Maintaining the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Chassis

Maintaining the LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Chassis

This chapter describes maintenance procedures for the LightStream 1010 asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch and its field-replaceable units (FRUs). Your switch is configured as specified in your order and is ready for installation and startup when it leaves the factory. As your communication requirements change, you might want to upgrade your system, add components, or change the initial configuration. This chapter  describes the procedures for installing, replacing, and reconfiguring port adapter modules (PAMs), and for adding and replacing internal system components such as the system fan assembly and power supplies. Software and component upgrades require specific document part numbers and other frequently updated information; therefore, only basic replacement guidelines are included in this publication. Detailed, up-to-date instructions are shipped with the replacement part upgrade kits.

There are two kinds of replaceable system components: those that support hot-swapping and those that require you to shut down the system power before you replace them. Redundant power supplies, carrier modules (CMs), PAMs, and the fan assembly can be replaced while the system is operating.

Caution All CMs and PAMs support hot-swapping. The ATM Switch Processor (ASP) is a required system component. Removing an ASP while the system is operating will cause the system to shut down and may damage the ASP. Do not remove the ASP while the switch is powered on.

This chapter contains the following information:

Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source. To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the appendix "Translated Safety Warnings."

Installing and Replacing the ASP, CMs, and PAMs

All CMs and PAMs support hot swapping, which allows you to install, remove, replace, and rearrange the CMs or PAMs without turning off the system power. When the system detects that a CM or PAM has been installed or removed, it automatically runs diagnostic and discovery routines, acknowledges the presence or absence of the PAM, and resumes system operation without any operator intervention.

Caution All CMs or PAMs support hot-swapping; however, the ASP is a required system component. Removing an ASP while the system is operating will cause the system to shut down and may damage the processor.

For detailed ASP, CM, and PAM installation, replacement, and upgrade instructions, see the following documents:

Installing and Replacing Power Supplies

The switch is configured to your order and is ready for installation and startup when it leaves the factory. As your communication requirements change, you may want to upgrade your system and add or replace a power supply. This section describes the following power supply procedures:

Caution To avoid problems or damage to the switch, do not mix DC input power supplies with AC input power supplies in individual switches.

The DC power supply is required by many telcos because their wiring closets are equipped with DC power outlets. From an operational perspective, the DC power supply has the same characteristics as the AC version.

The following caution applies to DC input power supplies:

Caution The LightStream 1010 ATM switch must be installed only in restricted access area (dedicated equipment rooms, equipment closets, or the like) in accordance with articles 110-16, 110-17 and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

ATM Switch Processor Power Supply LEDs

On the ATM switch processor front panel, the PS0 LED goes on when the power supply in the left bay, labeled Power Supply 0, is installed and supplying power to the system. The PS1 LED goes on when the power supply in the right bay, labeled Power Supply 1, is installed and supplying power to the system. Both the LEDs should be on in systems with redundant power. The ATM switch processor LEDs are shown in Figure 6-1 and are described in Table 6-1.


Figure 6-1: ATM Switch Processor Power Supply LEDs



Table 6-1:
ATM Switch Processor Power Supply LEDs
LED Description

PS0

If the left bay power supply is operational, the PS0 LED is green.
If the left bay power supply is turned off or not operational, the PS0 LED is red.
If the left bay power supply is not installed, the PS0 LED is off.

PS1

If the right bay power supply is operational, the PS1 LED is green.
If the right bay power supply is turned off or not operational, the PS1 LED is red.
If the right bay power supply is not installed, the PS1 LED is off.

Power Supply LED

The green LED (see Figure 6-2) indicates the status of the power supply and internal DC voltages. The LED stays on when the power supply is on and receiving source power, providing +5, +12, and +24 VDC to internal components, and ensuring all internal voltages are within tolerance.

If the source power or any of the internal DC voltages exceed allowable tolerances, the LED goes off and the system environmental monitor messages indicate the out-of-tolerance line. Because the system requires all three output voltages for operation, the system will probably malfunction or shut down if any of the internal DC voltages reach an out-of-tolerance state.


Figure 6-2: Power Supply LED (AC power supply shown)


Overvoltage and Overtemperature Protection

The power supply monitors its own temperature and internal voltages. If the supply detects an overvoltage or overtemperature condition, it shuts down to avoid damage to the power supply or other system components.


Note If the power supply shuts down, wait for the supply to cool, then turn the power switch off (0), then on (-). If the power supply shuts down again, remove and replace it.

Removing and installing either AC or DC input power supplies is described in the following sections:

Removing and Installing AC Power Supplies

The 376W power supplies (AC-input) support redundant hot swapping. When two power supplies are installed, you can install, remove, or replace one of the supplies without affecting system operation. When power is removed from one supply, the redundant power feature causes the second supply to ramp up to full power and maintain uninterrupted system operation. In systems with dual power supplies, connect each power supply to separate input lines so that, in case of a line failure, the second source will most likely still be available and can maintain maximum overcurrent protection for each power connection.

A modular power cord should connect each AC power supply to a separate site power source.

Warning Use both hands to remove and install power supplies. To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the appendix "Translated Safety Warnings."

Note Each AC input power supply weighs 11 pounds (4.98 kilograms).
Warning   Keep hands and fingers out of the power supply bays. Voltage is present on the switch backplane when the system is operating. To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the appendix "Translated Safety Warnings."

Tools Required

You will need a 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver to remove and install filler plates and to loosen or tighten the captive installation screws on the AC power supply.

Always install a filler plate over an empty power-supply bay to protect the connectors from contamination.

Removing AC Power Supplies

Take the following steps to remove an AC power supply:

Step 1 Turn OFF the power switch on the power supply you are removing. (See Figure 6-3.)

