New in this Release and About this Guide
New in Release 10.0

PSW-100G2W line card: The PSW-100G2W packet line card is a 2x100G module with the same
feature set as other line cards in the PSW platform but with two coherent 100G interfaces using
WaveLogic Nano (WL3n) technology. The module is a high-capacity switch module for aggregating
and grooming Ethernet services. The PSW-100G2W module is optimized for end-to-end packet
transport solutions. The module supports standards-based Connection-Oriented Ethernet (COE) for
increased network performance and scale. See Shelf and Line Card Power starting on page 33 and
Z77 Shelf v2 – Line Card Installation Guidelines starting on page 74.
Note: The older model Z77 (with three fan tray modules per chassis) does NOT support the power
upgrade and therefore does NOT support the PSW-100G2W line card.
For descriptions of new features provided in CyOS Release 10.0, refer to the "New Release 10
Features" section in the Z-Series CyOS Release Notes 10.0 available in the portal library.
New in Release 9.0

Release 9.0 does not introduce new Z-Series equipment. For a description of new features provided
by Planet Operate, refer to "New Features in Planet Operate 16.03" in the Planet Operate Release
Notes 16.03 available in the portal library.
New in Release 8.0

Release 8.0 of the Z33 Installation and Safety Guide includes the following new modules:
• LME-10G10d: A new version of the LME-10G10 module, called the LME-10G10d (part number
800-138-02), supports configuration of the OSPF in-band management via the general
communications channel (GCC). All references to the LME-10G10 module in this guide also
refer to the LME10G10d; functionality is identical for these two modules, the only difference
is the LME-10G10d supports GCC. Refer to Shelf and Line Card Power starting on page 33,
Z77 Shelf v2 – Line Card Installation Guidelines starting on page 74, and Z77 – Line Card
Installation Guidelines starting on page 157.

• PSW-10G20: The Z-Series PSW-10G20 module is an Ethernet switching and transport module

solutions. The DTM-100G2 is fully compatible with existing Z-Series DWDM components
including LAD modules and WSS ROADM modules. This allows the mixing of 10G and 100G
waves over the same fiber. The DTM-100G2 module receives a C Form-Factor Pluggable
(CFP)-based 100 GbE and generates a 100 Gbps ITU grid wave. On the client side, the
DTM-100G2 module accepts either 100GE or OTU4 (GFEC). On the line side, the OTU4 is
encoded with either standard G.709 GFEC or a higher gain HG-FEC. CyOS 7.0 working in
conjunction with Planet Operate 15.02 provides non-revertive 1+1 optical protection groups
for DTM-100G2 optical ports. Optical protection groups, created in association with the
passive Transport Protection Module (TPM), provide reliable protection for facility and
hardware failures.

Alarm Cut-off (ACO)

The ACO LED only illuminates when you press the ACO button. It is a visual indicator to the operator
that audible indication of an alarm has been suppressed. After you have pressed the ACO button, if a
new alarm occurs within the system, the ACO LED clears (no illumination) returning to the beginning
of the ACO state machine and the audio alarm sounds again (indicating there is a newer alarm since
the ACO had been pressed). That is, for a new alarm, you still want the audible and then an operator
can press the ACO button again to suppress the audible.
Note that pressing the ACO does not remove the alarm conditions. An alarm condition does not
illuminate the ACO LED, but it does activate an audio alarm.
The ACO LED remains illuminated until the removal of all current/previous alarms. The LED does not
illuminate when:
• There are no alarms.
• A new alarm occurs AFTER the ACO button has been pushed to suppress a previous audio
alarm.

Z77 Shelf v2 – Installation Procedure

To install the Z77 shelf v2 in a rack, follow these steps.
Step 1
Verify that a proper fuse and alarm panel is installed in the top-most mounting space of the rack. If a
fuse and alarm panel is not present, install one according to manufacturer instructions.
Verify that eight fused circuits are available (four "A" circuits and four "B" circuits).
Important! — You must connect all eight circuits for proper operation. Failure to connect
all circuits may result in some slots not receiving rated power.
Step 2
Determine if the shelf will be flush-mounted or mid-mounted. The Z77 shelf v2 is pre-installed with
mid-mounting brackets for a 23" rack. If mid-mounting, go to step 3.
Note: Flush mounting will place the Z77 shelf v2 flush with the rack. Mid-mounting allows
the Z77 shelf v2 assembly to protrude out from the rack by either 5 or 9.5 inches.

If the shelf will be flush-mounted, do the following:

A. Remove the pre-installed mounting brackets from each side of the shelf assembly.
B. Move the mounting brackets to the front edge of the chassis. Use the #12-24 mounting
screws (five screws for each mounting bracket) to attach the mounting brackets to the left
and right flange of the shelf as shown in the photo on the left. Securely tighten all screws to
fasten each mounting bracket to the left and right flange of the chassis.
The photo on the right shows an example of the shelf flush-mounted.

plugged into the back panel of the shelf assembly. Make sure that you cannot
insert the module any further.

Z77 Shelf v2 Connections
This section describes timing, alarm, and management connections provided by the BOSS
Termination Module (BTM).
The BOSS Termination Module provides physical termination for the Z77 system alarm and
management interfaces supported by the BOSS (BOSS and BOSS2) cards. One BTM connects to both
BOSS cards simultaneously and uses two slots at the rear of the chassis. This allows either BOSS card
to serve as master and access all the physical connections to the system.
The BTM is primarily passive with the exception of some active components that switch each
interface between the BOSS slots. Active components include relays and opto-couplers used for
alarms, analog switches used for Ethernet ports, and a small EEPROM for inventory purposes.
Ports and connectors on the BTM include five types:
• System alarm outputs
• Environmental alarm inputs and outputs
• Timing inputs and outputs
• Ethernet ports (4)
• RS-232 port (reserved for future use)
The following table shows the BTM port / connection type, number / detail (inputs and outputs), and
physical connector types:
Port / Connection Type Number Connector Notes
7 – Outputs
Alarms Terminal Block 2 signals per port
6 - Inputs
2 – Outputs
Timing Terminal Block Each signal is a differential pair
4 - Inputs
Ethernet 4 RJ-45 Management / iLAN
RS-232 1 RJ-45 Reserved for future use

Figure 20: BTM (Front View)
You can remove each of the three terminal blocks for easier wiring.
The external alarm inputs and outputs are all software configurable.
Four Ethernet interfaces provide autosensing 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connectivity to the BOSS
cards. Typically, use MGMT1 to access the Data Communication Network (DCN) that is available over
the DWDM interfaces. You can use the DCN as a communication network for network management.
The management interface provides the following connectivity rates:
• 10Base-T Half Duplex, 10Base-T Full Duplex
• 1000Base-T Full Duplex
The iLAN Ethernet interfaces can also provide DCN connectivity and make use of OSPF routing
(iLAN-to-iLAN connection). The iLAN ports can also provide IP access to secondary shelves (Z22, Z33,
and other Z77 nodes).
Note: The RS-232 port provides an interface for future use. Currently, this port
should only be used by (or at the direction of) TAC personnel.

