One optional optical bypass module hosting panel that holds up to two optical bypass modules. • In addition, the Cisco SCE8000 chassis contains two power supply modules in a 1+1 configuration, as well as a fan tray module. Cisco SCE8000 10GBE Installation and Configuration Guide...
Introduction to the Cisco SCE8000 10GBE Platform Service Control Module (SCE8000-SCM-E) Service Control Module (SCE8000-SCM-E) The Cisco SCE8000 contains one or two SCE8000-SCMs located in slots#1 and #2 (the top two slots). The Service Control module contains ports and LEDs as shown in Figure 2-2...

Steady amber — Only one power supply is functioning normally. • Unlit — No power from either power supply. On a slave SCE8000-SMC_E module (in the second slot), this LED is always off. Status The Status LED indicates the operational status of the Cisco SCE8000 system, as follows: Unlit —...
A SIP contains one or more subslots (bays), which are used to house one or more SPAs. The SPA • provides interface ports for network connectivity. During normal operation the SIP should reside in the SCE8000 chassis fully populated either with • functional SPAs in all subslots, or with a blank filler plate (SPA-BLANK=) inserted in all empty subslots.
Introduction to the Cisco SCE8000 10GBE Platform Introduction to SIPs and SPAs Shared Port Adapters The SPA supported by the Cisco SCE8000-SIP is the 1-Port 10-Gigabit Ethernet SPA, SPA-1X10GE-L-V2 The following list describes some of the general characteristics of a SPA: •...

• The 1-Port 10GBE SPA Interface Module The SCE8000-SIP is installed in slot #3 of the Cisco SCE8000 chassis. It hosts up to four single-width, single-height 1-Port 10GBE SPA interface modules, but in the Cisco SCE8000, it must be configured with either two 1-Port 10GBE SPAs (in the top two subslots) or four 1-Port 10GBE SPAs, to provide interfaces for either one or two complete traffic links.
Optical Bypass Module (OPB-SCE8K), page 2-11 • The Cisco SCE8000 platform optical bypass module preserves the service provider 10GBE links under all circumstances. At power failure the bypass is automatically activated. It can also be activated by the Cisco SCE8000 software.
During a power failure —The Cisco SCE8000 has two power supplies. A power failure occurs only when both of them fail. In a case where the Cisco SCE8000 platform must be replaced, it is possible to remove the bypass modules from the SCE8000 chassis without disconnecting them from the network and then reinstall them in the new SCE platform, so that traffic links are preserved even in a case of complete failure and replacement of the Cisco SCE8000 platform.

OPB-SCE8K-MM supports Multi-Mode optics and should be used with SCE8000 equipped with Multi-Mode optics. The optical bypass module is installed either internally, in slot #4 of the Cisco SCE8000 chassis or in an external mounting panel in the rack. Up to two optical bypass modules can be mounted internally, supporting inline insertion into two links.
Green — Bypass module has been de-activated (traffic flows through the • Cisco SCE8000 platform) Off — Bypass module is active (traffic does not flow through the Cisco • SCE8000 platform) Optical Bypass Module Specifications Fiber Cable Type The fiber cable type within the Optical Bypass Module area as follows: OPB-SCE8K-MM: 50 um core.
