3.1 Safety recommendations

3.1.1 Guidelines to ensure general safety:
• Keep the chassis clear and dust-free during and after installation.
• Keep tools away from walk areas where you and others could fall
over them. Do not wear loose clothing that could get caught in the
chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves.
• Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that
might be hazardous to your eyes.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to
people or makes the equipment unsafe.
3.1.2 Maintaining safety with electricity
Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by
electricity:
• Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you
are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can act
quickly to turn off the power.
• Disconnect all power by turning off the power and unplugging the
power cord before:
– Installing or removing a chassis
TJ100ME
– Working near power supplies

• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit, always
check the circuit.
• Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as
moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, frayed power
cords, and missing safety grounds.
• If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
– Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
– Turn off power to the system.
– If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess
the condition of the victim and then call for help.
– Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac
compressions, then take appropriate action.
3.1.3 Preventing electrostatic discharge damage

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair
electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components
are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent
failures.
• Always follow ESD-prevention when removing and replacing

components. Ensure that the chassis is electrically connected to
earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that
it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an
unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground ESD
voltages. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the
wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is
available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the
chassis.
• For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic
strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).
3.2 General site requirements
This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe
installation and operation of your system. Ensure that your site is
properly prepared before beginning installation.

3.2.1 Site Environment

Networking equipment can be mounted in a rack. The location of the
equipment and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring room are
extremely important for proper system operation. Equipment placed
too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can
cause system malfunctions and shutdowns, and can make system
maintenance difficult.
When planning your site layout and equipment locations, keep in

mind the precautions described in the section Preventive Site
Configuration to help avoid equipment failures and reduce the
possibility of environmentally caused shutdowns. If you are currently
experiencing shutdowns or unusually high errors with your existing
equipment, these precautions may help you isolate the cause of
failures and prevent future problems.
3.2.2 Preventive Site Configuration

The following precautions will help you plan an acceptable operating
environment for your equipment and will help you avoid
environmentally caused equipment failures:
• Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature

might not be adequate to cool equipment to acceptable operating
temperatures without adequate circulation. Ensure that the room
in which you operate your system has adequate air circulation.
• Always follow the ESD-prevention procedures described
previously to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static
discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.
• Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis is designed to
allow cooling air to flow effectively within it. An open chassis
allows air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow of
cooling air from internal components.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to the equipment
Proper hydraulic/pneumatic material handling equipment must be
used for mounting the equipment. If the network element is heavy
and the hydralic equipment is not available then ensure that atleast
two installers are at the installation site.
TJ100ME
3.2.3 Configuring Equipment Racks

The following tips will help you plan an acceptable equipment rack
configuration:
• Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. Ensure that the

rack is not overly congested, because each unit generates heat. An
enclosed rack should have louvered sides and a fan to provide
cooling air.
• When mounting a chassis in an open rack, ensure that the rack
frame does not block the intake or exhaust ports. If the chassis is
installed on slides, check the position of the chassis when it is
seated all the way into the rack.
• In an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan in the top, excessive heat
generated by equipment near the bottom of the rack can be drawn
upward and into the intake ports of the equipment above it in the
rack. Ensure that you provide adequate ventilation for equipment
at the bottom of the rack.
• Baffles can help to isolate exhaust air from intake air, which also
helps to draw cooling air through the chassis. The best placement
of the baffles depends on the airflow patterns in the rack.
Experiment with different arrangements to position the baffles
effectively.
3.3 Power Supply Considerations
Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving clean
power (free of spikes and noise). Install a power conditioner if
necessary.
DC power supplies operate at a range of -40 volts DC to -60 volts DC.
3.4 Safety Standards

Tejas Networks network elements conform to all relevant safety
standards. The network element complies with the following safety
standards:
• IEC/EN 60950-1:2001 and UL 60950—Information technology

equipment - Safety, Part 1: General requirements
• IEC 60825-1:2001 and IEC 60825-2:2004 Safety of Laser
Products

3.5 Laser radiation—optical transmission systems

Tejas Networks optical products use laser sources that emit light
energy into optical fibers. This energy is within the red (visible) and
infrared (not visible) areas of the electromagnetic spectrum.
3.5.1 Using optical fibers

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

When you handle optical fibers, you must take the following
precautions:
• Wear safety glasses when you install optical fibers.

