This installation note describes how to install and configure the spares for the Cisco Metro 1500 series metropolitan area network (MAN) dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system.
For a complete description of the commands to configure and maintain the Cisco Metro 1500 series system, refer to the Cisco Metro 1500 Series Management Guide. For complete Cisco Metro 1500 series installation information, refer to the Cisco Metro 1500 Series Operations Guide. The documents are available on the Documentation CD-ROM, the World Wide Web, or in print.
This document contains the following sections:
This section describes installing, removing, and cabling modules in the chassis. The following modules are covered:
Refer to Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4 for specific module slot locations.




The following tools are required for installing modules in the chassis:
![]() |
Warning Before you install, operate, or service the system, read the Site Preparation and Safety Guide. This guide contains important safety information you should know before working with the system. |
You can add a module to your system without interrupting unit operation.
![]() |
Note WCMs are used in pairs. Adding a channel to a communication link requires adding WCMs of the same type at both ends of the link. |
![]() |
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. |
To install a module, complete these steps:
Step 2 Remove two screws from the protective front panel with a Phillips screwdriver.
Step 3 Lift the new module from the shipping container. Use canned, dry, oil-free, compressed air to blow off dust particles.
Step 4 Carefully insert the module into the chassis slot while guiding the upper and lower edges of the module in the tracks until its connectors contact the backplane connectors. A force of up to 1 lb (4.5 newton) is required to push the module completely into the chassis.
![]() |
Caution It is critical to insert the module gently. If a force greater than 1 lb (4.5 newton) is needed to push in the module, stop immediately. |
Step 5 Inspect the electrical connector. If the connector is not damaged, repeat the insertion procedure.
Step 6 After achieving full contact, secure the module in the chassis using the two screws on the front panel of the module while holding the module in position.
To remove a module from the Cisco Metro 1500 series unit without interrupting unit operation, complete these steps:
![]() |
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.Remove the acrylic cover on the front of the chassis with a screwdriver. |
Step 2 Remove any cables and jumpers from the desired module, and install appropriate dust covers on the fiber cable connectors and the blind plugs that go into the module connectors.
Step 3 Remove the two screws from the protective front panel of the desired module with a screwdriver.
Step 4 Carefully remove the module.
Step 5 Install the protective front panel.
Step 6 Place the removed module in an appropriate container for shipping and storage.
Step 7 Mount the acrylic cover on the front of the frame of the unit and secure it with the four screws.
After you have installed the module, you are ready to cable it. Refer to the Cisco Metro 1500 Series Operations Guide for instructions on cabling the different types of modules.
The ferrules and end-face surfaces of fiber components must be kept clean and free of contaminants. To clean the connectors and loop plugs, complete these steps:
Step 2 Blow dry with canned, dry, oil-free, compressed air.
Step 3 Inspect the ferrule.
If the surface is not clean or does not have a uniform shine, repeat the process using a fresh surface of the alcohol pad.
![]() |
Caution Do not clean the inside of the connector adapters. |
This section covers the removal and replacement of the power supply module (PSM).
![]() |
Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. |
The Cisco Metro 1500 series system has two identical, fully redundant PSMs. Each PSM can take over the power needs of the entire system.These PSMs provide 5V and 30A to the system, as well as full input-to-output, input-to-case, and output-to-output isolation.
![]() |
Caution If powered down, please wait at least 10 seconds before you switch the unit on again. |
Turn the power on or off using the key switch (refer to Figure 5). This switch supplies power to the redundant power supplies. You can only move the switch to on or off. Two keys are shipped with each unit and all units use the same key. The key can be removed in either the 1 or 0 position.
The status of power on and off is indicated on the display panel in front of the chassis and can be observed using network management at the NEMI. Refer to the Cisco Metro 1500 Series Management Guide for more information about power supply observation using network management and the NEMI.
If the green LED on a power supply is off while the unit is powered on, and the power cable is plugged in the corresponding power socket, either the cable is faulty or the power supply itself has failed. First, check the power cable to make sure that it is securely plugged into the unit. If the cable is correctly attached, replace the power supply. During this procedure, the system will keep running with its remaining power supply. The redundant power supply continues to provide uninterrupted service but you should check and replace the failed unit as soon as possible.
![]() |
Note The power socket labeled "Power 1" supplies current to the left power supply. The power socket labeled "Power 2" supplies current to the right power supply. See Figure 6. |


All PSMs are hot-swappable and can be replaced while the system is in service. To replace a PSM, complete these steps:
Step 2 Pull out the malfunctioning module.
Step 3 Slide in the spare module.
Step 4 Reconnect the power cord.
Step 5 Note that the green LED is on.
Step 6 Tighten the four panel screws.
This section repeats in multiple languages the warnings in this note. These translated warnings can be used with other documents related to this note.