Caution Failure to turn off the AC power supply could result in equipment damage.

Figure 6-3: AC Power-Supply Switch, AC Connection, and Captive Screws


Step 2 Disconnect the AC power cord from the power source.

Step 3 Remove the AC power cord from the power inlet.

Step 4 Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the captive installation screws on the sides of the supply. (See Figure 6-3.)

Caution Alternate tightening of the captive installation screws, every one or two turns, to avoid skewing the power supply.

Step 5 Grasp the AC power-supply handle with one hand and slowly pull the power supply out of the chassis towards you. (See Figure 6-4.)

Step 6 While holding the AC power-supply handle with one hand, place your other hand underneath to support the bottom of the supply, as shown in Figure 6-5.


Figure 6-5: Handling a Power Supply


Step 7 Pull the supply out of the bay and put it aside.

Step 8 If the power supply bay is to remain empty, install a blank power-supply filler plate over the opening and secure it with the mounting screws. This protects the inner chassis from dust and prevents accidental contact with live voltage at the rear of the bay.

Installing the AC Power Supply

Take the following steps to install an AC power supply:

Caution To avoid problems or damage to the switch, do not mix DC input power supplies with AC input power supplies in individual switches.

Step 1 Grasp the AC power-supply handle with one hand and place your other hand underneath to support the bottom of the supply, as shown in Figure 6-5.

Step 2 Place the AC power supply into the power-supply bay and push the AC power supply into the bay until the power supply faceplate is flush with the cover.

Step 3 Tighten each of the two captive installation screws by turning them clockwise.

Caution Alternate tightening of the captive installation screws, every one or two turns, to avoid skewing the power supply.
Warning   Keep hands and fingers out of the power supply bays. Voltage is present on the switch backplane when the system is operating. To see translated versions of this warning, refer to the appendix "Translated Safety Warnings."

Connecting AC Power

This section describes the procedures to connect AC power to the LightStream 1010 ATM switch at your site. Connect an AC-input power supply as follows:

Step 1 Plug a power cord into the power inlet of one AC power supply. (See Figure 6-6.)


Figure 6-6: Power Cord Connections


Step 2 Connect the other end of the AC power-supply cord to an input line.

To complete the installation, see the section "Powering On the AC Power Supply."

Connecting Redundant AC Power

Connect the redundant AC power supply to a separate input line. Connect the redundant AC-input power supply as follows:

Step 1 On the redundant AC power supply, plug in the AC power cord. (See Figure 6-6.)

Step 2 Connect the redundant AC power supply cord to an input line other than the initial AC power supply line.

Replacing the Chassis Fan Assembly

This section describes how to replace the fan assembly (the chassis fans in a single unit that draw in cooling air and distribute it across the ASP, CMs, and PAMs).


Note Each replaceable component ships with installation instructions. Refer to these instructions for updated procedures and information.
Caution Before performing any procedures in this chapter, review the sections "Safety Recommendations," "Safety with Electricity," and "Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage" in the chapter "Preparing for Chassis Installation."
Caution If you are replacing the fan assembly while the unit is operating, make sure the replacement fan assembly is ready to be installed immediately.

The chassis fan assembly draws cooling air in through the right side of the chassis and exhausts it through the left side, facing the rear of the switch, to cool the ASP and PAMs. The absence of cooling air can cause the interior of the chassis to heat up and may cause an overtemperature condition. Never operate the system if the fan assembly is not functioning properly.

The fan assembly is located at the left of the chassis card cage. (See Figure 6-14.) The fan assembly is secured to the backpanel with two captive installation screws.

Caution Never operate the system if the fan assembly is not functioning properly or if one is not reinstalled quickly. An overtemperature condition can result in severe equipment damage.

Figure 6-14: Chassis Fan Assembly (front view)


Tools Required

You need a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to remove the fan assembly.

Removing the Fan Assembly

Take the following steps to remove the existing chassis fan assembly:

Step 1 Locate the fan assembly (Figure 6-14), which is installed to the left of the card cage, under the power supply.

Step 2 Using a flat-blade screwdriver, loosen each of the two captive installation screws by turning them counterclockwise.

Step 3 When both screws are loosened, unscrew them from the chassis. These captive installation screws are fixed to the fan assembly; do not attempt to completely remove them.

Step 4 Grasp the fan assembly with both hands and pull it outward (toward you and away from the backplane) using steady pressure and jogging it until it frees the backplane.

Step 5 Lift the fan assembly out of the chassis and place it in a safe place.

If the power has not been turn off, quickly proceed to the following section to reinstall a fan assembly.

Caution Never operate the system if the fan assembly is not functioning properly or if one is not reinstalled quickly. An overtemperature condition can result in severe equipment damage.

Installing a New Fan Assembly

Take the following steps to install the new fan assembly:

Step 1 Hold the fan assembly with the two fans facing to the right.

Step 2 Place the fan assembly into the front chassis cavity so it rests on the floor of the chassis, then lift the fan assembly up slightly and align the top and bottom guides.

Step 3 Push the fan assembly into the chassis until the screws meet the chassis.

Step 4 Tighten each of the two captive installation screws by turning them clockwise.

Checking the Installation

To verify that the new fan assembly is installed correctly, listen for the fan assembly; you should immediately hear it operating. If you do not hear it, turn off the system power and ensure that the fan assembly power is completely inserted in the chassis and the faceplate is flush with the switch backpanel. If after several attempts the fan assembly does not operate, or if you experience trouble with the installation (for instance, if the captive installation screws do not align with the backplane holes), contact a customer service representative for assistance.

The fan assembly replacement is now complete.
