Functional Description
General
The SB-REM is a shelf-based equipment in which all the items are plug-in units (fan unit,
Line Termination (LT) board, splitter board, combined LT/splitter board and
PSU/control board).
The SB-REM can be deployed in different variants mainly depending on the embedded
LT and splitter board types, but also depending on the optical link type, fan unit type,
PSU unit type and bracket type.
The SB-REM is a shelf with 4 slot positions and 1 fan unit position.
• Position 1 is equipped with a splitter board except when combined LT/splitter boards
are used in the LT positions, in that case a dummy front plate has to be installed..
• Position 2 is always equipped with an LT board or a combined LT/splitter board
(LT1).
• Position 3 can be equipped with an LT board or a combined LT/splitter board (LT2).
If no board is equipped in this position, a dummy front plate has to be installed.
• Position 4 is always equipped with a controller board.
Note 1 — If the SB-REM is equipped with an AC-powered controller

board, then no LT board can be placed in position 3
Note 2 — When only one LT board or combined LT/splitter board is used,
this board must be mounted in position 2.
The number of slot positions can be extended to 5 slots by mounting a splitter extension
box above or below the SB-REM. An additional splitter board can be housed in this
splitter extension box.
Interconnections between the controller board in slot 4 and the other slot positions are
made via the backplane.

Fan Unit
A separate position is reserved for the fan unit. Control of the fan unit is done from the
controller board. For this purpose 12V fan power, signals for fan speed control and tacho
feedback signals are implemented. A “fan present” and “fan ID” signal inform the
controller of the presence of the fan.
Note — An LT board and operational SW is required for making the

environmental alarms work.
See the NRFU-A Unit Data Sheet (UDS) for more information about the fan unit.
Controller Board
Power is applied to the SB-REM via the controller board:
• The DC-powered controller (NRCD-A or NRCD-B) is a board with a single slot
height (occupying slot position 4).
• The AC-powered controller (NRCA-A) is a board with a double slot height
(occupying slot positions 3 and 4).

Next to the power input the controller board has the following external features:
• Alarm I/O interface
• On/Off Switch
• Alarm Cut-Off (ACO) switch
• LEDs for ACO, Fan alarm, Alarm, System, and Power
• Two SFP interfaces
• RJ-45 Fast Ethernet Interface
• Craft interface
Note — See the NRCD-A or NRCD-B UDS for more information about
the DC-powered controller board or the NRCA-A UDS for more
information about the AC-powered controller board.

The SB-REM equipment is qualified as a Class I, meaning that protection against electric
shock is achieved by:
• using BASIC INSULATION
• providing a means of connection to the PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTOR
in the building wiring those conductive parts that are otherwise capable of assuming
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES if the BASIC INSULATION fails
The SB-REM equipment complies with the following product power and grounding
requirements:
• IEC 60950-1 (2005) Information technology equipment - Safety - Part 1: General
requirements, section 2.6.3.4.
Classification of Laser Modules
Normal Laser Operation

The Optical Fibre Communication System (OFCS) as used in the SB-REM consists of a
laser transmitter module and an optical receiver. For connection to the external optical
cable system, optical connectors have been provided at the front panel of the controller
board for GE links.
In normal operation, the laser transmitter is closed by the optical connector and the
external optical fibre. Laser radiation is always present when the laser unit is powered on,
limited to max. 1mW.
Laser Classification
The laser products used in the SB-REM are considered as Class I lasers and comply with
the Class 1 limits of IEC 60825-1 and EN 60825-1

LED Classification
According to IEC60825-1, LEDS do not exceed the accessible emission limit of class 1
under all conditions of operation, maintenance, service and failure.
Warning — Risk of skin burns when in contact with hot parts!
Skin (fingers) can get burns when touching the case of hot devices.
Warning — Risk of eye damage by laser radiation
Eyes can get damaged when they are exposed to a laser beam.
Observe the laser explanatory label, before plugging in the module.
The warning label and the classification label on a laser product:
Figure 2-5 Laser Warning Labels on System with Laser Product(s)
Laser Class xx
Laser warning label Laser classification label
Location Class
According to IEC60825-2, the laser device, when mounted in the rack, is classified as a
“hazard level 1" product.
The fibre cables pass through the bottom (or top) rack entrance. The use of cable supports
and guides protects the receptacles from strain.
The SB-REM equipment is placed in controlled locations only (telecom areas) which
implies that activities inside the racks must be executed by trained maintenance
personnel only. Direct viewing of the laser beam is only possible with a disconnected
fibre in an open rack.

