GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU
General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software
and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make
sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you
receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs;
and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny
you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the
rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them
these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for
this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they
have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributes of a
free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have
made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may
be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work,
and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The
act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a
work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on
what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided
that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty;
keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any
change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program
or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for
such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright
notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself
is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print
an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its
terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of
who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent
is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to
be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative
is allowed only for non-commercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with
such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to
modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this
License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or
works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a
license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may
not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.You are not responsible for
enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent
issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of
this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License
would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to
apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity
of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system,
which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of
software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to
decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This
section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time.
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License
which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or
of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write
to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving
the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM,
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED
ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY OU OR
THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH
HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Warning: Any service to the system should be performed by personnel qualified to work with distributed
power systems.
Operating Temperature
• When the system's outlet air temperature is below 60 degrees Celsius (60 °C), the temperature
is normal. The system continues to work normally.
• When the outlet air temperature reaches 60 degrees Celsius (60 °C), a warning appears in the
GUI. The system continues to work normally.
• When the outlet air temperature reaches 80 degrees Celsius (80 °C), the system performs an
“Emergency Shut Down.” All internal power rails are turned off except for the cooling fan
power rails and a minimal housekeeping power rail. The “STS” LED turns amber. If the outlet
air temperature falls to under 60 degrees Celsius (60 °C), the system automatically reboots.
• When the outlet air temperature reaches 110 degrees Celsius (110 °C), the system performs a
“Fire Shut Down.” All internal power rails are turned off including the cooling fan power rails.
The minimal housekeeping power rail is not turned off. The “STS” LED blinks amber. When
in this state, power cycle the unit.
Power Source
The CAP-1000 accepts one or two power modules that regulate the input power supplied via the
power cord. The protective grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
Follow these precautions when operating the power module:
• Do not use a power cord in poor condition.
• Do not connect to power source using 2-pin adapter plug.
• Do not use extension cords.
• Remove all power cords to service and/or shut down power from the unit.
Safety Requirements
• If the CAP-1000 is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature. Therefore,
install the CAP-1000 in an environment where the maximum ambient temperature does not
exceed the CAP-1000 ratings.
• Rack-mount the CAP-1000 in a manner in which a hazardous condition is not created due to
uneven mechanical loading.
• Before installation, evaluate the connection of the CAP-1000 to the supply circuit and the
effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Use the CAP-1000 nameplate ratings during evaluation.
• Maintain reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment.
• Mount the CAP-1000 using the rear support brackets shipped with the chassis, or your own
rear support brackets. The warranty for the product will be voided if the CAP-1000 is mounted
without rear support.
• Install the CAP-1000 in a restricted access location, for example, a closed room. Only
authorized personnel should be provided access to the restricted area.
Warnings
• All CAP-1000 chassis shipments include a U.S. power cord. Use only the power cord
specified for your system and location.
• The battery on the CAP-1000 chassis should be changed by authorized personnel only.
• The IO Adapter, DSP module, and VIO cards are not hot-swappable in this chassis.
• Do not power up the CAP-1000 without the License Guard and Data Flash installed. The