Installing BOSS or BOSS2 Cards in the Z77
Shelf v2
The Broadband Operating System Supervisor (BOSS) cards provide management and control
functions for the Z77. Each BOSS (BOSS or BOSS2) card connects to the rear-mounted BOSS
At least one BOSS or BOSS2 card is required in each Z77 shelf. A typical configuration has redundant
BOSS or BOSS2 controller cards. Slots 1 and 2 house redundant BOSS or BOSS2 controller cards.
Note: You must install the BTM before installing the BOSS or BOSS2 controller cards.
Important! — Do not mix BOSS and BOSS2 controller cards in the same Z77 shelf. It is
permissible to mix controller card types when upgrading from the BOSS to BOSS2 card,
but after the upgrade you must ensure that slots 1 and/or 2 are installed with BOSS2
controller cards.
In This Chapter
Z77 Shelf v2 – BOSS or BOSS2 Card Installation Procedure ................ 69

To install the BOSS (BOSS or BOSS2) cards, you need the following tools and equipment:
Tools
• None
Equipment
• One or two BOSS or BOSS2 controller cards
• Air Management Boards

Z77 Shelf v2 – BOSS or BOSS2 Card Installation

Procedure
The installation instructions pertain to both the BOSS and BOSS2 shelf controller cards. This section
of the user guide refers to both versions of the card as "BOSS."
To install a BOSS card, follow these steps.
Step 1
Open the ejector latch of the first BOSS card to install.
Step 2
Use the ejector latch to slide the card along the guide rails until the card plugs into the connectors at
the back of the slot on the mid-plane (slots 1 and 2).
Step 3
Verify that the card is inserted correctly and close the ejector latch on the card. The fans should
become substantially quieter within seconds as the shelf controller takes charge of the shelf
assembly.
Note: It is possible to close the ejector latch when the card is not completely
insert the card any further.

Step 4
A. Verify that the BOSS card boots properly via the LEDs at the top of the card. LED activity
during BOSS card installation is as follows:
• The power LED will be solid RED at power on for about 1 second.
• The power LED will then begin flashing AMBER as the card software and system services
are loaded (about 90 seconds).
• The power LED will then begin flashing GREEN as the card Operating System (CyOS) is
loaded.
B. After the CyOS is loaded to the BOSS card, all four of the card LEDs (power, alarm, active, and
sync) will momentarily flash.
C. The card is now fully operational. The LED activity should be as follows:
• Power — Solid GREEN.
• Active — Solid GREEN.
• Alarm — Not lit if there are no alarms. If there are alarms, the LED will be a solid color,
depending on the alarm severity.
• Sync — Solid BLUE.
Note: The alarm LEDs may illuminate depending upon the configuration of the
rest of the chassis (for example, the second BOSS has not been inserted). Check
alarm LEDs after shelf setup is complete.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the second BOSS card.

Refer to "Packet Card Interoperability" in the Packet Switching User Guide and the Z-Series Engineering
and Planning Guide.
Important! — An existing Z77 v2 (with two fan tray mdules per chassis) in the field requires
a power upgrade prior to installing the PSW-100G2W line card. For details on upgrading the
shelf power, see the Z77 Power Upgrade Guide (450-3708-701) available online in the Ciena
doc portal. After the shelf power upgrade, the Z77 v2 shelf can support up to eight
PSW-100G2W line cards. Note that the older model Z77 (with three fan tray modules per
chassis) does not support the power upgrade and therefore does not support the
PSW-100G2W line card.
LAD and WSS Slot Assignments

Ciena recommends you install LAD and WSS (WSS-402/WSS-404/WSS-F2/WSS-F4/WSS-F8) line cards
from right to left in the Z77 shelf.
Important! — If using an attenuator, place it on the Receive (RX) port of the LAD/WSS
line card. Do NOT place it on the Transmit (TX) port.
Line Card Slot Assignments

Ciena recommends that you install service line cards from left to right in the Z77 shelf.
If you install a single line card in an odd slot, give consideration as to whether to populate the
adjacent even slot or to leave the even slot open for future growth and/or protection of the line card.

Packet Card Interoperability

The following table shows the connectivity methods in regards to card-to-card compatibility
and interoperability of the Z-Series packet line cards for CyOS Release 10.0 and higher when
installed in a Z77 shelf.

The XC-2800 switch fabric modules installed in a Z77 shelf provide fabric connections for the
PSW-to-PSW and TSW-to-TSW line card connections. The XC-2800 modules also provide the dual
10GE backplane connectivity for the PME-to-PME connection for PME line card pairs. There is no
fabric or backplane connectivity between different card types — you must use front fiber jumpers to
interconnect these line cards.
In a Z77 shelf, you must install PME-412 line cards or PME-216i line cards in slots 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10,
11/12, 13/14, or 15/16 to operate as a card pair. A PME-412 line card must NOT be collocated within
the same card pair with a PME-216i line card.
Ring Closure Modules (RCMs) installed in a Z77 shelf also provide the backplane connectivity for PME
line card pairs. RCMs are passive modules located in an Electrical Fabric Module (EFM) slot of the Z77
shelf. RCMs provide connectivity without external patching between two PME-412 modules or two
PME-216i modules. RCM provide Link aggregation using multiple ports between a pair of PME-412
modules or PME-216i modules and A TESI Express connection using a pair of PME-412 modules or
PME-216i modules.
For packet card compatibility and interoperability information for releases prior to 7.0, as well as
connectivity and node-to-node examples for previously releases, see the release-specific versions of
the Z-Series Engineering and Planning Guide and the Packet Switching User Guide.
Important! — For Release 10.0, an existing Z77 shelf in the field requires a power upgrade
prior to installing the PSW-100G2W line card. For details on upgrading the shelf power, see
the Z77 Power Upgrade Guide (450-3708-701) available online in the Ciena doc portal. After
the shelf power upgrade, the Z77 shelf can support up to eight PSW-100G2W line cards.

Packet Card In-Band Management Channel

The PME-412, PME-216i, PSW-10G10, PSW-10G20, and PSW-618 packet modules provide an optional
in-band management channel of up to 100 Mbps in bandwidth. If you configure the Z77 or Z33 shelf
with a packet line card, and the shelf does not have a LAD or WSS/AWG module, or the
traffic-carrying packet interfaces are not fiber patched to an installed LAD or WSS/AWG module, set
the 10G ETH/OTN Fiber Port Signal Type parameter (General sub-tab) to 10GE LAN (default).
When you configure the packet 10G fiber port with a signal type of 10GE LAN or 10GE WAN, the
Topology Discovery and Routing parameters are automatically enabled (default) and the system will
use the packet line card in-band management channel to provide node-to-node communication.
If you install a packet line card in the shelf and a LAD or WSS module provides the OSC and the
traffic-carrying packet interfaces are fiber patched to a LAD or WSS/AWG module, set the packet 10G
ETH/OTN Fiber Port Signal Type parameter to OTU-2 (General sub-tab). When you provision the
packet fiber port with a signal type of OTU-2, the system disables the Topology Discovery and
Routing parameters automatically. Additionally, the system returns the reserved 100 Mbps of
bandwidth used for the in-band management channel to the packet line card 10G fiber port for
payload. Disabling Topology Discovery also prevents the system from displaying a topology line in
addition to the OSC line to the adjacent node in the Network view tab.

Z77 Shelf v2 – Line Card Installation Procedure

If installing WSS line cards, use the line card installation procedure described here in conjunction
with the Z77 Shelf v2 WSS and AWG Modules – Installation Procedure starting on page 90.

cables attached.
Insert the appropriate XFP/SFP transceiver into the line card port until it gently snaps in place. Ensure
that the transceiver is fully seated and securely in place. Repeat for each XFP/SFP transceiver in your
configuration.
Note: When the transceiver module reports inconsistent information,

the system uses the Connector code to set up the Physical Termination
Point (PTP).

Note: For additional information on installing XFP and SFP transceivers,

see the manufacturer’s instructions.
Note that when a DWDM XFP is initially inserted, it will not begin transmitting (for
about one minute) until the internal temperature reaches the proper level to
ensure it is ready to transmit at its precise frequency. There is also a delay in
transmitting, although the delay is shorter, when you disable an XFP to change its
signal type.
Connecting Fiber Jumpers

After you install the XFP/SFP transceivers, terminate the fibers using jumpers. Dress the fiber
jumpers according to your local site practice.
LAC-4P LGX Shelf and Modules – Installation

Procedure
Ciena also provides the LAC-4P 4-channel CWDM add/drop with Express mux/demux module. The
module installs in an industry standard LGX form factor.
The passive LAC-4 module provides a 4-port CWDM optical mux/demux capability. Channel spacing
is at 20 nm, following the standard CWDM wavelength grid. Ciena provides two versions of the
LAC-4P module:
• LAC-4P, 1610 nm – 1550 nm
• LAC-4P, 1530 nm – 1470 nm
The LGX frame (shelf) installs quickly with just a screwdriver and four screws. The LAC-4P
LGX-compatible form factor allows for simple installation with snap-in mounting. You can install the
LAC-4P modules without tools into any LGX compatible shelf/frame. You can mount up to three units
into a single LGX passive frame.
You can deploy the LAC-4P CWDM modules in incremental steps. Operators can start out with a 1x4
CWDM multiplexer, and as demand grows, add additional 1x4 LGX packaged CWDM modules. You
can add additional modules by simply daisy chaining the units using the Express port.
Install the LGX shelf/frame and the LAC-4P LGX-compatible module(s) as detailed in LGX Shelf and
LGX-Compatible Modules for the Z77 Shelf v2 starting on page 94.
Connect fibers to the LAC-4P module and dress all cable according to your local site practice.
Note: Check that the Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) fibers are not reversed.
Connect the transmit fiber to the appropriate receive connector on the LAC-4P
module and vice versa. Receive is labeled "In." Transmit is labeled "Out."
Use the Express In/Out connectors to Common In/Out connectors to daisy chain multiple LAC-4P
modules within the LGX frame (shelf).

Follow these steps to install and connect:
• LAD-40/LAD-40E modules
• AWG-40 modules
• Horizontal Fiber Management panels
• (If needed) DCMs (LGX-compatible module)

Note: If a DCM is required with a LAD-40E module, you must use a Fiber Bragg
Grating DCM. If a DCM is not required for your configuration, you must connect a
3dB loopback attenuator to the LAD-40E Mid-stage port. The LAD-40E and Fiber
Jumper Kit provides the loopback attenuator. For additional information on
available DCMs, see the Z-Series Engineering and Planning Guide.

to the rack. Reverse the brackets for installation in a 23-inch rack.

Step 5
A. If your configuration includes additional AWG-40 modules, repeat step 3 and step 4 for each
associated Horizontal Fiber Management panel. Install a Horizontal Fiber Management panel
directly above the previously installed AWG-40 module (already installed in the rack).
B. Install the subsequent AWG-40 module directly above the previously installed Horizontal
Fiber Management panel.
Repeat this step for each AWG-40 module in the configuration.
Note: If equipment rack does not provide adequate space, consider installing fewer
Horizontal Fiber Management panels for use by multiple AWG-40 modules.
Step 6
Connect and route the fiber jumpers as follows:
• Connect a fiber jumper from the LAD-40 or LAD-40E COM port to the AWG-40 COM port.
• Connect a fiber jumper from the LAD-40 or LAD-40E Line port to the trunk (typically at the
fiber distribution panel).
• Connect a fiber jumper from each Z-Series line card (XFP channel) to the corresponding
AWG-40 DWDM Add/Drop port.
• If you install one or more DCMs, connect a fiber jumper from each DCM to the corresponding
LAD-40E Mid-Stage port.
Repeat this step for each LAD-40 or LAD-40E module.
Step 7
Dress all cables according to your local site practice.

