6.1 Intra-system Cable Installation
This section covers the installation of cables that run within frames and between frames in a multiple frame installation. The cables covered in this section have been connected at one end in the factory and have connectors and are labeled at the other end for ease of installation. Consult the Equipment Specification for this installation and the label at the unconnected end of each cable to determine its connection point.
warning:
The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the Outside Plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.The cables covered in this section are:

Interface Cable Installation
Examine the labels on the ends of the interface cables to determine the system backplane connection location “FROM” information on label and DSX cross-connect panel location “TO” information on label for each cable.
Run the cables on the cable rack to the cross-connect panel on the Miscellaneous Frame in groups of eight. There are four groups per extension shelf and groups per control shelf (a total of 20 per control shelf). The jack numbering on the cross-connect panel determines which side of the frame to run the cable. Viewing the frame from the rear, cables going to jacks #1 through #32 are run on the right side of the frame and cables #33 through #64 are run on the left side of the frame.
Procedure — Install Interface Cable
-
Secure connector to its respective receptacle on the backplanes. See Interface Cable Installation.
-
Tie cables to the shelf cable tie bar at the rear of the shelf.
-
Pull slack from each cable towards the cross-connect panel.
-
Dress cable bundles neatly and tie to the cable tie bars at the side of the frame.
-
Lace the bundles to the cable rack.
Note:
All cables must be laced onto the top traverse arms of each frame. Only lacing is used from the top traverse arms and above, on the frame and on the cable rack.Note:
Where the cable leaves the cable rack, the cable must be protected with fiber paper through out the system.

6.3 User Upgrade Procedures
This section describes procedures for upgrading your ASM and TDM cards, and your DSM cards loaded with the MCPM application.
Note:
DSM and EDSM cards loaded with the MCPM application and the E5-MCPM-B card will be referred to as “MCPM cards.”6.3.1 Upgrading to E5-MCPM-B Module (MCPM)
Note:
Do not attempt this procedure during the first hour of the day (0000 to 0059).Note:
Throughout this document, the term MCPM refers to both the E5-MCPM-B (P/N 870-3089-xx) and the EDSM-2G loaded with the MCPM application (P/N 870-2372-03) cards unless specifically noted otherwise.The Primary MCPM card performs all measurements collection and reporting functions and provides on-card RAM storage for collected data and scheduled reports. The Secondary MCPM provides a redundant backup for the Primary module, and assumes collection and reporting responsibilities on the loss of the Primary. TCP/IP connections are used to deliver measurement reports from the Primary MCPM card to the customer via an FTP client. The FTP configuration can be customized to support automatic transfer of scheduled reports from the client to the server.
6.3.2 Measurement Collection and Polling Module (MCPM)
This procedure upgrades DSM cards loaded with the MCPM application (870-2371-03) to EDSM cards with 32 MBFSRAM and 2 GBRAM loaded with the MCPM application (870-2372-03).
Note:

6.3.3 Removing a Card in an Existing EAGLE System
Use this procedure anytime a card is removed from a previously operational EAGLE system for upgrade purposes. See Maintenance Guide for card replacement. Failure to use this procedure may result in equipment damage. Use the procedures at the beginning of this section before physically removing any cards.
attention:
Before performing any maintenance procedures on the EAGLE, make sure you wear a wrist strap connected to the wrist strap grounding point of the EAGLE System.Before removing, reseating, or initializing a card, inhibit any OAP terminal ports that are in-service normal (IS-NR) to ensure the card loads properly. No database updates or single command line entries should be made while the card is loading.
attention:
This procedure may interrupt service. When possible, perform maintenance during low traffic and database provisioning periods, such as the maintenance window.6.4 Fan Assembly Installation and Cabling
warning:
Do not carry exposed metal keys or tools in pockets or on belts when working on or around system equipment.warning:
Do not wear metal rings, watches, or jewelry on wrists or hands when working on system equipment or other related electrostatic sensitive components. Always wear a wrist strap or other electrostatic protection when handling printed circuit cards and other electrostatic sensitive devices.Caution:
Be sure to install the fan assembly 890-0001-04 before installing the HCMIM card.This section shows how to install the optional Fan Assembly 890-0001-04 and Fan Assembly 890-1038-01/890-1038-02. All of these fan assemblies can be installed in the standard frame and the Heavy Duty Frame. Be sure to determine which type of frame you have before performing these procedures.