Equipment Protection
Electro Static Discharge

Devices and assemblies that are susceptible to ESD are labelled or tagged with the ESD
awareness symbol (Figure 2-6).
Figure 2-6 ESD Awareness Label
The necessary precautions must be taken to discharge operating personnel by the use of
approved discharge straps/links and a conductive layer on the exchange floor. The
maximum resistance to discharge must be 1 MΩ.
Precautions
The following precautions must be observed:
• Wear an antistatic wristband when:
• Replacing xDSL plug-in units
• Operating circuit breakers in the rack
• The ESD awareness label (Figure 2-6) is present.
In the rack earth bonding points for the wristband are provided at spots with the label
shown in Figure 2-7.
Figure 2-7 Label for Earth Bonding Point
• Do not wear or use clothes made of wool, nylon or any synthetic material.
Such fabrics are major sources of static build-up.
• When handling boards, do not use gloves and finger covers, unless they are made of
cotton.
• Always handle the boards by the edges.
Do not touch conductor paths with fingers or palms.
• The antistatic wristband and connection cord must be removed from the rack after use,
they must not be left inside the rack when not used.

2.3 Fuse Rating
This section gives the power rating of the fuses used in:
• the controller boards in the SB-REM
• the plug-in units in the SB-REM
Warning 1 — Electrical shock hazard due to battery voltage present at

connectors.
Risk of personnel injury at unintentional contact with backpanel
connectors. The service personnel has to be protected against the battery
voltage present on the backpanel connectors.
Before removing the AC- or DC-powered controller board from the
subrack, switch off the circuit breaker feeding that subrack.
Warning 2 — Risk of malfunctioning due to replacement with wrong
fuse.
Applying fuses on plug-in units with ratings different from the prescribed
ratings could result in damage to the equipment. Always replace with
fuses which have the prescribed rating.
Fuses on the Controller Boards

Warning — Related to the high operating temperature, hot surfaces are

possible. Please use gloves when doing any action on the SB-REM system
when an indication exists that the system has been operating at high
environment temperature before any maintenance action is initiated.
The SB-REM is intended for MDU/FTTB as well as cabinet deployment, and is therefore
compliant with ETS EN300-019 environmental class 3.4.

The following two deployment options exist:

• Deployment without dust filter (default scenario, for example cabinet deployment):
in this case, the class 3.4 requirements mentioned above are met, with additional
support for a single fan failure up to inlet temperatures of 50° C (meaning: no
shutdown or other service or functional impact in case of a single fan failure below
50° C).
• Deployment with dust filter (for example, targeting MDU deployment):
in this case, the class 3.4 requirements mentioned above are met, with additional
support for a single fan failure up to inlet temperatures of 25° C (meaning: no
shutdown or other service or functional impact in case of a single fan failure below
25° C).
Shock and Vibration

The SB-REM complies to:
• ETSI EN 300 019-2-3 Class 3.4 Stationary Class 3M5
• ETSI EN 300 019-2-4 Class 4.1 Random vibration class 4M5

enhanced availability of service in specific applications (compliant with class B).

2.6 Acoustic Noise
• The SB-REM complies to table B.2 (stationary equipment used in non-weather

protected locations) of ETSI EN 300 753:
• Day-time limits for L WAd: Class 4.1; Rural area: 6,1 Bels = 61 dBA
• Night-time limits for L WAd: Class 4.1 at 15°C; Rural area: 5,6 Bels = 56 dBA
• The SB-REM must be mounted in an external enclosure so compliance with “Bijlage
2.2.1” of the Vlarem II Flemish legislation is achieved:
• Day-time limits for L WAd: Rural area: 40 dBA
• Evening-time limits for L WAd: Rural area: 35 dBA
• Night-time limits for L WAd: Rural area: 35 dBA
• The SB-REM must be mounted in an external enclosure so compliance with the more
stringent value of 30 dBA at SB-REM air inlet temperature between -5°C and +45°C
and without fan failure is achieved.
Note — For the last two requirements:
Since the SB-REM unit itself is generating an acoustic noise level of

50dB(A) at 25°C, the external enclosure must be designed as such that it
bridges the gap for the last two requirements.
2.7 ITU-T K.20/K.45 Compliance
• The SB-REM is compliant to the ITU-T K.20 and ITU-T K.45 specifications for the
full unit.

Attention
When installing units, pay attention to the following:
Warning 1 — Possibility of equipment damage due to electrostatic
discharge. Keep the plug-in unit in its original package until the unit is
ready to be installed.
Warning 2 — Units contain static-sensitive devices. These devices are
susceptible to electrostatic discharge damage in unconnected circuit
conditions. Appropriate antistatic procedures should always be followed
when installing or removing plug-in units.
Caution — Possibility of service interruption. Do not touch circuit traces

or components. Handle the units at the front and side edges only.
Dummy Front Panels

