Unpacking and Inspecting the Module As you unpack the module, inspect it for shipping damage. If you find any damage, contact Cisco Services. Refer to Customer Information (on page 139) for contact information. Equipment and Tools Needed Before you begin, make sure that the module is in good condition.
Site Requirements Site Requirements Before you begin, make certain that your installation site meets the requirements discussed in this section. Access Requirements WARNING: Use this product in locations that restrict access to all persons who are not authorized. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage may occur. Ensure that only authorized personnel have access to this equipment.
Space Requirements This is a single-width, half-height module. Actual space requirements depend on whether the module is installed in a Prisma II standard or a Prisma II XD chassis. Prisma II Standard Chassis Installation When installed in a Prisma II standard chassis, the module is placed in a host module and then inserted into the chassis in slots 5 through 16.
Site Requirements Prisma II Standard Chassis Style The Prisma II standard chassis may be configured as front-access or rear-access depending on the system you have purchased. Power, RF input or output, and other connectors may be located on either the front or rear of the chassis. Connections to the chassis serve the same function and are made in the same manner regardless of the location of the connectors or chassis configuration.

The power inlets, RF input/output, and RF ports are located on the recessed bottom...
Site Requirements Prisma II XD Chassis Style The Prisma II XD chassis back panel serves as both a connector panel and a receptacle for AC power supply modules and the ICIM2-XD, when installed. The RF connectors are arranged in pairs, and each pair is numbered to identify its corresponding module slot.
Complete the appropriate procedure below to connect RF cables for the module. Note: This procedure assumes that the chassis is mounted in a rack. Standard Prisma II Chassis Note: This procedure assumes a host module with receivers in both lower and upper half-slot positions.
Page 57
If F connectors are installed, use a 7/16-in. open-end wrench to secure all cables to the connectors at the chassis. Prisma II XD Chassis Attach a 75-ohm RF cable to the appropriate RF destination. Locate the RF ports at the back of the chassis. In this diagram, the RX1 and RX3 are routed to Port A, RX2 and RX4 are routed to Port B.
All Prisma II high-density application modules must be installed in a host module before they can be mounted in a standard Prisma II Chassis. Prisma II host modules prior to Rev C (date codes through A2006) do not support the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus.
Page 59
Installing the Module in the Chassis Complete the following steps to install the application modules in the host module. Align the ridges on the top and bottom of the module with the guide slots located on the host module and the chassis. Be careful to keep the module level as you slide it into the host to avoid bending the pins on the host back plane.
Chapter 2 Module Installation To Install the Module in the Chassis Note: This procedure assumes that the chassis is mounted in a rack. Locate the fiber guides at the bottom of the chassis and the module guide slots inside the chassis as shown in the following illustration. Align the ridges on the top and bottom of the host module with the guide slots on the chassis.
Fill any unused chassis slots with module blanks to help ensure proper cooling air flow. Blanks for high density modules are available to fill unused host module slots. To Install the Module in a Prisma II XD Chassis Note: This procedure assumes that the chassis is installed in a rack. WARNING: Avoid damage to your eyes! Do not look into any optical connector while the system is active.
Page 62
Chapter 2 Module Installation Locate the fiber guides at the bottom of the chassis and the module guide slots inside the chassis as shown in the following illustration. Align the ridges on the top and bottom of the module with the module guide slots located on the chassis.
Cleaning Optical Connectors Cleaning Optical Connectors CAUTION: Proper operation of this equipment requires clean optical fibers. Dirty fibers will adversely affect performance. Proper cleaning is imperative. The proper procedure for cleaning optical connectors depends on the connector type. The following describes general instructions for fiber optic cleaning. Use your company's established procedures, if any, but also consider the following.
Chapter 2 Module Installation To Clean Optical Connectors Warning: Avoid personal injury! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Avoid personal injury! The laser light source on this equipment (if a transmitter) or the fiber cables connected to this equipment emit invisible laser radiation.
Avoid direct exposure to the laser light source. Ensure that the fiber cable is terminated before "fishing." The Fiber Fish tool that was shipped with the Prisma II Chassis is used to pull an optical cable from the rear of the chassis to the front of the chassis so the optical cables can be connected to optical connectors on the front panel of the modules.
Chapter 2 Module Installation To Pull the Optical Cable to the Module Insert the Fiber Fish tool through the slot located just above the bottom of the chassis. At the rear of the chassis, locate the appropriate optical cable. Insert the optical cable into the notched area of the Fiber Fish tool as shown below.
Connecting Optical Cables To Connect Optical Cables to Module Important: Observe laser safety precautions. Refer to Laser Safety information earlier in this guide. Note: This procedure assumes that the chassis is mounted in a rack and that the optical cable has been installed at the node. CAUTION: The OPM is sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
Page 68
Chapter 2 Module Installation Route the other end of the optical cable to the appropriate destination.
ICIM IN and ICIM OUT Connectors Every Prisma II standard and Prisma II XD chassis has a DB9 ICIM IN and a DB9 ICIM OUT connector for the purpose of chassis-to-chassis ICIM connections. ICIM IN is a female connector and ICIM OUT is a male connector.
Chapter 2 Module Installation locally or from the factory. The chassis data sheet lists the part number for a 6-foot DB9 Female to DB9 Male serial extension cable. The connectors are a serial 9-pin D- shell (EIA 574/232). To Connect Chassis-to-Chassis ICIM IN and ICIM OUT Ports Connect the serial extension cable from the ICIM OUT of the chassis containing the ICIM to the ICIM IN connector of the second chassis.
107). External Alarm Connections The Prisma II Standard and XD Chassis can be configured for local hard-wired redundancy using the ALARM IN and ALARM OUT connectors located on the connector interface panel. A pair of application modules can be configured in a Master-Slave relationship so that, if the Master fails, the Slave takes over in response to ALARM IN and ALARM OUT signaling.
Module Installation ALARMS IN and ALARMS OUT Connectors Every Prisma II standard and Prisma II XD chassis provides connectors for external alarms to and from each module slot. These alarm connectors are located on the chassis connector panel and are labeled ALARMS IN and ALARMS OUT.
Master/Slave Illustration Redundancy Interface Panel The Prisma II Redundancy Interface Panel is an accessory to the Prisma II platform. It is intended to be used with the master/slave feature and the contact closure alarm feature of the Prisma II platform.