CAUTION
Risk of laser radiation exposure
Do not look directly into the optical beam. Invisible light can severely
damage your eyes. Keep all optical connectors capped.
• Do not look into the opening of an optical fiber, or the opening

of an optical fiber connector, if the optical fiber is active or the
unit has the power turned on.
• Avoid direct exposure to optical fiber ends or optical connector
ends where you can access the laser signal directly.
TJ100ME
3.5.3 Precautions when splicing optical fibers

When you splice optical fibers, you must take the following
precautions:
• Clean your hands after you handle optical fibers. Small pieces of
glass are not always visible and can damage your eyes.
CAUTION
Risk of eye injury
If you have a piece of a glass in your eye, get medical assistance
immediately.
• Do not handle pieces of optical fiber with your fingers. Use

tweezers (preferably non metallic) or adhesive tape to lift and
discard any loose optical fiber ends.
• Wear rubber gloves when you clean optical connectors. The
gloves prevent direct contact with the isopropyl alcohol and
prevent contamination of the ferrules with skin oils.
• Place all optical fiber clippings in a plastic container provided for
that purpose.
• Handle optical fibers with caution. Place the optical fibers in a safe
location during installation.
• Protect all optical fiber connectors with clean dust caps at all
times.
• Follow the manufacturer instructions when you use an optical test
set. Incorrect calibration or control settings can create hazardous
levels of radiation.

3.5.4 Splicing optical fibers

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

central office and the field repair personnel.
• Power down all laser sources to the optical fiber or disconnect the
remote optical fiber end from the laser sources. The laser sources
can be in a central office, on subscriber premises, or in a remote
location.
3.6 Working with power

DANGER
Risk of electrical shock
The battery feeds can be at a high enough potential to constitute a
shock hazard. Read and understand the power procedures you are
performing. Take necessary precautions and use the appropriate
insulated tools when working with power.
CAUTION
Risk of personal injury, energy hazard
The battery feeds are capable of supplying very high current which,
during an unintentional short, can cause burns. Read and
understand the power procedures you are performing. Take
necessary precautions and use the appropriate insulated tools when
working with power.
TJ100ME
When you install power feeds to the product input terminals or if you
perform routine power maintenance, make sure that you do the
following:
• Read and understand the power procedures you are performing.

• Take the necessary precautions and use the appropriate insulated
tools to perform any tasks.
A continuously lit green LED at the faceplate on the base card
indicates that the card is functioning correctly and is powered up. If
the green LED on the base card is lit, the power at the associated
feeder is present and the conditions can be assumed to be normal.
If the green LED on the base card is not lit, the possible causes can
include, but are not limited to:
• damaged or non-functional power supply unit

• damaged or non functional base card
• feeder low voltage or power failure
• an over-current fail
• A reverse polarity condition at the input terminals has caused a
fuse in the power supply unit to blow.
The circuit breaker on the power supply unit is an electronic circuit
breaker. A circuit breaker cuts of the power to the card on
over-current condition.
3.7 Dissipating static electricity

The level of static electricity increases on your body when you move
around or come into contact with other charged surfaces. Excessive
levels of static electricity can damage equipment. You must either
wear a properly functioning heel grounder (that attaches to your leg
and foot) and/or an antistatic wrist-strap, or another personal
grounding device when you work on any of the following:
• network element chassis (including the metal frame and cover)

• cables connected to cards
• cards

Note : Heel grounders or similar worn footwear attachments work when the floor is
designed to dissipate static electricity. Also check for the ESD foot wear
attachment connectivity to ground using suitable ESD tester. If the properties
of the floor are unknown or in doubt, use a wrist-strap and make sure it is
connected to a piece of electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding equipment
before proceeding with any maintenance or installation activity.
Any one of the previously mentioned grounding devices dissipate
electrostatic charges to the ground quickly and safely. Use grounding
devices correctly to eliminate the ESD threat you pose to the
equipment.
When you wear an antistatic wrist-strap or a heel grounder, you must

make sure the grounding straps are in contact with a moist part of
your skin. Connect the grounding cord to the grounding plug on a
grounded fixture of the product you are working on, such as the shelf
ESD jack. Grounded fixtures are accessible on most Tejas Networks
products.
The following guidelines provide optimal electrostatic discharge

protection:
• Install bays on conductive floor coverings.

• Provide conductive shoes, antistatic wrist-straps, and heel
grounders to all personnel working on the equipment.
• Maintain local environmental conditions so that relative humidity
around equipment to be serviced is in excess of 20% (preferably
higher than 40%). This lowers the threat of developing damaging
electrostatic levels.
• You can implement an ESD training and control program that
educates personnel on the hazards of ESD and simple mitigation
procedures that can easily be applied.
3.8 Preventing card damage and pluggable module damage
Note : In this section, the generic term “card” is used to refer to cards or pluggable
modules as applicable.
TJ100ME
All cards are subject to damage by rough handling or by electrostatic

discharges. Review the following sections for more information on
how to prevent damage to cards. If Tejas Networks ships cards
separately from the network element shelf, then these cards can come
in shielded containers marked with the following symbol:
ATTENTION: Follow precautions for handling electrostatic

sensitive devices
3.8.1 Handling, installing, storing, or replacing cards and pluggable

modules
When you handle, install, or replace cards, you must take the
following precautions:
• Wear an antistatic wrist-strap, a heel grounder, or another personal