Dummy front panels must be mounted on any unused slot of the SB-REM for the
following purposes:
• to ensure EMC compliance
• to ensure thermal compliance via a correct airflow in the SB-REM
• to ensure safety by avoiding direct contact with backplane connectors
• to allow MDF pre-cabling towards LT boards or splitter boards when needed.
At slot deployment, the dummy front plate is replaced by the appropriate board and
the MDF cables are connected to the board.
Figure 4-1 shows the universal dummy front panel for the SB-REM. Two variants exist:
• 3FE 61074 BA: FD universal dummy front panel without EMC gasket for 48-pair
cable and 72-pair cable deployment
• 3FE 61074 BB: FD universal dummy front panel with EMC gasket for 48-pair cable
and 72-pair cable deployment

Figure 4-1 Universal Dummy Front Panel for 7302 FD Subrack and FD Splitter Subrack
The dummy front panel is equipped with two universal plastic cut-outs; see Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2 Universal Plastic Cut-out
The universal plastic cut-out allows the mounting of either 48-pair connectors or 72-pair
connectors:
• 48-pair connectors can be fixed using the snap hooks A and C in Figure 4-2. The

5.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the procedures to connect the different cables to the SB-REM.
Caution — Risk of EMC disturbance when MDF cables are not shielded.
When MDF cables have no or insufficient shielding, the xDSL and POTS
(or ISDN) signals carried could suffer from EMC disturbance, certainly
when mixing different xDSL signal types (for example, xDSL over POTS
with xDSL over ISDN or SHDSL).
To comply with EMC, it is recommended to:
• Apply shielded LINE and POTS cables between the MDF and the
SB-REM (Alcatel-Lucent always provides shielded cables).
• Connect, if possible, the shielding of each MDF cable to Ground at
MDF end.
Table 5-1 shows the procedures which are applicable for the different configurations of
the SB-REM.

DC Power Connector
The ISAM 7356 SB-REM operates with nominal voltage levels of -48Vdc as well as
-60Vdc supplied by battery power sources in the CO or cabinet. In line with ETSI
specification ETS EN 300 132-2 V2, this means that the maximum allowed BAT voltage
level is -40.5Vdc, while the minimum allowed BAT voltage level is -72Vdc. These
voltage levels refer to the power entry point of the ISAM system (this is the 7356 shelf
power connection point).
Power is provided to the SB-REM by connecting four power feeds between a
-48 Vdc/-60 Vdc power source and the SB-REM.
The DC power connector on the SB-REM is a double-feed two-position filtered terminal
block on the right-front of the SB-REM. The power connectors accommodate four power
feeds, two for each battery (BAT A and RET A, BAT B and RET B), with each feed
having its own connector.

Fiber Guiding Kit

When the SB-REM is mounted with asymmetric ETSI brackets and one or more Ethernet
LT boards are mounted in the SB-REM, then a fiber guiding kit must be mounted on the
SB-REM.
The fiber guiding kit (3FE 61087 CA) consists of:
• one metallic bracket for optical cables
• two plastic bend controls: one bend control must be mounted per equipped Ethernet
LT board.
Procedure 5-10 Mounting the Fiber Guiding Kit
Proceed as follows:
1 Mount the metallic bracket; see Figure 5-28:
i Loosen the front screws (3 mm)
ii Insert the metallic bracket
iii Tighten the screws.

Bracket
2 Before inserting the bend control(s), cut all the bridges as shown in Figure 5-29.
Figure 5-29 Cut Bridges
Cut bridges here
3 Insert the plastic bend control(s) in the metallic cable fingers as shown in Figure 5-30.
When inserting the plastic bend control(s), keep the two small tabs to the left of the
fingers of the bracket.
Note — One bend control must be installed per equipped Ethernet LT board.

Prerequisites
The following tools and equipment are required to connect the optical cables:
• tie wraps
• Alcatel-Lucent-approved optical Fast Ethernet SFP module
• optical cable with LC connector for connecting to the Ethernet LT board (use standard
optical cable types)

susceptible to static discharge damage in unconnected circuit conditions.
Appropriate antistatic procedures should always be followed when
installing or removing units and cables.
Warning 2 — Verify that cables are secure.
Warning 3 — Re-install dust caps when the optic interface is not

connected.
Caution — Avoid sharp bends in optical cables. Use the proper bend
radius when installing optical cables.
Procedure 5-11 Installing an SFP Module and Connecting an Optical

Fast Ethernet Cable
Proceed as follows:
2 Install the SFP module in the SFP connector as follows:
i Align the SFP module with the optical Fast Ethernet port and slide it into the port
until it clicks into place.
ii Remove the rubber cap from the SFP module.
Note — The SFP module can only be removed when the pull-down bar is
released.
3 Route the optical cable to the right of the SB-REM and secure with tie wraps.
4 Route and connect the other end of the cable as per site practices.

5.12 Powering up the SB-REM
When all the cables have been connected, the SB-REM can be powered up.
The ON/OFF button is located on the controller board; see Figure 5-32.