Figure 28: WSS-402 and AWG-40 Z77 Shelf v2 Installation Example


• WSS-402/WSS-404/WSS-F2/WSS-F4/WSS-F8 modules
• AWG-40 or AWG-96 optical access panel
• LGX-compatible modules:
 OFX-4 (WSS-404 or WSS-F4 configuration)
 OFX-8 (WSS-F8 configuration)
 DCMs (if necessary)
Note: If a DCM is required with a WSS module, you must use a Fiber Bragg Grating
DCM. If a DCM is not required for your configuration, you must connect a 3dB loopback
attenuator to the WSS Mid-stage port. Each WSS Module and Fiber Jumper Kit provides
a loopback attenuator as part of the kit.
Step 1
Install the WSS module(s) in the Z77 shelf or shelves.
• For details on inserting a line card into the shelf, see the Z77 Shelf v2 Line Card Installation
• For a two-degree ROADM configuration, install WSS-402 and AWG-40 modules or WSS-F2 and
AWG-40/AWG-96 modules in one to two separate Z77 shelves in an MNG configuration.
• For a four-degree ROADM configuration, install WSS-404 and AWG-40 modules or WSS-F4
and AWG-40/AWG-96 modules in one to four separate Z77 shelves in an MNG configuration.
• For an eight-degree ROADM configuration, install WSS-F8 and AWG-96 modules in one to
four separate Z77 shelves in an MNG configuration.
• For information on configuring Multi Node Groups, required for multi-degree ROADMs when
using Z77 shelves, refer to "Creating and Managing MNGs" in the Planet Operate Nodes,
Modules, and Transport Resources user guide.
Note: WSS-F2 and WSS-F4 modules can operate in an existing 40-channel (100
GHz spacing) configuration within the same network and same node as the
WSS-402 or WSS-404. When configured for 40-channel support, WSS-F2 and
WSS-F4 modules are compatible with the AWG-40, L-AMP, 40-channel DCMs, and
existing fixed and tunable XFP, SFP+, and SFP transceivers. For information on
changing the module grid mode setting from 96- to 40-channel support, refer to
the topic, "WSS Modules" in the Planet Operate Nodes, Modules, and Transport
Resources user guide.

Step 2
If your configuration does not require a DCM module, connect the provided 3 dB loopback
attenuator to the WSS Mid-Stage port. If your configuration does not require a DCM module or an
OFX-4 (WSS-404 or WSS-F4 configuration) or an OFX-8 (WSS-F8 configuration), skip to step 3.
Install the LGX frame/shelf (if necessary) and the OFX-4 or OFX-8, and the DCM(s) as detailed in LGX
Shelf and LGX-Compatible Modules for the Z77 Shelf v2 starting on page 94.
Step 3
recommends installing the Horizontal Fiber Management panel directly above the Z77 shelf (install
the AWG-40 or AWG-96 module above the Horizontal Fiber Management panel).
Note: When installing in a 23-inch rack, attach the mounting adapter brackets to
the equipment rack and then fasten the Horizontal Fiber Management panel to the
Step 4
Install the AWG module in the desired location in the rack. If possible, Ciena recommends installing
the AWG module (AWG-40 or AWG-96) directly above the Horizontal Fiber Management panel and
Z77 shelf.
each of the holes in the AWG-40 or AWG-96 mounting bracket. Securely tighten all screws to fasten
the module to the rack. (Reverse the brackets for installation in a 23-inch rack.)
Step 5
A. If your configuration includes additional AWG modules, repeat step 3 and step 4 for each
associated Horizontal Fiber Management panel. Install the Horizontal Fiber Management
panel directly above the previously installed AWG module (already installed in the rack).
B. Install the subsequent AWG module directly above the previously installed Horizontal Fiber
Management panel.
Repeat this step for each AWG module in the configuration.
Note: If the equipment rack does not provide adequate space, consider installing
fewer Horizontal Fiber Management panels for use by multiple AWG modules.

Step 6
• Connect a fiber jumper from the WSS COM port to the AWG COM port.
• Connect a fiber jumper from the WSS Line port to the trunk (at the fiber distribution panel).
• Connect the WSS Express port.
 If this is a WSS-402 or WSS-F2 configuration, connect a fiber jumper from the first WSS
module Express port to the second WSS module Express port.
 If this is a WSS-404 or WSS-F4 configuration, connect a fiber jumper from the WSS
Express port to the applicable OFX-4 (Optical Fiber Switch) port.
 If this is a WSS-F8 configuration, connect a fiber jumper from the WSS Express port to the
applicable OFX-8 (Optical Fiber Switch) port.
Important! — The connection from the WSS-404 or WSS-F4 Express port to the intended
OFX-4 port or the WSS-F8 to the intended OFX-8 port is dependent on your planned
channel provisioning through Planet Operate. You must coordinate your physical fiber
connections with the Planet Operate channel provisioning. For details on creating a
multi-fiber connection using the WSS module, see the Planet Operate Trails and Services
user guide.
• Connect a fiber jumper from each Z-Series line card (XFP channel) to the corresponding AWG
DWDM Add/Drop port.

"system" refers to the entire hardware and software system.

To unpack the Z77 shelf assembly and chassis components, you need the following tools and
equipment:
• Scissors to cut the plastic banding straps on the shipping container. If the shipping container
is secured with metal banding, you will need standard tin snips to cut the straps.
Note: A forklift or pallet jack may be required to move the shelf-assembly

