Many existing and new hardware systems, cards, and modules are now available in conformal
coated variants. Software releases that support conformal coated variants are the same as the
software releases for non-conformal variants of the same hardware.

The SAR-8 provides 2 Control and Switching Module slots. The CSM [C-S-M] is a field-replaceable
module integrated with an Ethernet switch-based fabric. It provides hot redundant protection for
the IP/MPLS control planes and database, switch fabric protection, external synchronization input
and output ports, Serial and Ethernet management ports and Alarm interface input and output
ports.
The CSM connects directly to the backplane and carries traffic between adapter cards.
The switch fabric receives and directs traffic to the appropriate destinations according to the
routing information.
The CSMv2 provides 2 additional ToD in and out ports and increased chassis throughput.
The CSMv1 supports a maximum bandwidth of 1 Gigabits per second per adapter card slot.
The CSMv2 supports 10/2.5/1 Gigabits per second in the first two adapter card slots and 2.5/1
Gigabits per second in the remaining four adapter card slots.
slots
Support for 2.5 Gigabits per second and 10 Gb/s adapter cards on the 7705 SAR-8 v2 chassis
requires use of the CSMv2.
The SAR-8 supports two variants of the CSMv1; a 48 volts DC variant and a +24 volts DC
variant.
There is one CSMv2; it supports both 48 volts DC and +24 volts DC.
Each CSM ships with one compact flash memory device that stores system boot images, software

The CSMv1 and CSMv2 both support the Management Ethernet port with full and half duplex
mode, 10M/100M speed, and Auto negotiation.
The DB-9 Console port supports baud rates of 9600, 19.2k, 38.4k, 57.6k or 115.2K. A standard
RS-232 serial cable with a male DB9 connector is supported.
The management port supports telnet connections to the router from a PC or a workstation
connected to the network. The router must be initialized and have an IP address assigned to the
management Ethernet port in the BOF, and the telnet server must be enabled.
The CSMv1 supports 2 MHz, 5 MHz, and 10 MHz synchronization.
The CSMv2supports 2 MHz and 10 MHz synchronization.
1.0/2.3 coaxial connectors are used for external synchronization input and output.

The 7705 SAR-8 supports CSM redundancy when two CSMs are installed in the CSM slots.
The first CSM card installed in slot A or B becomes the active card; the second CSM installed
becomes the hot-standby.
Preference is given to the CSM in slot A if two are installed and initialized at the same time.
Configuration and learned state on the active CSM are buffered and propagated over the GigE
matelink to the standby CSM.
If the active CSM fails, the features are brought up on the standby CSM that takes over the
mastership Operational protocols and services stay up and the standby CSM transparently
takes over from the formerly active CSM.
When the failed CSM comes back online, it assumes the role of the standby.
You can configure automatic synchronization for the CSMs using the CLI (C-L-I) or 5620 SAM
network manager.
g
It is possible to apply automatic synchronization to the configuration file or to the BOF, Boot.Idr,
config and image files.
Note that CSMv1 is shown in the CLI as csm-1g and the CSMv2 is shown as csmv2-10g.
(3The CSM provides 1.0/2.3 coaxial connectors for an external synchronization input and output.
For redundant CSM configurations, a Y-cable can be ordered from Alcatel-Lucent to connect the
Sync In connectors on the two CSMs to the same external synchronization source.

The 7705 SAR-8 provides six slots for the available interface adapter cards.
This slide shows the interface adapter cards that are supported for the 7705 SAR-8. More details
about the cards and their supported functionality in the 7705 SAR-8 chassis will be described
later.
Conformal coated variants are available for some of the adapter cards.

The SAR-8 and SAR-8 v2 chassis are each available in a 48/60 volts DC version and a +24 volts
DC version.
When a chassis is used for 48/60 volts DC operation, the 48/60 volts DC version of the
components must be installed.
When a chassis is used for +24 volts DC operation
operation, the +24 volts DC version of the components
must be installed.
Each SAR-8 chassis has two power connectors mounted on the front of the chassis.
These connectors provide access for two independent power feeds.
Power redundancy for the system is provided when both are used.
The SAR-8 uses a distributed power design, where each CSM and adapter card provides
independent power for its own functionality.
The power system has no field replaceable parts.
DC power cables are available from Alcatel-Lucent.
The DC power LEDs are located on the Fan module.

The SAR-8 fan module houses 8 fans.

Air enters from the intake vent on the right side of the chassis and exits through the exhaust vent on the
left side.
Fans operate at full-speed and are always operational, regardless of ambient temperature.
Individual fans provide sufficient cooling if another fan fails.
The fans are not field
field-replaceable.
replaceable
The Fan LED indicates the operational status of the fans: green indicates normal, amber indicates 1 or
more fans out of order, and red indicates a fan failure.
The fan module must be replaced if 2 or more fans fail.
A critical alarm is generated if a fan has a fault.
Alarms are raised if the temperature exceeds 75 degrees Celsius or 167 Fahrenheit.
