverings.
• Provide conductive shoes, antistatic wrist-straps, and heel grounders to all
personnel working on the equipment.
• Maintain local environmental conditions so that relative humidity around
equipment to be serviced is in excess of 20% (preferably higher than 40%).
This lowers the threat of developing damaging electrostatic levels.
• You can implement an ESD training and control program that educates
personnel on the hazards of ESD and simple mitigation procedures that can
easily be applied.

Preventing circuit pack damage and pluggable module damage

Note: In this section, the generic term “module” is used to refer to circuit
packs or pluggable modules as applicable.
All modules are subject to damage by rough handling or by electrostatic

discharges. Review the following sections for more information on how to
prevent damage to modules.
If Nortel Networks ships modules separately from the network element shelf,
then these circuit packs can come in shielded containers marked with the
following symbol:

PRÉCAUTIONS. MANIPULER FOR HANDLING
LE MATERIEL SENSIBLE A ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE
L’ELECTROSTATIQUE EN DEVICES
SUIVANT LES MESURES DE
SECURITE

Handling, installing, storing, or replacing circuit packs and pluggable

modules
When you handle, install, or replace modules, you must take the following
precautions:
• Wear an antistatic wrist-strap, a heel grounder, or another personal
grounding device before you remove a module from its package or from
the shelf.
• Follow installation and removal procedures for each module. Make sure to
understand and perform each precautionary message in these procedures
(for example, opening/closing the latches of the circuit pack
simultaneously).
• Do not touch the solder side of the module, the pin connector, or the
components.
• Inspect all pin connectors on each module for damage before use.
• Inspect each module for damage before you insert the component into the
shelf.
• Store uninstalled modules separately in a shielded box.
• Do not stack modules on or against each other.
• Do not force modules into their packaging material.
• Do not store several modules in the same container.
• Allow each module to reach room temperature before you insert the
module into the shelf.
• Protect all optical connectors of the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) optical
modules with clean dust caps at all times.
• Store pluggable modules in their protective static-dissipative containers
(when not in use) to prevent damage to the exposed connector terminals.
Leave spare modules in the original shielded containers until you need the
modules. To prevent damage to modules in storage, follow procedures that
prevent:
• accumulation of dirt or dust on the pin connectors
• damage to the printed-circuit board or its components
• warpage (of printed-circuit boards stored in areas where the humidity can
exceed 95% and the temperature can exceed 70°C)
Transporting circuit packs and pluggable modules
When you transport modules, pack each module in its original shielded
container and padding, or in an electrostatically shielded bag. If you lose the
original material, place the module in a shielded bag and use another container
with sufficient padding.

Controlling equipment access

The OME6500 system is intended to be installed in a restricted access location.
In North America, location restriction must be in accordance with articles
110-16, 110-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.
70. Outside North America, the location restriction must be in accordance with
the international safety standard IEC/EN 60950-1. In the context of these
requirements, a restricted access location is further defined as a location:
• where access is restricted to only trained personnel
• to which unsupervised members of the general public are not admitted
Controlling equipment environment

The maximum operational long-term ambient temperature of the system
location is 40°C. A temperature above 40°C is permissible (according to ETSI
EN 300 019-1-3 V2.1.2 Edition 2003-04 for Environmental Class 3.1:
Temperature controlled locations) provided the probability of occurrence is
less than 1%. A temperature of 55°C is permissible (according to Telcordia

Preparing for installation 3-

This chapter provides information that can be useful in preparing to install
Optical Multiservice Edge 6500 (OME6500) shelves. This chapter includes
the following topics:
• Shelf configurations
• Rack configurations
• Power requirements
• Tools and materials list
Shelf configurations
The OME6500 is available in:
• an optical shelf assembly (10 U) (see Figure 3-1). The optical shelf
assembly provides support for optical services and electrical services
through STM-1e interfaces.
• an optical/front electrical shelf assembly (18 U) (see Figure 3-2). The
optical/front electrical shelf assembly provides support for optical and
electrical services.
• an optical/rear electrical shelf assembly (8 U) (see Figure 3-3). The
optical/rear electrical shelf assembly provides support for optical and
electrical services.
Note 1: The optical shelf assembly cannot be upgraded in-service to
support electrical services (except STM-1e SFP services). If you plan to
deploy electrical services other than STM-1e SFPs in the future (including
10/100Base-T services which will be available in future releases), you
must deploy the optical/front or optical/rear electrical shelf assembly if
you require front or rear access electrical connections, respectively.
Note 2: This document uses OME6500 shelf when describing features
common to all variants of the shelf.

