Caution
Step 2 Verify that you have one of the following guides for the DWDM card installation:
• The slots that were preprovisioned when you completed the
Planner NE Update Configuration File
• The Cisco Transport Planner shelf layout report.
Step 3 If the slots are preprovisioned, continue with
Step 4
Remove a DWDM card from its packaging, then remove the protective caps from the backplane connectors.
(Safety caps are typically yellow.)
Step 5
Open the card latches/ejectors.
Step 6 Use the latches/ejectors to firmly slide the card along the slot guide rails until the card plugs into the receptacle
at the back of the slot. The correct slot is designated by the Cisco Transport Planner shelf layout.
Step 7
Verify that the card is inserted correctly. Simultaneously close the latches/ejectors on the card.
Note
Step 8
If the card does not boot up properly or the LED activity is not similar to the activity in
following:
• When a physical card type does not match the type of card provisioned for that slot in CTC, the card
might not boot. If a DWDM card does not boot, open CTC and ensure that the slot is not provisioned
for a different card type before assuming that the card is faulty.
• When the ONS 15454 M6 shelf is powered by the 15454-M6-DC20 power module, the power consumption
is limited to 960 W. During the boot up process, if a new line card causes the power consumption of the
shelf to exceed 960 W that line card will not boot up. The PWR-CON-LMT alarm is raised in the Alarms
tab in CTC when the installation or pre-provisioning of a card causes the power consumption to exceed
the limit of 960 W. The card due to which the PWR-CON-LMT alarm is raised must be immediately
removed from the shelf and de-provisioned in CTC. The calculated power consumption of the shelf can
be viewed in CTC under the Provisioning > Power Monitor tab. For details about power calculation, see
the "Power Calculation" section in the Cisco ONS 15454 Hardware Installation Guide.
• If the red FAIL LED does not turn on, check the power.
• If you insert a card into a slot provisioned for a different card, all LEDs turn off and a minor equipment
mismatch alarm appears on the CTC Alarms tab.
• If the red FAIL LED is on continuously or the LEDs behave erratically, the card is not installed.
If any of conditions are present, remove the card and repeat Steps
properly the second time, it might be defective. Contact your next level of support.
If custom NE defaults are required, they must be installed before you install the DWDM cards.
It is possible to close the latches/ejectors when the card is not completely plugged in. Ensure that
you cannot insert the card any further.
After installing the card, the following LED activity will occur:
• The card's LEDs will go through a sequence of activities (turn on, turn off, blinking.) This will
take 2 to 3 minutes.
• The ACT LED turns on.
• The signal fail (SF) LED might persist until all card ports connect to their far-end counterparts
and a signal is present.