Unpacking and Inspecting the Z77 Shelf

Assembly
This section details the steps for unpacking and inspecting the Z77 shelf assembly. Verify that all
components are present and undamaged before you start the installation process.
Make sure that you have sufficient room to unpack the shelf assembly and slide it out from the
shipping container.
Note: Due to the weight of the shelf assembly, this procedure requires two
people to lift and remove the shelf assembly from the shipping container.
Step 1
After receiving the Z77 shelf assembly, do the following:
A. Place the shipping container as close to the installation location as possible. Use a forklift or
pallet jack, if necessary.
B. Place the shipping container in the upright position with the bottom securely on the floor.
C. Cut the plastic banding off the cardboard shipping container.
D. Lift the upper portion of the shipping container from the lower portion.
E. On the lower portion of the shipping container, pull the two cardboard side flaps forward to
open the end of the container as shown in the following figure.
F. Due to the weight of the shelf assembly, this step requires two people to remove a shelf
assembly from the shipping container. Slide the shelf assembly forward and carefully remove
it from the shipping container.
Figure 33: Unpacking the Z77 Shelf Assembly
Step 2
Remove the accessories, line cards, and documentation from their individual shipping boxes.
Remove the materials packing list from the shipping container. Verify that all contents on the list are
present.
Step 3
Remove the metal protective covers that shield the Z77 shelf front and BTM (rear) open card slots.
Step 4
Visually inspect the following:
• Mid-plane connectors are not damaged
• Pins are not bent or broken
• Frame is not bent
• Fans are not damaged
• Fan filter is in place and not damaged
Step 5
If you observe any damage, contact the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for a replacement. You can
reach the TAC toll free at +1-877-283-0033 or +1-707-735-2300.
Step 6
Remove the fan modules and fan filter. Set them aside until after you mount the chassis in the rack.
This will reduce the weight of the chassis and prevent damage to the fans.
Warning The handles on the fan modules and fan filter tray must never be used to lift
the chassis. Personal injury and/or damage to the Z77 shelf assembly may
result.
Z77 Operations Panel

Two models of the Operations Panel are available for the Z77 shelf:
• LCD Operations Panel
• LED Operations Panel
LCD Operations Panel

The LCD Operations Panel attaches to the front of the Z77 chassis and provides a color touch-screen
interface, and an alarm cut-off button for facility alarms. Using the Operations Panel, you can
accomplish initial Z77 node commissioning without a PC laptop. Use the panel to view standing
alarms and display system information. It also provides a configuration interface to re-commission a
node.
Figure 34: Z77 LCD Operations Panel
The Operations Panel provides an Alarms tab and a Menu tab. Each tab has a scrolling side bar that
allows you to scroll the screen. You can also scroll by dragging your finger vertically across the LCD.
Press the Home button to return to the beginning screen.
Press the Back button to return to the previous screen.
Use the ACO (Alarm Cut-off) button to terminate an audible alarm (alarm condition remains).
LED Operations Panel

The LED Operations Panel attaches to the front of the Z77 shelf and provides Critical, Major, and
Minor alarm LEDs, service button, and an alarm cut-off button for facility alarms.
Figure 35: Z77 LED Operations Panel
A GREEN fan LED indicates normal operation.

A RED fan LED indicates that the fan module is not operating properly.
An AMBER filter LED indicates that the 90-day filter service period has exceeded and the fan filters
must be cleaned or replaced. Note that the filter service period is a user-configurable parameter. 90
days is the system default value.
Use the Service button to disable the fans (typically to do fan filter maintenance). For additional
information, see Z77 Fan Maintenance starting on page 133.
Use the Lights button to illuminate the indicator area of the operations panel. Press the Lights
button to toggle the lights on and off.
Note: When the shelf has an LED Operations Panel, you can initially
commission the Z77 shelf using a PC laptop connected to the BOSS card
Ethernet craft port. Use a standard Web browser for commissioning. For
complete details, see Commission the Z77 using a Web Browser.
Alarm Cut-off (ACO)

The ACO LED only illuminates when you press the ACO button. It is a visual indicator to the operator
that audible indication of an alarm has been suppressed. After you have pressed the ACO button, if a
new alarm occurs within the system, the ACO LED clears (no illumination) returning to the beginning
of the ACO state machine and the audio alarm sounds again (indicating there is a newer alarm since
the ACO had been pressed). That is, for a new alarm, you still want the audible and then an operator
can press the ACO button again to suppress the audible.
Note that pressing the ACO does not remove the alarm conditions. An alarm condition does not
illuminate the ACO LED, but it does activate an audio alarm.
The ACO LED remains illuminated until the removal of all current/previous alarms. The LED does not
illuminate when:
• There are no alarms.
• A new alarm occurs AFTER the ACO button has been pushed to suppress a previous
audio alarm.

Z77 – Shelf Assembly Installation Procedure

To install the Z77 shelf assembly in a rack, follow these steps.
Step 1
Verify that a proper fuse and alarm panel is installed in the top-most mounting space of the rack. If a
fuse and alarm panel is not present, you must install one according to manufacturer instructions.
Verify that eight fused circuits are available (four "A" circuits and four "B" circuits).
Important! — You must connect all eight circuits for proper operation. Failure to connect
all circuits may result in some slots not receiving rated power.
Step 2
Attach the rack mounting brackets to the rack.
A. Using a screwdriver, install the outside set screws (that support the rack bracket) into the
rack allowing the screw heads to protrude enough to hold the rack bracket.
B. Mount the rack bracket on the set screws and tighten them in place.

Z77 Fan Maintenance

The Z77 shelf assembly uses three redundant fan modules to cool the chassis. The fan modules push
ambient air from the front of the shelf through the shelf to the top, rear exit. You can remove each of
the fan modules independently without affecting the others. Normal operation requires all three of
the fan modules, though two will fully support the cooling requirements of the chassis. Each of the
fan modules contains two fans, adding further redundancy to the design.
The Z77 shelf assembly has a total of six fans, two fans per fan module. These modules are easily
removed.
Thumbscrew
Figure 53: Z77 Fan Unit
The Z77 shelf uses a fan filter to protect and keep the interior of the chassis clean. Clear or replace
the fan filter every 3 to 6 months, depending of your local environment. To clean a filter, simply
vacuum the filter. DO NOT USE any liquid to clean it as the fan may subsequently blow liquid onto
electrical parts.

Z77 – BTM Installation Procedure .........................................................147
Z77 BOSS Termination Module Overview

The BOSS Termination Module is a double-wide module that connects to both BOSS (BOSS or BOSS2)
cards. One BTM connects to both BOSS cards simultaneously, and uses two slots at the rear of the
chassis. This allows either BOSS card to serve as master and access all the physical connections to
the system.
The BTM is primarily a passive module. It provides physical termination for timing, alarm, and control
signals in or out of the Z77 shelf. One BTM is required for normal operation. Install the BTM in the
rear of the chassis. It occupies rear slots 1 and 2.
Figure 58: Z77 Shelf Rear View with BTM Installed
You can remove each of the BTM terminal blocks for easier wiring. The external alarm inputs and
outputs are all software configurable.
The Ethernet interface, labeled MGMT 1, provides access to the out-of-band Data Communication
Network (DCN).
You can use the DCN as a communication network for network management. These interfaces
support VLANs and make use of OSPF routing on the BOSS cards.
The iLAN Ethernet interfaces provide DCN connectivity and make use of OSPF routing (iLAN-to-iLAN
connection). The iLAN ports provide IP access to secondary shelves (Z22, Z33, and other Z77 nodes).