3-2 Preparing for installation
Optical shelf components

The OME6500 optical shelf (10 U) (see Figure 3-1) houses the following
components:
• access panel— provides external synchronization input and output,
telemetry, alarms, and data communication (DTE and Ethernet) interfaces
• common equipment, such as the shelf processor, maintenance interface
card (MIC), cross-connect circuit packs, and power input cards (breakered
or breakerless)
• optical interface circuit packs and circuit packs, which can use optical
small-form factor pluggable (SFP) modules or STM-1e SFP modules
• fiber routing channel (see Note)—provides management of fibers to and
from the optical interfaces
Note: On the optical shelf, the fiber routing channel is integrated with an
air plenum.
Figure 3-1
OME6500 optical shelf (example shows the SDH access panel)
OME0070p.tif
323-1851-
The components of the cooling unit are:

• cooling unit chassis
• grill assembly
• three fans
Note: The OME6500 supports flexible cooling configurations, which
include front, rear, and top venting. Each venting option requires different
fan modules. For engineering rules regarding the venting options, see the
chapter on ordering information and system engineering rules in the
Planning Guide, NTRN10BC.
When in operation, the OME6500 shelf dissipates heat by forced air

convection. If the shelf shares the equipment frame with other equipment,
make sure that the other equipment does not interfere with the supply of room
temperature air to the shelf. Make sure that the other equipment does not vent
its heated exhaust air into the shelf air intake area. The air plenum prevents
heated exhaust air from one shelf from entering the shelf above.
Optical/front electrical shelf components

The OME6500 optical/front electrical shelf (18 U) (see Figure 3-2) houses the
following components:
or breakerless)
• electrical interface circuit packs
• fiber routing channel—provides management of fibers to and from the
optical interfaces
• electrical interface chassis (optical/front electrical shelf only)—The
electrical interface chassis houses the electrical interface modules.
Note: An air plenum is not required on the optical/front electrical shelf, as
air is drawn from the bottom of the shelf through the electrical interface
chassis.

• grill assembly
• three fans

Procedure 4-7
Installing the OME6500 shelf and the access panel
Use this procedure to install the OME6500 shelf in a 19-in., 23-in., or ETSI
equipment rack. The OME6500 shelf consists of multiple pieces that you must
integrate to make the shelf complete, as follows:
• for the optical and the optical/front electrical shelf - the card cage and the
cooling unit
• for the optical/rear electrical shelf - the card cage, the cooling unit, and the
air plenum
See:
• Figure 4-16 on page 4-52 for an illustration of the optical shelf
• Figure 4-17 on page 4-53 for an illustration of the optical/front electrical
shelf
• Figure 4-18 on page 4-54 for an illustration of the optical/rear electrical
shelf
The shelf is shipped with the circuit packs and cards in place. This procedure
also describes how to remove the shipping bracket that secures the various
pieces of equipment in place.
Note: The illustrations show various pieces of equipment installed in their

respective locations relative to the OME6500 shelf. Some of these pieces
of equipment are installed as part of this procedure (for example, cooling
unit, access panel), while others will be installed in procedures that follow
(for example, power input cards, maintenance interface card, line circuit
packs).
Also use this procedure to install the access panel. Access panel variants are:
• SDH access panel (NTK505LA) - see Figure 4-21 on page 4-57
• SONET/J-SDH access panel (NTK505MA) - see Figure 4-22 on page 4-57
Depending on your requirements, the card cage, the cooling unit, the air
plenum, and mounting bracket kits are shipped in different packaging options.
In all cases, you must integrate the card cage and the cooling unit, the air
plenum and the mounting bracket kits, respectively, to make the shelf
complete.
For a raised floor (through-floor) application, install the OME6500 shelves

from the bottom of the rack up to maximize space for routing cables coming
through the floor. For an overhead application, install the OME6500 shelves
from the top of the rack down to maximize space for routing cables that come
off the cable racks.