6.4.1 Installing Fan Assembly 890-0001-04
Note:
Beginning with EAGLE software release 33.0, all systems with HCMIM cards must have the 890-0001-04 fan assembly installed.Tools needed:
-
#1 Flat screwdriver
-
#2 Philips screwdriver (long)
-
Fiber Paper (Approximately 2’ x 3’)
-
5/16” ratchet socket wrench
-
Tie Wraps
Procedure — Install and Retrofitting Fans
-
Determine which shelves will have HCMIM modules installed and be aware of hardware that needs to be retained or installed in a specific way.
-
Place a piece of fiber paper on the top of the shelf below where the fan is to be installed to ensure that nothing will drop into equipment below the new fan.
-
Make sure to pull both dummy fuses from the appropriate fuse locations for the A and B fan power. Use the following guidelines to determine fuse locations:
-
The fuse card located on the Fuse and Alarm Panel is marked FAN A and FAN B. Fuse positions 6, 12, and 18 are the correct locations on the FAP faceplate.
-
Fuse position 6 is for the fan unit directly below the x100 shelf.
-
Fuse position 12 is for the fan directly below the x200 shelf.
-
Fuse position 18 is for the fan directly below the x300 shelf.
-
All fans are to be fused at 3As, with blue flags, per feed. Fill out the fuse card completely.
-
Ensure the FAP fuse location for the fan is properly labeled.
-
-
If you are installing the fan assembly into an existing frame, remove the four screws (two on each side) that attach the air baffle to the mounting brackets. Do not remove the screws holding the side brackets to the frame at this time. Support the baffle while you remove the screws.
Figure 6-13 System Air Baffle
-
Remove the baffle through the front of the frame. Then, remove the two screws holding the left and right side baffle brackets to the frame and remove the brackets.
-
Install the new side brackets for the new fan tray into the frame. The side brackets are installed from the front of the frame just below the shelf containing that cards that require the fan. Use the 12-24-x1/2 screws provided to attach the brackets to the left and right front frame rails. The top screw hole is 5/16 inch below the shelf containing the cards. Be sure not to completely tighten the brackets at this time.
Figure 6-14 Attach side fan bracket to front frame rail
-
Slide the brackets in toward the center of the frame so the outside of the bracket is flush with the side of the frame as shown in Figure 6-15.
Figure 6-15 Slide the side fan brackets flush with the Frame
-
Verify whether the frame type is a standard or heavy duty so that you can ensure the fan tray bracket will be mounted correctly. Use the following mounting positions:
-
Use the side holes on the fan tray bracket that are closest to the front of the frame if you are installing in a standard frame.
-
Use the holes closest to the rear of the frame if installing in a heavy duty frame.
Figure 6-16 Side bracket mounting positions on fan tray bracket.
-
-
Insert the fan tray bracket (P/N 652-0012-01) into the space left by the baffle under the card shelf. The untightened side brackets will slide outward slightly to accommodate the fan tray bracket as it is inserted. They should remain flush against the fan tray bracket.
Figure 6-17 Insert fan tray bracket
Note:
When inserting the fan tray bracket, be sure not to pinch cables between the bottom of the shelf and the fan tray bracket. -
From inside the frame, screw the fan tray bracket to the side brackets with one hand while using the other hand to support the fan tray bracket. Use two 8-32 phillips screws for each side bracket. See Figure 6-18.

-
Remove the new fan tray from the container. The fan tray is shipped with the three fans already installed.
Figure 6-19 Fan Tray
-
Insert the fan tray into the fan tray bracket. You might need to tilt the fan tray up as it is pushed in so that it is completely inserted into the bracket. After insertion, be sure the front of the fan tray is recessed in 1/2 inch with respect to the front frame rails.
Figure 6-20 Fan tray inserted into fan tray bracket in the frame- front view
-
When the fan tray is aligned and in place, attach the fan tray to the fan tray bracket by tightening the screws on the left and right sides of the rear of the fan tray bracket. There are two screws on each side. These screws must be tightened from the rear of the frame.
Figure 6-21 Tighten rear fan tray screws
-
At this time check and tighten all screws, including the screws holding the side brackets to the frame. The side bracket screws should be tightened fully from the rear of the frame. Use a long hex driver or flat head screw driver.
Figure 6-22 Tighten fan side bracket screws
-
Remove the piece of fiber paper on the top of the shelf below where the fan assembly was installed. This procedure is complete.
Caution:
Before powering up the fans, ensure that the shelf directly above the fan does not contain any empty slots. Install an air management card in any empty slots to ensure proper air flow. These filler cards have no electrical connection to the system. See Card Installation and Replacement for general card installation guidelines.