To install the BTM, you need the following tools and equipment:
Tools
• None
Equipment
• BOSS Termination Module (BTM)
• Shelf assembly (previously installed)

Z77 Shelf Connections
This section describes timing, alarm, and management connections provided by the BOSS
The BOSS Termination Module provides physical termination for the Z77 system alarm and
management interfaces supported by the BOSS (BOSS and BOSS2) cards. One BTM connects to both
BOSS cards simultaneously and uses two slots at the rear of the chassis. This allows either BOSS card
to serve as master and access all the physical connections to the system.
The BTM is primarily passive with the exception of some active components that switch each
interface between the BOSS slots. Active components include relays and opto-couplers used for
alarms, analog switches used for Ethernet ports, and a small EEPROM for inventory purposes.
Ports and connectors on the BTM include five types:
• System alarm outputs
• Environmental alarm inputs and outputs
• Timing inputs and outputs
• Ethernet ports (4)
• RS-232 port (reserved for future use)
The following table shows the BTM port / connection type, number / detail (inputs and outputs), and
physical connector types:
Port / Connection Type Number Connector Notes
7 – Outputs
Alarms Terminal Block 2 signals per port
6 - Inputs
2 – Outputs
Timing Terminal Block Each signal is a differential pair
4 - Inputs
Ethernet 4 RJ-45 Management / iLAN
RS-232 1 RJ-45 Reserved for future use
Figure 59: BTM (Front View)
You can remove each of the three terminal blocks for easier wiring.
The external alarm inputs and outputs are all software configurable.
Four Ethernet interfaces provide autosensing 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connectivity to the BOSS
cards. Typically, use MGMT1 to access the Data Communication Network (DCN) that is available over
the DWDM interfaces. You can use the DCN as a communication network for network management.
The management interface provides the following connectivity rates:
• 1000Base-T Full Duplex
The iLAN Ethernet interfaces can also provide DCN connectivity and make use of OSPF routing
(iLAN-to-iLAN connection). The iLAN ports can also provide IP access to secondary shelves (Z22, Z33,
and other Z77 nodes).
Note: The RS-232 port provides an interface for future use. Currently, this port
should only be used by (or at the direction of) TAC personnel.

Refer to "Packet Card Interoperability" in the Packet Switching User Guide and the Z-Series Engineering
and Planning Guide.
Important! — An existing Z77 v2 (with two fan tray mdules per chassis) in the field requires
a power upgrade prior to installing the PSW-100G2W line card. For details on upgrading the
shelf power, see the Z77 Power Upgrade Guide (450-3708-701) available online in the Ciena
doc portal. After the shelf power upgrade, the Z77 v2 shelf can support up to eight
PSW-100G2W line cards. Note that the older model Z77 (with three fan tray modules per
chassis) does not support the power upgrade and therefore does not support the
PSW-100G2W line card.
LAD and WSS Slot Assignments

Ciena recommends you install LAD and WSS (WSS-402/WSS-404/WSS-F2/WSS-F4/WSS-F8) line cards
from right to left in the Z77 shelf.
Important! — If using an attenuator, place it on the Receive (RX) port of the LAD/WSS
line card. Do NOT place it on the Transmit (TX) port.
Line Card Slot Assignments

Ciena recommends that you install service line cards from left to right in the Z77 shelf.
If you install a single line card in an odd slot, give consideration as to whether to populate the
adjacent even slot or to leave the even slot open for future growth and/or protection of the line card.

fabric or backplane connectivity between different card types — you must use front fiber jumpers to
interconnect these line cards.
In a Z77 shelf, you must install PME-412 line cards or PME-216i line cards in slots 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10,
11/12, 13/14, or 15/16 to operate as a card pair. A PME-412 line card must NOT be collocated within
the same card pair with a PME-216i line card.
Ring Closure Modules (RCMs) installed in a Z77 shelf also provide the backplane connectivity for PME
line card pairs. RCMs are passive modules located in an Electrical Fabric Module (EFM) slot of the Z77
shelf. RCMs provide connectivity without external patching between two PME-412 modules or two
PME-216i modules. RCM provide Link aggregation using multiple ports between a pair of PME-412
modules or PME-216i modules and A TESI Express connection using a pair of PME-412 modules or
PME-216i modules.
For packet card compatibility and interoperability information for releases prior to 7.0, as well as
connectivity and node-to-node examples for previously releases, see the release-specific versions of
the Z-Series Engineering and Planning Guide and the Packet Switching User Guide.
Important! — For Release 10.0, an existing Z77 shelf in the field requires a power upgrade
prior to installing the PSW-100G2W line card. For details on upgrading the shelf power, see
the Z77 Power Upgrade Guide (450-3708-701) available online in the Ciena doc portal. After
the shelf power upgrade, the Z77 shelf can support up to eight PSW-100G2W line cards.

Packet Card In-Band Management Channel

The PME-412, PME-216i, PSW-10G10, PSW-10G20, and PSW-618 packet modules provide an optional
in-band management channel of up to 100 Mbps in bandwidth. If you configure the Z77 or Z33 shelf
with a packet line card, and the shelf does not have a LAD or WSS/AWG module, or the
traffic-carrying packet interfaces are not fiber patched to an installed LAD or WSS/AWG module, set
the 10G ETH/OTN Fiber Port Signal Type parameter (General sub-tab) to 10GE LAN (default).
When you configure the packet 10G fiber port with a signal type of 10GE LAN or 10GE WAN, the
Topology Discovery and Routing parameters are automatically enabled (default) and the system will
use the packet line card in-band management channel to provide node-to-node communication.
If you install a packet line card in the shelf and a LAD or WSS module provides the OSC and the
traffic-carrying packet interfaces are fiber patched to a LAD or WSS/AWG module, set the packet 10G
ETH/OTN Fiber Port Signal Type parameter to OTU-2 (General sub-tab). When you provision the
packet fiber port with a signal type of OTU-2, the system disables the Topology Discovery and
Routing parameters automatically. Additionally, the system returns the reserved 100 Mbps of
bandwidth used for the in-band management channel to the packet line card 10G fiber port for
payload. Disabling Topology Discovery also prevents the system from displaying a topology line in
addition to the OSC line to the adjacent node in the Network view tab.
Z77 – Line Card Installation Procedure