Step Action
Testing power to the shelf equipped with breakerless power input cards
6 Turn on the circuit breakers at the secondary power distribution panel to the
BIP.
7 Identify on the BIP the circuit breakers that connect the power cables to the
A and B feeds on the OME6500 shelf you are installing. See the following
illustrations for the location of the circuit breakers on the BIP:
• Figure 4-10 on page 4-36 for the 1 U BIP
• Figure 4-11 on page 4-37 for the 2 U BIP
8 Turn on the BIP circuit breakers you identified for the A feed in step 7.
9 Using a DVM, measure the voltage at the test points on the power input
card A in reference to ground. See Figure 4-26 on page 4-67 for the location
of the test points on the breakerless power input card. DVM readings must be
as indicated in the following table.
Power cable Nominal system value DVM reading (V dc)
(V dc) (see Note)
Feed (A or B) (L-) -48 -52 to -54.6
Feed (A or B) (L-) -60 approximately -60
Battery return (L+) 0 approximately 0
Note: The values measured by the DVM must correspond to the float
voltage of the connected power plant. The values in this column are typical.
If the values indicated by the DVM are not correct, the cables are incorrectly
wired. Verify that the power cables are terminated correctly at the BIP. If the
power cables are correctly terminated, you must replace the power cable
assembly.
10 Check that the LEDs on the fan units turn green and that the units are
functioning.
11 Turn off the BIP circuit breakers you identified for the A feed in step 7.
12 Repeat step 8 to step 11 for the B feed and the B power input card.
13 Turn off the circuit breakers at the secondary power distribution panel to the
BIP.
You have completed this procedure.


Step Action
Testing power to the shelf equipped with breakered power input cards
14 Attach the connectorized ends of the power cable assemblies to the
respective power input cards A and B. For illustrations of the power cable
assemblies, see Figure 4-30 on page 4-70 and Figure 4-31 on page 4-70
(depending on the cable you are using). Use a torque wrench to verify that
torque has been applied correctly: 5 lb-in.
15 Turn on the power source for power input card A.
16 Turn on the breaker on power input card A.
17 Check that the green POWER OK LED on the power input card is solid green.
If the green LED does not turn on, possible causes are ground short-circuit
or reverse polarity. You must power down the system, then remove the power
cable before you troubleshoot further.
18 Check that the LEDs on the fan units turn green and that the units are
functioning.
19 Turn off the breaker on the power input card.
20 Turn off the power source for the power input card A.
21 Repeat step 15 to step 20 for power input card B.

Procedure 4-10
Connecting control and communication cables to the
OME6500 shelf
Use this procedure to connect the following cables to the access panel of the
OME6500 shelf:
• ESI/ESO
• telemetry input/output (I/O)
• shelf alarms
• DTE
• ILAN and COLAN
The access panel variants are:
• SDH access panel (NTK505LA) - see Figure 4-21 on page 4-57 and Figure
4-35 on page 4-76
• SONET/J-SDH access panel (NTK505MA) - see Figure 4-22 on page 4-57
and Figure 4-36 on page 4-77
For cable and connector specifications, see Chapter 7, “Cable and connector
details”.
Note: The interfaces described in this procedure are intended for

intrabuilding use only.
Precautions
CAUTION
packs.
Step Action
1 Verify the compatibility of your shelf alarm and telemetry I/O interfaces. See
Figure 4-32 on page 4-73, Figure 4-33 on page 4-74, and Figure 4-34 on
page 4-75.


