4. INSTALLATION

The following section provides information for installing an 86498 ETHER-1000
unit. The ETHER-1000 unit is shipped from the factory as per the Node
Assignment Drawing (NAD) for the purchased system. All spare units or loose
units are shipped with factory default settings in memory.
The 86418 ETHER-1000 unit has ESDS components and therefore standard
static protection precautions should be observed when handling, packing

Pre-installation

Visually check the unit for damage. Ensure that screws are firmly tightened and
in place. Keep the shipping containers and packing materials for future use. If a
unit is damaged, file a claim with the shipping agent or the local GE Multilin
representative.

Shelf Position

The 86498-01 ETHER-1000 unit can be installed in:
- slots 2 to 10 of a (B)86430-01 Common Equipment Shelf;
slots 2 to 14 of a (B)86430-04 Expansion Shelf;
-
slots 2 to 14 of a (B)86430-02 Expansion Shelf if the shelf spacer
-
PB000086 with removable front panel is used immediately above it.
Note: At OC-48 nodes, the ETHER-1000 unit must be installed in the Common
Equipment Shelf due to limited length of the required CBW cable (see Table 3 on
page 53).
ETHER-1000 unit is installed with a two-slot-wide paddleboard (consisting of
86498-94 bottom paddleboard assembly and one or two 4-port top paddleboard
modules). The paddleboard is installed in the same slots but on the rear side of
the backplane.
Figure 27 shows a typical rack layout for a ring-configured system as it appears
on a NAD.
Use of "short" (B)86430-11/-12/-36 shelves is not recommended because Ethernet cables

connected to the paddleboard would protrude beyond the acrylic cover.