If installing WSS line cards, use the line card installation procedure described here in conjunction
with the Z77 WSS and AWG-40 Modules - Installation Procedure starting on page 173.
conjunction with the Z77 Shelf LAD-40/LAD-40E and AWG-40 – Installation Procedure starting on
page 166.
conjunction with the Z77 Shelf LAD-96/LAD-96E and AWG-96 – Installation Procedure starting on
page 170.
To install a Z-Series line card, follow these steps.
Step 1
Open the ejector latch of the first line card to install.
Step 2
Use the ejector latch to slide the line card along the guide rails until the line card plugs into the
connectors at the back of the slot on the backplane.
Step 3
Verify that the line card is inserted correctly and close the ejector latch on the card.
Note: It is possible to close the ejector latch when the line card is not
completely plugged into the back panel of the shelf assembly. Ensure that you
cannot insert the card any further.
Step 4
A. Verify that the line card boots properly via the LEDs at the top of the card. LED activity during
line card installation is as follows:
loaded (about 120 seconds).
• After the CyOS is loaded to the line card, all four of the card LEDs (power, alarm, active,
and sync) will momentarily flash.
B. The line card is now fully operational. The LED activity should be as follows:
Power – Solid GREEN.
Alarm – Not lit if there are no alarms. If there are alarms, the LED will be a solid color,
Active – Solid GREEN.
SYNC – Solid BLUE. (Not applicable to the LAC-8 and LAD modules.)
Note: If the power LED is solid GREEN, but the alarm LED flashes GREEN
rapidly, the communications link to the card is down.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 to install additional line cards.

cables attached.
Insert the appropriate XFP/SFP transceiver into the line card port until it gently snaps in place. Ensure
that the transceiver is fully seated and securely in place. Repeat for each XFP/SFP transceiver in your
configuration.
Note: When the transceiver module reports inconsistent information,

the system uses the Connector code to set up the Physical Termination
Point (PTP).
Note: For additional information on installing XFP and SFP transceivers,

see the manufacturer’s instructions.
Note that when a DWDM XFP is initially inserted, it will not begin transmitting (for
about one minute) until the internal temperature reaches the proper level to
ensure it is ready to transmit at its precise frequency. There is also a delay in
transmitting, although the delay is shorter, when you disable an XFP to change its
signal type.
Connecting Fiber Jumpers

After you install the XFP/SFP transceivers, terminate the fibers using jumpers. Dress the fiber
jumpers according to your local site practice.
LAC-4P LGX Modules – Installation Procedure

Ciena also provides the LAC-4P 4-channel CWDM add/drop with Express mux/demux module. The
module installs in an industry standard LGX form factor.
The passive LAC-4 module provides a 4-port CWDM optical mux/demux capability. Channel spacing
is at 20 nm, following the standard CWDM wavelength grid. Ciena provides two versions of the
LAC-4P module:
• LAC-4P, 1610 nm – 1550 nm
• LAC-4P, 1530 nm – 1470 nm
The LGX frame (shelf) installs quickly with just a screwdriver and four screws. The LAC-4P
LGX-compatible form factor allows for simple installation with snap-in mounting. You can install the
LAC-4P modules without tools into any LGX compatible shelf/frame. You can mount up to three units
into a single LGX passive frame.
You can deploy the LAC-4P CWDM modules in incremental steps. Operators can start out with a 1x4
CWDM multiplexer, and as demand grows, add additional 1x4 LGX packaged CWDM modules. You
can add additional modules by simply daisy chaining the units using the Express port.
Install the LGX shelf/frame and the LAC-4P LGX-compatible module(s) as detailed in Installing the
LGX Shelf and LGX-Compatible Modules starting on page 177.
Connect fibers to the LAC-4P module and dress all cable according to your local site practice.
Note: Check that the Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) fibers are not reversed.
Connect the transmit fiber to the appropriate receive connector on the LAC-4P
module and vice versa. Receive is labeled "In." Transmit is labeled "Out."
Use the Express In/Out connectors to Common In/Out connectors to daisy chain multiple LAC-4P
modules within the LGX frame (shelf).

Appendix A: Replacing RCMs with
XC-2800 Switch Fabric Modules to
Support TSW-10G10 Modules
Before adding TSW-10G10, PSW-10G10, or PSW-618 modules to empty slots in the Z77 shelf, you
must upgrade system software to Release 5.x or higher and insert XC-2800 switch fabric modules to
the slots in the rear of the shelf.
Before adding PSW-10G20 modules to empty slots in the Z77 shelf, you must upgrade system
software to Release 8.x or higher and insert XC-2800 switch fabric modules to the slots in the rear of
the shelf.
If the Z77 shelf contains Ring Closure Modules (RCMs) in the rear slots, you must remove the RCMs
and replace them with XC-2800 modules. This section contains a procedure for this replacement
task.
To use TSW-10G10, PSW-10G10, PSW-10G20, or PSW-618 modules to replace PME line cards
(PME-216i, PME-412) carrying active services, contact the TAC for assistance.
Note: Starting in Release 4.2, you can install MSE-1482 line cards in a Z77
shelf supported by the XC-2800 switch fabric. The XC-2800 switch fabric
module supports the MSE-1482 in a standalone muxponder configuration.
However, the XC-2800 switch fabric module does not support MSE-1482
card-to-card backplane cross-connections or protection.
If you require MSE-1482 card-pair applications to support MSE cross-card
connections, MSE SONET/SDH protection groups, or pass-through traffic
between a pair of MSE-1482 modules, remove the MSE line cards from the
shelf prior to installing XC-2800 modules and place the MSE line cards into a
Z77 shelf equipped with RCMs.
EFM Slots with

RCMs installed
Figure 71: Z77 Rear Panel
Warning! – This procedure affects traffic.
To replace RCMs with XC-2800 modules, follow these steps.
Step 1: Remove MSE-1482 Modules