Connecting control and communication cables to the OME6500 shelf
Step Action
2 On the access panel, connect, torque the fixing pins (where applicable) to
5 lb-in., and route the following cables to the left:
• ESI/ESO (75 ohms unbalanced and 120 ohms balanced)
• DTE
• alarms
• telemetry
For locations of the respective connectors on the access panel, see Figure
4-35 on page 4-76 (SDH access panel) or Figure 4-36 on page 4-77
(SONET/J-SDH access panel).
3 On the access panel, connect the following cables as applicable to your
application. See Figure 4-35 on page 4-76. Route the cables to the right.
• the intershelf cables to connectors ILAN IN and ILAN OUT—Route these
cables to the right.
• the COLAN cable to the COLAN-A or the COLAN-X connectors, as
applicable—Route these cables to the right.
If you plan to move to a redundant shelf processor (SP) and a redundant
DCN connection, use the direct SP LAN port. Otherwise, use the
switched LAN port.
Note 1: If you set the OME6500 LAN port configuration to Automatic,

auto-negotiation and automatic medium-dependent interface cross-over
(auto-MDIX) are enabled. Auto-negotiation automatically senses the
speed/mode settings of the link. Auto-MDIX automatically the type of cable
that is connected to the port.
If you set the LAN port configuration to Automatic, the link works with either
a straight-through or cross-over cable and the LAN port will behave as a DCE
or DTE depending on what it is connected to. If the LAN port configuration is
not set to Automatic, the LAN port is a DCE and requires a cross-over cable.
For more information, see the chapter on communications management in
Provisioning and Operating Procedures, 323-1851-310.
Note 2: COLAN-B will be used in a future release.

Follow this procedure to route the optical fibers from the OMX 4CH + fiber
manager tray through the fiber management trough below the card cage of the
OME6500 shelf. Consult your system diagram for site-specific details.
Precautions
When installing the OME6500 shelves and equipment within a new or existing
rack, it is the customer’s responsibility to provide fiber management. When the
customer’s fiber management requirements are not specified, Nortel Networks
recommends that split flex tubing be used to route and secure fibers.
If you are using split flex tubing to route and secure fiber-optic cables, secure
the split flex tubing approximately every 12-inches (30.5 cm) to the transverse
arms of the equipment rack using lacing cord or wax string.
CAUTION
Invisible laser radiation
The Optical Multiservice Edge 6500 operates up to a hazard
level of k x 3A. Use only viewing instruments with proper
optical attenuation.
CAUTION
Make sure that the bulkhead connectors are lowered and
snapped into place before closing any drawers. Failure to do so
could cause damage to the connector unit, the fibers attached to
the connector unit, or both.

Procedure 5-5
Guidelines for routing fiber-optic cables in the fiber
manager
Follow these guidelines when you are routing slack fiber through the fiber
manager.
Precautions
CAUTION
Risk of insufficient fiber slack
Be sure the fiber manager, and the drawer from which the fiber
is being routed, are fully open before you begin to route the
fiber around the fiber manager spools. You must leave
sufficient slack in the fiber so that you can open the drawers
without stretching the fiber.
CAUTION
Risk of fiber damage
Each fiber manager can manage a maximum of 16 fibers. Each
fiber spool in the drawer can manage 1.6 meters of fiber
(maximum 3-mm diameter). Do not stretch the fiber, or wrap
the fiber on the spools too tightly, or you risk damaging the
fiber.
CAUTION
Risk of affecting network reliability
You must always clean fiber connectors before you make

Guidelines for routing fiber

Guideline Detail
1 Make sure every fiber is labeled.
2 Follow the bend radius rule when you route fiber.

Do not exceed a 1.18-inch (30-mm) bend radius when you coil or bend
fiber.
3 Fibers coming into the fiber manager from the left side should be routed
around the spools on the left side of the drawer.
Fibers coming into the fiber manager from the right side should be
routed around the spools on the right side of the drawer.
Nortel Networks recommends that fibers enter and exit the fiber
manager on the same side.
4 Route the fiber on the spools in the following order:

front spools ->bottom to top
rear spools ->bottom to top
5 Label each flip-up spool in the fiber manager.
6 Use curly locks or Velcro cable ties to bundle the fibers entering and
exiting the fiber manager.
Figure 5-10 on page 5-23 illustrates how to route slack fiber around the spools
in the fiber manager. Figure 5-11 on page 5-24 illustrates how to bundle the
fibers.

