Chapter 2 Quick Installation Procedures
Common Installation Procedures
Caution Use extreme care when removing or installing connectors so you do not damage the connector housing
or scratch the end-face surface of the fiber. Always install filler modules on unused or disconnected
components to prevent contamination. Always clean fiber connectors before installing them.
Use a swab saturated with isopropyl alcohol to clean the end-surfaces. Use dry, oil-free compressed air
after applying the isopropyl alcohol.
To clean the optical connectors, follow these steps:
Step 1 Wipe the ferrules and end-face surfaces of the connector gently with an alcohol pad from the cleaning
kit. Be sure that the pad makes full contact with the end-face surfaces. Wait five seconds for the surfaces
to dry and repeat.
Step 2 Blow dry the connectors with canned, dry, oil-free, compressed air.
Step 3 Use a magnifying glass to inspect the ferrule.
The connectors used inside the system have been cleaned by the manufacturer and connected to the
adapters in the proper manner. The operation of the system should be error free if the customer provides
clean connectors on the application side, follows the previous directions, and ensures the following:
• Clean the connectors using lens tissues before connecting to the adapters. Use pure alcohol to
remove soil.
• Do not clean the inside of the connector adapters. Do not use force or quick movements when
connecting the fiber optic connectors in the adapters.
• Cover the connector adapters to avoid soiling or contaminating the inside of the adapters while
cleaning the chassis. When not using the connectors, cover the connectors and adapters to avoid the
inside of the adapters or the surface of the connectors from getting dirty.
Note If the surface is not clean or does not have a uniform shine, repeat the process using a fresh
surface of the alcohol pad.
Powering Up the Chassis
Before powering up the chassis, the following conditions must be met:
• The system is set for the correct AC (or DC) power voltages. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP
Hardware Installation Guide or the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx Hardware Installation Guide for power
voltages.
• You must verify the rectifier status. Use a voltmeter on the DC output of the rectifier to verify the
operational status of the rectifier.
• The power cables are connected to the system.
• A console terminal is connected to the system.
