General Maintenance Guidelines

This section covers the following topics:

Installation and Replacement Suggestions

The following examples list recommended installation and replacement practices for the NI-2 cards.


Caution Any card that is only partially connected to the backplane can disrupt system operation.

Hot Swapping Cards

The NI-2 card supports hot swapping. Hot swapping allows you to remove and replace the cards without disconnecting the system power. When the system detects that you have added or removed a card, it automatically runs diagnostic and discovery routines, and acknowledges the presence or absence of the card.

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage

Proper ESD protection is required whenever you handle Cisco DSLAM equipment. Installation and maintenance personnel should be properly grounded using ground straps to eliminate the risk of ESD damage to the equipment. Cards are subject to ESD damage whenever they are removed from the chassis.

Removing and Installing the DS3/2DS3 NI-2 Cards

The following sections describe how to remove and replace or install a DS3/2DS3 NI-2 card.


Warning The ports labeled "ENET," "CNSL," and "AUX" are SELV circuits. SELV circuits should be connected only to other SELV circuits. Because the DSL circuits are treated like TNV, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the TNV circuits.


TimeSaver Cisco recommends that you label each data cable at both ends to identify its destination.


Caution Service is interrupted for the entire system when the NI-2 card is removed.


Caution Proper ESD protection is required each time you handle Cisco DSLAM equipment. Installation and maintenance personnel should be properly grounded using ground straps to eliminate the risk of ESD damage to the equipment. Cards are subject to ESD damage each time they are removed from the chassis.


Caution Installing the cards in the chassis with the power leads reversed can damage the cards.


Warning The power supply circuitry for the Cisco DSLAM equipment can constitute an energy hazard. Before you install or replace the equipment, remove all jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects can come into contact with exposed power supply wiring or circuitry inside the DSLAM equipment. This could cause the metal objects to heat up and cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the equipment.


Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a line card or a fan. Exposed circuitry could constitute an energy hazard.


Note   All cards must be fully seated in the chassis. A push on the faceplate of each card is required for the card to be fully seated.

Removing and Installing the OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 Cards

The following sections describe how to remove and replace or install an OC-3c/OC-3c NI-2 card.


Warning The ports labeled "ENET," "CNSL," and "AUX" are SELV circuits. SELV circuits should be connected only to other SELV circuits. Because the DSL circuits are treated like TNV, avoid connecting the SELV circuit to the TNV circuits.


TimeSaver Cisco recommends that you label each data cable at both ends to identify its destination.


Caution Service is interrupted for the entire system when the NI-2 card is removed.


Caution Proper ESD protection is required each time you handle Cisco DSLAM equipment. Installation and maintenance personnel should be properly grounded using ground straps to eliminate the risk of ESD damage to the equipment. Cards are subject to ESD damage each time they are removed from the chassis.


Caution Installing the cards in the chassis with the power leads reversed can damage the cards.


Warning The power supply circuitry for the Cisco DSLAM equipment can constitute an energy hazard. Before you install or replace the equipment, remove all jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects can come into contact with exposed power supply wiring or circuitry inside the DSLAM equipment. This could cause the metal objects to heat up and cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the equipment.


Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a line card or a fan. Exposed circuitry could constitute an energy hazard.


Warning Do not stare into the beam or view it directly with optical instruments.


Note   All cards must be fully seated in the chassis. A push on the faceplate of each card is required for the card to be fully seated.