Procedure 5-10
Connecting alarm control and communication cables
to the DS1 service module
Use this procedure to connect the following cables to the DS1 service module:
• environmental input/output (I/O)
• OAM alarms
• RS-232
For cable and connector specifications, see the ordering chapter in the

CAUTION
packs.
Step Action
1 Verify the compatibility of the DS1 service module alarm and environmental
I/O interfaces.
See:
• Figure 5-25 on page 5-52 for environmental inputs
• Figure 5-26 on page 5-53 for environmental outputs
• Figure 5-27 on page 5-54 for alarm relays
• Figure 5-28 on page 5-55 for the DSM environmental alarm pinout
Note 1: Figure 5-25 on page 5-52 is an example of a circuit of environmental
input connections using a relay interface. Environmental inputs are active low.
To drive one of the inputs low, the control circuit must short it to one of the
environmental ground pins. You can use one ground pin for up to three inputs.
Note 2: Figure 5-26 on page 5-53 is an example of a circuit of environmental
output connections. Each environmental output pin connects to a normally
open (NO) relay contact on the LOAM. Connect the common contacts on the
output relays to the common return (RET) pins.


Connecting alarm control and communication cables to the DS1 service module

Note 3: Figure 5-27 on page 5-54 is an example circuit of shelf alarm relays.
The OAM alarm pins connect to relays under the control of the shelf
processor. When the shelf processor activates an alarm relay, the normally
open line connects to the common line and the normally closed (NC) line
disconnects from the common line. The NC, NO, and common lines for each
shelf alarm relay are isolated from each other, the shelf ground, and the shelf
battery return.
2 On the OAM adapter module, wire wrap the following pins as required:
• environmental I/O
• OAM alarms

Cleaning connectors 6-
This chapter describes how to clean fiber-optic connectors. Nortel Networks
recommends that you always clean fiber-optic connectors before connecting to
transmission equipment, test equipment, patch panels, or other connectors.
Connector cleaning:
• ensures that fiber-optic assemblies work at their correct power level, by
removing any dust or particles that could lead to optical power attenuation
• prevents damage to alignment sleeves and adapter housings
Precautions
CAUTION
malfunction.
CAUTION
Do not look into the end of fiber-optic connectors or into
faceplate connectors of installed circuit packs. The light source
used in fiber-optic devices can damage your eyes.

6-2 Cleaning connectors
CAUTION
Risk of connectors contamination
To reduce the risk of oil contamination on connectors, do not
use commercial compressed air or hose air when cleaning
connectors and receptacles. Always use canned compressed
gas to remove excess dust and dirt.
Do the appropriate cleaning process before re-mating

connectors with their receptacles.
To prevent contamination, make sure you cover the optical

faceplate connectors of all installed circuit packs and all the
unconnected fiber connector ferrules with dust caps.
To avoid applying any oil from your fingers or other

contaminants to the end face of the ferrule, handle connectors
carefully.
DANGER
Wear safety glasses when you work with the canned
compressed gas to avoid getting dust in your eyes.
Wear safety glasses when working with isopropyl alcohol.

Isopropyl alcohol can cause eye irritation on contact.
To avoid extended inhalation of alcohol vapors, use only small

amounts of alcohol and work in a clean and ventilated area.
To avoid direct skin contact with the isopropyl alcohol and to

avoid contaminating the ferrules with skin oils, it is preferable
to wear vinyl gloves.
CAUTION
Risk of signal degradation
Do not allow the solvent to dry on the ferrule. Dried solvent
leaves a residual film on ferrule surfaces that prevents the
fiber-optic assembly from working correctly.