6.5 Source Timing
The EAGLE connects to the customer provided Building Integrated Time System (BITS) clocks through the backplane of the control shelf. The BITS clock provides a primary and secondary set of two separate clock signals; a composite (64KHz) clock signal and a high speed (2.048Mhz or 1.544Mhz) clock signal.
The section provides information about the High‑Speed Source Timing feature and instructions on how to implement the feature. Procedures include the replacement of the composite clock cables.
Note:
This feature does not cover the replacement of the control shelf, the control shelf backplane, or an EAGLE software upgrade. For these items, contact My Oracle Support (MOS) for assistance.Source Timing Overview
The High‑Speed (HS) Source Timing feature offers a mode of operation that allows a high speed capable (T1 or E1 rate) Link Interface Module (LIM‑ATM) or E1/T1MIM installed in an EAGLE STP to receive its transit timing reference directly from an external HS Source clock source, instead of slaving to the timing information contained in the received data. The timing information is then encoded into the T1 or E1 transmitted data stream used to synchronize downstream equipment. The site clock sources (both HS and composite) are connected with an RS422 compatible cable to the primary and secondary clock inputs of the EAGLE STP.
The high‑speed Source clock source provides the EAGLE STP with a second system clock input in addition to the original composite clock. Timing signals from both system clocks is distributed within the EAGLE STP to all LIM card slots.
The HS Source Timing feature is integrated into the EAGLE Control Card set.
Implementation of the HS Source Timing feature might require the correct Control Card set, the installation or presence of at least one ATMLIM card or E1/T1MIM, the replacement of both composite clock cables or adding new cables, and the provisioning of at least one ATMLIM card or E1/T1MIM. ATMLIM cards or E1/T1MIM that do not use the high‑speed clock source and LIM cards that continue using the composite clock source do not require any changes to card provisioning.
OAP terminals must be inhibited before replacing the Control Card set for the HS Source Timing feature to ensure that no OAP updates are inadvertently sent to the database during the implementation.
The composite clock cables connect the site’s composite (BITS) clocks with the EAGLE STP control shelf. Implementation of the HS Source Timing feature requires the replacement of both composite clock cables with two new HS Source clock cables (RS422 compatible) on control shelf backplane (P/N 850‑0330‑06 or ‑07 and later).
Only ATMLIM cards or E1/T1MIM can be configured or re‑configured for the HS Source Timing feature. Once the baseline hardware requirements for the HS Source Timing feature have been met, see the Source Timing Feature Requirement Matrix, install the cards.
Caution:
These are redundant systems to allow service during normal maintenance. When repairs require a total power disconnect, both input supply sources must be disconnected. This will cause service interruption and takes down the systems.-
Install an ATM card, add the card to the system database, and enable it for the HS Source Timing feature (ent‑slk:atmtsel=external); or
-
Install an E1/T1MIM, add the card to the system database, and enable it for the HS Source Timing feature (ent‑e1:e1tsel=external).
Reconfigure any existing ATMLIM card or E1/T1MIM to use the HS Source Timing feature. LIM cards that will continue using the composite clock will not require any changes to the card provisioning.
Note:
The EAGLE terminal output screens refer to the composite clocks as Building Integrated Timing Source (BITS) clocks. In this document, references to BITS and composite clocks are interchangeable.Source Timing Site Requirements
Implementation of the HS Source Timing feature requires the following software and hardware baselines:
- One of the following Control Card/Software Release sets:
- E5-based Control Cards with Software Release 40.1 or later
Note:
See "Hardware Baseline Table" in Release Notes for compatible card and control shelf and extension backplane part numbers. - Control shelves with backplane (P/N 850‑0330‑03 or 04), if adapter cables

6.5.1 HS Source and Composite Clock Cables on Backplane P/N 850‑0330‑06/07
On systems with backplane (P/N 850‑0330‑06/07) the HS source and composite clock cable (P/N 830‑0873‑xx) is used to transmit the clock outputs from the customer HS source and composite clock sources to the EAGLE control shelf backplane, providing the EAGLE with a second synchronized system clock. The EAGLE connects to the site source clock through two DB 15 style connectors (J49 and J48) on the backplane of the control shelf for primary and secondary clock signals. The two connectors are labeled Primary BITS and Secondary BITS. Both primary and secondary clock signals are sent to each terminal disk module (TDM). The TDM cards select between the primary and secondary clock signals to provide A and B system clocks to the rest of the EAGLE.