grounding device before you remove a module from its package or
from the shelf.
• Follow installation and removal procedures for each module.
Make sure to understand and perform each precautionary message
in these procedures (for example, opening/closing the latches of
the card simultaneously).
• Do not touch the solder side of the module, the pin connector, or
the components.
• Inspect all pin connectors on each module for damage before use.
• Inspect each module for damage before you insert the component
into the shelf.
• Store uninstalled cards separately in a shielded box.
• Do not stack cards on or against each other.
• Do not force cards into their packaging material.
• Do not store several cards in the same container.
• Allow each module to reach room temperature before you insert
the module into the shelf.
• Protect all optical connectors of the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx)
optical cards with clean dust caps at all times.
• Store pluggable modules in their protective static-dissipative
containers (when not in use) to prevent damage to the exposed
connector terminals.

Leave spare cards in the original shielded containers until you need
the cards. To prevent damage to cards in storage, follow procedures
that prevent:
• accumulation of dirt or dust on the pin connectors

• damage to the printed-circuit board or its components
• warpage (of printed-circuit boards stored in areas where the
humidity can exceed 95% and the temperature can exceed 70°C)
3.8.2 Transporting cards and pluggable modules
When you transport cards, pack each module in its original shielded
container and padding, or in an electrostatically shielded bag. If you
lose the original material, place the module in a shielded bag and use
another container with sufficient padding.
3.9 Controlling equipment environment

The maximum operational long-term ambient temperature of the
system location is 40°C. A temperature above 40°C is permissible
(according to ETSI EN 300 019-1-3 V2.1.2 Edition 2003-04 for
Environmental Class 3.1: Temperature controlled locations and ETSI
EN 300 019-2-3 V2.1.2 for Environmental Class T3.1 and T3.1E:
Temperature controlled locations) provided the probability of
occurrence is less than 1%. A temperature of 50°C is permissible but
the duration should not exceed 72 continuous hours.

Appendix A: Common procedures 1-
6.1 Cleaning Optical Connectors

It is important to keep all interconnects as clean as possible. Leave the
protective dust covers on the connectors when they are not in use.
Since the single-mode fiber has a light-carrying core with diameter
less than 10 micrometers, even a single microscopic speck of dust on
the connector end can significantly attenuate the light traveling
through the fiber. Accurate and repeatable measurements require
clean connections.
CAUTION
Risk of performance degradation
Improper cleaning may result in high attenuation due to dirt or dust or
may cause mechanical damage to the fiber end, resulting in
performance degradation.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to optical fiber
When handling optical fiber, take care not to exceed the minimum
bend radius, typically 35mm or over tighten the cable tie wraps while
dressing the cable.
Observe the following guidelines to achieve the best performance:
• Visually inspect fiber ends for signs of damage.

• Use dry connections whenever possible.
• Follow the cleaning procedure as described.
• Keep connectors covered when not in use.

42 Appendix A: Common procedures
6.1.1 Required tools

Tejas Networks recommends the following tools for cleaning the
optical connectors:
• 99% isopropyl or ethyl alcohol

• Lint-free, nonabrasive optical-quality cleaning pads or lens tissue,
or cotton or urethane-foam swabs
• Pressurized dry-air duster
• Optical fiber scope
6.1.2 Inspecting the fiber connector
Procedure
Step Action
1 Verify that the other end of the fiber is disconnected from its
laser source.
2 Visually inspect all fiber-optic connections before use. A
minimum of 200X magnification is required for proper
inspection.
3 Inspect the end of the fiber face with the optical fiber scope.
4 Compare with Figure 6- 1 to determine the condition of the
fiber end face.
5 Refer to the table for the procedure to follow for each fiber
end-face condition. If the condition of the fiber end face is
ideal, no further action is required. If you need to clean or
polish the end face, follow the instructions in “Fiber
Connector Cleaning Procedure”

lint-free, nonabrasive cleaning pad or lens tissue. When you
finish, discard the used pad or tissue.
3 Aim a filtered, dry compressed-air dust remover at a shallow
angle to the fiber end face and blow across the end face from
a distance of 6–8 inches.
4 Verify that the other end of the fiber is disconnected from its
laser source.
5 Inspect the fiber-optic connector with an optical fiber scope to
verify that it is free of dirt and dust. Then do either of the
following:
• If the connector is clean, cover the connector with a
protective dust cover until you are ready to use it.
• If the connector is not completely clean, continue with
steps 6 through 14 to clean it with alcohol.
6 Apply 99% isopropyl or ethyl alcohol to a lint-free,
nonabrasive cleaning pad or lens tissue.
7 Clean the ferrules and other parts of the connector. When you
finish, discard the used pad or tissue.
8 Apply alcohol to a new, lint-free cleaning pad, lens tissue, or