If you require MSE-1482 card-pair applications to support MSE cross-card connections, MSE
SONET/SDH protection groups, or pass-through traffic between a pair of MSE-1482 modules, follow
step 1 to remove the MSE line cards from the shelf prior to installing XC-2800 modules and place the
MSE line cards into a Z77 shelf equipped with RCMs. If the MSE-1482 modules are strictly in a
standalone muxponder configuration, you can leave them in the Z77 shelf, skip step 1 and go to
step 2.
Before removing the MSE-1482 line cards from the Z77 shelf, it is important to obtain a provisioning
"snapshot" of each line card by collecting provisioned services, VCAT groups, cross-connect
information and so forth so that you can re-apply this information after you install the MSE line cards
into a Z77 shelf with RCMs.
A. Record the MSE configuration on the node.
B. Delete MSE configurations, including services, cross-connects, VCAT groups, and so forth.
C. Remove the MSE line cards from the Z77 shelf.
D. Using Planet Operate, right-click the module and select Remove Module.
Step 2: Upgrade the Node to CyOS Release 5.x or Higher

Upgrade CyOS software to Release 5.x or higher. Refer to "Software Upgrade" in the Z-Series

Step 3: Upgrade the RCM in slots 1, 2, and 4 to XC-2800

Replace the RCMs in slots 1, 2, and 4. Do NOT replace the RCM in slot 3 until step 5.
A. Remove the RCM from slot 1 in the shelf rear.
B. Install the XC-2800 module into the empty slot.
C. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for RCMs in slots 2 and 4.
D. Wait for any auto-upgrade process on the new XC-2800 modules to complete.
Note: An auto-upgrade is indicated by double-blue flashing LEDs on the front panel; the module
then reboots. Wait until the active LED turns solid GREEN before continuing.
Step 4: Switch the LME/PME traffic to EFM slot 4
Warning! – Switching traffic from EFM slot 3 to EFM slot 4 can affect traffic for up to
500 ms.
Note: All PME/LME traffic currently runs on the RCM in EFM slot 3. Be sure to
return traffic to EFM slot 3 in step 6.
Note: Before beginning this procedure, ensure that any auto-upgrade process
of the XC-2800 modules is complete and that all XC-2800 modules are free of
alarms.
Using Planet Operate, do the following:

A. From the Shelf view, click the Rear Panel tab.
B. Right-click the side border of the shelf in the rear panel (or click the shelf in the Equipment
Tree) and select View Information.
C. In the Module information tree, select Equipment configuration.

Appendix D: Line Card SYNC LED
Sequence during PLL
Synchronization to the Active
Controller Card
A Z-Series line card SYNC LED indicates the state of the phase-locked loop (PLL) synchronization to
the shelf active controller card (Z77 BOSS/BOSS2 or Z22/Z33 CEMi). The line card PLL can be locked
to the clock coming from the active controller card or it can be in Hold-over or Free-run mode if a
BOSS/BOSS2/CEMi card is not available.
Line Card SYNC LED color assignments during PLL synchronization to the shelf active controller
card are as follows:
SYNC Status LED LED Status LED Status Description
Locked Solid BLUE
Hold-over Flashing AMBER

SYNC
Free-run OFF
Acquiring (tracking) Flashing BLUE
Note: Z-Series line cards control their SYNC LEDs even if the timing subsystem (TSS) is not
provisioned. For example, the TSS on the BOSS/CEMi cards can run in Free-run mode (indicated by
the BOSS/BOSS2/CEMi SYNC LED being OFF), but a line card SYNC LED is solid BLUE to indicate it is
locked to the active BOSS/BOSS2/CEMi card clock.
MSE-1482 Line Card SYNC LED

MSE-1482 line card SYNC LED indications are slightly dissimilar from other Z-Series line cards due to
the differences in operation. MSE-1482 line cards are designed to operate in pairs where one
MSE-1482 line card is "active" and the other MSE-1482 line card in the pair is "standby." In this
configuration, the standby MSE-1482 line card recovers its clock from the active MSE-1482 line card.
The active MSE-1482 line card recovers its clock from the active BOSS/BOSS2/CEMi card.
The SYNC LED on the active MSE-1482 line card indicates whether the active MSE-1482 line card is
locked to the active BOSS/CEMi card or in Hold-over or Free-run mode. When the active MSE-1482
line card PLL is locked to the active BOSS/BOSS2/CEMi card, the active MSE-1482 line card SYNC LED
is solid BLUE.
The SYNC LED on the standby MSE-1482 line card indicates whether the standby MSE-1482 line card
is locked to the active MSE-1482 line card (its peer) or in Hold-over or Free-run mode. When the
standby MSE-1482 line card PLL is locked to the active MSE-1482 line card, the standby MSE-1482 line
card SYNC LED is solid BLUE.
Appendix E: Line Card Port Status
and Alarm LEDs
Line card port status and alarm LEDs (for line cards with one LED per port and line cards with
two LEDs per port) are defined in the following table:
Port Status LED LED Status LED Description

OPS Optical Protection Switch — The Z-Series Optical Protection Switch (OPS) uses low-loss
switching technology to provide protection against fiber cuts and failures. It provides
redundant path protection for telecommunication transmission systems. The OPS
operates independent of rate, format, and wavelength.
The OPS provides 1+1 protection. It continuously monitors optical power on both its

configured threshold, the OPS switches the optical signal to the standby link within 25
ms.
OPU Optical channel Payload Unit — Per ITU-T G.709, The OPUk is the information structure
used to adapt client information for transport over an optical channel. It comprises client
information together with any overhead needed to perform rate adaptation between the
client signal rate and the OPUk payload rate and other OPUk overhead supporting the
client signal transport. This overhead is adaptation specific. OPUk capacities for k=1, k=2,
k=3 are defined.
The client signal is mapped into the OPUk. The OPUk is mapped into an ODUk and the
ODUk is mapped into an OTUk. The OTUk is mapped into an OCh.
OSC Optical Supervisory Channel — In order to supervise all network elements in the network,
without relying on an external DCN, Z-Series systems provide an Optical Supervisory
Channel (OSC). Each Z-Series shelf connects to its neighbors via a 100 Mbps Ethernet
channel carried in-band over the optical network.
The system provides an embedded OSC that is resident in each Z-Series network
element. These select Z-Series optical interfaces insert a 100 Mbps OSC on 1510 nm and
provide transparent links between each Z-Series NE in the network. The OSC is a separate
channel that carries overhead information for network management purposes that is
added and dropped at each network element. It does not affect traffic.
