Installing Power Supplies The separate optional AC power unit ships with one AC power supply module. The AC power unit can include a second AC power supply for redundancy, as shown in Figure 3-2. Note: Regardless of whether your power is AC or DC, you must use at least one DC power module. Two of each DC and AC is recommended for redundancy. However, if necessary, you can use two AC units with one DC unit.

Installing Power Supplies Removing and Installing a Power Filler Plate The purpose of the power filler plate is to maintain the proper cooling airflow in the Versalar 15000. If you remove a power module from the Versalar 15000 without replacing it, you must install a power filler plate. When you add a second power module, you must first remove the installed power filler plate from the redundant power slot. To remove a power filler plate: 1. Remove the bottom front bezel.

Operating the Versalar 15000 Turning the Versalar 15000 On and Off The following instructions are for a Versalar 15000 with a DC power source and for a Versalar 15000 with the AC power unit installed. Turning the Versalar 15000 with a DC Power Source On and Off To turn on and off the Versalar 15000 with a DC power source: 1. Verify that a power module is installed in the left power module slot as you face the front of the Versalar 15000. 2.
PAGE 152
Installing and Maintaining the Versalar Switch Router 15000 4. Verify that the power output LED for each power module lights green. The LED on the DC power module is labeled DC Out OK. If the LED is not on, replace the power module (see “Removing and Installing a Power Filler Plate” on page 3-7). 5. Verify that air is flowing from the cooling fans out through the top of the Versalar 15000.

Installing and Maintaining the Versalar Switch Router 15000 OC-12c/STM-4c ATM Interface Card Specifications The OC-12c/STM-4c ATM interface card provides the Versalar 15000 with a 622 Mb/s ATM interface. This connection is concatenated, which provides for increased efficiency by eliminating the need to partition the bandwidth. Each OC-12c/STM-4c ATM interface card incorporates the following primary components: • Reassembly The transceivers support packet reassembly (converting ATM cells to packets).

Technical Specifications DS3 Interface Card Specifications The DS3 port adapter’s T3 port is designed to receive and transmit at the DSX-3 level while driving and receiving from a 75-ohm coaxial cable (ATT 728A type coax). The T3 port connects directly to any equipment with DSX-3 level BNC connectors. Table A-5 lists the specifications for the DS3 interface. Table A-5. 308684-B Rev 00 Specifications for the DS3 Interface Parameter Specification Line rate 44.

Versalar 15000 Card Glossary Access Interface Card Supports network layer processing for access processor (AP) cards. In the Versalar 15000, it occupies slots 1 to 5 in the back of the chassis and includes: • Hex T3 (T3) cards • Access redundancy module (ARM) cards • Dual OC-3 (single-mode and multimode) for CAP Access Processor (AP) Card Provides layer 2 processing. The Versalar 15000 supports five AP cards in the front of the chassis in slots 1 to 5.

Installing and Maintaining the Versalar Switch Router 15000 Alarm Terminal Block Identifies the module located on the SSP interface Ethernet or SSP interface console card that permits a connection to an alarm. The major and minor alarms provide connection to normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) relay contacts. When the Versalar 15000 logs certain fault event messages, such as component failure, loss of power, or loss of signal, the alarm relay activates an external visible or audible alarm.

Versalar 15000 Card Glossary Multimode Identifies a type of fiber optic transmission. Signals can travel farther through single-mode fiber than through multimode fiber. The Versalar 15000 supports several types of cards, among them OC-3c and OC-12c, that come in both singlemode and multimode fiber. Nonredundant Configuration Does not allow failover to a redundant AP card since there is no access redundancy module (ARM) installed in slot 5.

Installing and Maintaining the Versalar Switch Router 15000 SSP Interface Console Card Occupies slot 10 in the back of the chassis. SSP Interface Ethernet Card Supports the 10/100 Mb Ethernet interface. It occupies slot 9 in the back of the chassis. Trunk Interface Card Supports network interfaces for trunk processor (TP) cards. It occupies chassis slots 11 and 12 in the back of the chassis.