This procedure replaces the existing composite clock cables (P/N 830‑0226‑xx) with RS422 compatible cables (P/N 830‑0873‑xx or P/N 830‑1189‑xx) connected to the customer HS and composite clock sources.
Caution:
A system with DS0A links cannot run without a composite clock source. Take extreme caution when replacing the composite clock source cables. Remove one cable at a time and confirm between removals that the other composite clock source is active.Caution:
Perform this procedure during a maintenance window.Caution:
Prior to adding or replacing the high‑speed source and composite clock cables, perform an EAGLE system health check.Caution:
HS clock alarms are only generated if an external BITS clock source is being used.Caution:
Always replace the IDLE clock cable first, whether it is the primary or secondary cable position. After the replacement of the first (IDLE) cable position, ensure the system reports the clock status properly with an ACTIVE and IDLE clock output. If the output reports the correct status the ACTIVE cable can be disconnected for replacement. Disconnecting the ACTIVE cable will transition the previously IDLE clock to the ACTIVE clock forcing the system to use the new clock cable that was installed.Note:
In this procedure, the high‑speed clock status indicated in the output of therept-stat-clk
command reflects the presence of at least one ATM LIM card or E1/T1 MIM in the system. The status fields remain empty until the card is configured to use the high‑speed clock.
Procedure — Replace or Add HS source Timing Clock Cables with backplane (P/N 850‑0330‑06/07)
6.5.2 HS Source and Composite Clock Cables on Backplane P/N 850‑0330‑03/04
On systems with control shelf backplane (P/N 850‑0330‑03/04), the high‑speed source clock cable (P/N 830‑0873‑xx or P/N 830‑1189‑xx) sends only high‑speed clock signals to the EAGLE. The existing composite clock cables (P/N 830‑0226‑xx) continue to provide the low‑speed clock connections to connectors J42 and J41 (Primary BITS and Secondary BITS) on the backplane. The HS cables (P/N 830‑0873‑xx or P/N 830‑1189‑xx) send the HS primary and secondary clock signals through adapter cables (P/N 830‑0846‑01) to connectors J57 and J56 on the backplane. The two connectors are labeled ACLK3 and ACLK4.
This procedure describes the steps required to install the HS clock cables on the EAGLE with control shelf backplane (P/N 850‑0330‑03/04) using adapter cable (P/N 830‑0846‑01).
Caution:
A system with DS0A links cannot run without a composite clock source. This procedure requires removing and replacing the ACLK3 cables to frame 3 (shelves 4100, 4200, 4300) and frame 4, ACLK4 (shelves 5100, 5200, 5300). Take extreme caution when removing and replacing the ACLK cables. Remove one cable at a time and confirm before removal that the BCLK clock source is active to that frame.Caution:
Perform this procedure during a maintenance window.Caution:
Prior to adding or replacing the high‑speed source and composite clock cables, perform an EAGLE system health check.Caution:
HS clock alarms are only generated for ATM LIM cards and E1/T1 MIM if the card is provisioned to use the HS clock.Caution:
Always replace the IDLE clock cable first, whether it's the primary or secondary cable position. After the replacement of the first (Idle) cable position, ensure the system reports the clock status properly with an active and idle clock output. If the output reports the correct status you are know able to replace the active cable which will force the system to use the new clock cable (idle) position and it will transition state to active.Caution:
Connectors ACLK3 and ACLK4 propagate system A clocks to frame 3 (shelves 4100, 4200, and 4300) and frame 4 (shelves 5100, 5200, 5300). System A clock signals to cards in these shelves will be lost during this procedure. If the EAGLE contains these shelves with cards installed the cards switch automatically to the system B clock sources when the A clock sources are removed.Note:
In this procedure, the high‑speed clock status indicated in the output of therept-stat-clk
command reflects the presence of at least one ATM LIM card or E1/T1 MIM in the system. The status fields remain empty until the card is configured to use the high‑speed clock.
Procedure — Replace or Add HS source Timing Clock Cables with:backplane (P/N 850‑0330‑03/04)
6.6 A Clock and B Clock Cable Replacement
Proper support for HMUX and alarm reporting require that all A and B clock cables be of P/N 830-0398-xx (domestic) or P/N 830-1150-xx (international). Clock cables of P/N 830-0404-xx must be replaced. The A and B clock cables typically are from the control shelf and those coming in from an extension shelf. These cables contain proper alarm alert capabilities and support HMUX. See Figure 6-37 and Figure 6-38.
This procedure can also be used for regular clock cable replacement.
Perform the replacement during a maintenance window and prior to fan assembly installation.