IOA LEDs
IMPORTANT For proper operation of the CAP-1000, the chassis requires one DSP module and one IOA at all times.
4 Eject the old IOA out of the slot by pressing both ejector levers outwards and removing the card
from the system.
5 Remove the new IOA from its shipping package. Hold the IOA by the edges only. Do not touch the
surface of the IOA or connector pins.
6 Slide the IOA slowly into the slot.
7 Make sure that the ejector levers are on the outside edge of the IO Adapter, and are flush with the
side of the faceplate.
8 Press firmly on the faceplate to seat the IOA connector into the receiving connectors in the chassis.
9 Tighten the captive mounting screws to complete the installation.
Requirements
To ensure correct operation of the CAP-1000, use only the ARRIS-supplied License Guard and
Data Flash (Part No. CAP1-FRU-KEYKIT). Match the serial numbers printed on the License
Guard and Data Flash before installing in the chassis. The serial numbers on the License Guard
and Data Flash have to be identical, and both must be installed in the same chassis.
Constraints
When the License Guard is physically removed from the CAP-1000 device, the following
behaviors are triggered:
• The Controller generates an error code (50114047) and an alarm, “License Guard Not
Present,” displays in the Alarm window of the CherryPicker Element Manager.
• If same License Guard is plugged back in within 30 minutes, the alarm is cleared and nothing
is affected in the CAP-1000.
• If a different License Guard is plugged in, all existing licenses are removed from the device.
You’ll need to enter license keys issued for the license guard that has been plugged in. The
CAP-1000 will need to be reconfigured.
• If 30 minutes have passed and no License Guard is plugged in, the CAP-1000 stops the MPEG
traffic on all output multiplexes. It will also disable any potential CherryPicker Redundancy
(CPR) protection from a backup device and prevent re-enabling the MPEG traffic. When the
same License Guard is plugged back into the device, the MPEG traffic resumes as well as the
CPR protection, if any.
WARNING Removing the Data Flash while the CAP-1000 is powered on may corrupt the Data Flash.
2 Ensure that the serial numbers printed on the License Guard and Data Flash match before
installing them in the chassis.
The License Guard contains a license ID that corresponds to the licenses installed on the Data
Flash. The serial numbers on the License Guard and Data Flash must be identical, and both must
be installed in the same chassis.
3 Insert the License Guard in the License Guard slot. Either orientation of the License Guard can be
used.
NOTE If the License Guard stops working, flip it over and insert it upside-down into the License Guard slot.
License Guard
Data Flash
WARNING Do not power up the CAP-1000 without the License Guard and Data Flash installed. The system will
not operate correctly without access to the License Guard and Data Flash.
Ethernet Ports
The Ethernet ports are used for remote control of the CAP-1000 by either an application running
on a remote host, an SNMP manager, an external ad server, or technical personnel performing
remote troubleshooting.

Do not touch the surface of the DSP module.
6 Slide the DSP module slowly into the slot on the front of the chassis.
7 Make sure that the ejector levers are on the outside edge of the DSP module, and are flush with the
side of the faceplate.
8 Press firmly on the faceplate to seat the DSP module’s connector into the receiving connectors in
the chassis.
9 Tighten the captive mounting screws to complete the installation.
Fan Tray
Fan trays are hot-swappable and can be serviced during normal operation. Only one fan tray
should be removed from the chassis at any one time. If both are removed, the system will stop
operating to protect itself from possible damage.
Fully-functional fan trays display a green indicator. Fan trays with failing fans trigger alarms and
display orange indicators. They should be replaced. Fan speed is checked at system startup and
daily thereafter.
If a fan tray has multiple failing fans, the system will consider it non-viable and run all remaining
fans in both fan trays at full speed to compensate. This triggers a "critical" alarm. The system shuts
down immediately if it doesn't have at least one viable fan tray. A fan tray with multiple failing
fans should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid a service interruption.
The following error codes can display in the Alarms window of the CherryPicker Element
Manager:
Refer to the Alarms chapter in the CAP-1000 Software Guide for information on managing alarms.
3 Remove the fan tray handle and cover with a screwdriver. Save these items.

This chapter provides troubleshooting and maintenance information. It covers the following
topics:
• Rebooting the System
• Changing the Root Linux Password
• Connecting to the CAP-1000 using Telnet
• Connecting to the CAP-1000 using HyperTerminal
• Diagnostics Interface
Diagnostics Interface
The Diagnostics Interface (DI) is used for system troubleshooting. It can be used in the headend
where a CAP-1000 is installed, or it can be used remotely by ARRIS Technical Assistance Center.
The diagnostics interface bypasses the CAP-1000 CherryPicker Element Manager (GUI), the front
panel, and an SNMP Manager (if used), and communicates directly with the operating system and
application software.
The CAP-1000 provides the following physical connections for diagnostics:
• Ethernet
• Serial Console
The Ethernet connection is the most flexible; it allows both local and remote troubleshooting. Any
firewalls installed at your site, however, may restrict access to the network from outside.
Connected directly to another computer, a terminal emulation application such as HyperTerminal
will allow the ARRIS Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to log in and run diagnostics. This
configuration is appropriate only for on-site troubleshooting. The key benefit of using the console
port for diagnostics is that it is the only interface that allows system monitoring and interactions
during an Operating System reboot.
