1.1 Installing Cards in the Cisco 6200
Follow the procedures in this section to install MPCs, NTCs, and SLCs. It is not necessary to
disconnect power before inserting any card into the Cisco 6200 chassis.
Note
DMT cards in a single chassis is not supported.
If you are installing a single-mode NTC OC-3 or NTC STM-1 card, read the following warnings.
Warning
Warning
connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare into open apertures.
The fiber optic communication channels in the single-mode OC-3 and STM-1 cards (NTC OC3-SM
and NTC STM1-SM) operate with laser energy, which can be harmful, especially to the eyes. During
normal operation, this energy is confined to the cable and presents no danger. To avoid injury when
you are connecting or disconnecting optical channels, observe these precautions: always disconnect
the card from the backplane before connecting or disconnecting optical cables; always keep the
protective cap on the optic connector when the connector is not in use; and never look into an optical
cable or connector.
These cautions apply to all Cisco 6200 cards:
