• The CVX switch must be connected to the DC power supply grounded conductor or bonding jumper from the
grounding terminal bar or bus to which the DC power supply grounded conductor is connected.
• The CVX switch must be located in the same area as other equipment having a connection between the grounded
conductor of the same DC supply circuit and the grounding conductor, and also the point of grounding of the DC
system. The DC system must not be grounded elsewhere.
• For the CVX 1800 switch, the DC power supply must be located on the same premises as the CVX 1800 switch.
• You must not switch or disconnect devices in the grounded conductor between the DC power supply and the point
of connection of the grounding electrode conductor.
• A readily accessible disconnect device may be provided in the fixed wiring for a DC power supply. The device must
be rated for the voltage and current specified.
• Before installing equipment in a rack, consider the overall loading of the branch circuit.
For safety purposes, the DC power supply requires connection to a grounded outlet. To prevent possible injury from
voltages on the telecommunications network, disconnect all telecommunications network lines before disconnecting the
DC power supply from the grounded outlet.

Rack Requirements
The rack must meet the following requirements:
• Heavy-duty steel construction
• EIA standard hole spacing, or a Telco rack with 25 mm spacing
• Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) or 23 in. (58.42 cm), depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)
Nortel Networks Rack Recommendation

Nortel Networks recommends using a Physical Telecommunications Environment
(PTE) 2000 rack.
Caution: Nortel Networks does not authorize the use of racks with front
or rear doors or side panels. The operating environment must provide
airflow at 200 cubic feet per minute (CFM) per CVX 1800 chassis at a
temperature range of 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). The optimal ambient
temperature for reliable CVX 1800 operation is 68° to 77°F (20° to
25°C).
Rack Placement
The rack you plan to install should be in an area that is:
• A dedicated equipment room or closet, wired in accordance with local
electrical codes
• Large enough to allow easy access for service and maintenance
• Free of dust, smoke, and electrostatic discharge
• Properly ventilated
• Well lighted
Note: The recommended aisle spacing is 29.5 in. (750 mm).
296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01 1-7

Ceiling Requirements
Consider the following ceiling requirements before you install the rack:
• The ceiling should be clear of obstructions such as beams, heating and air
conditioning ducts, water pipes, and lights.
• The ceiling should not have sprinklers; however, appropriate fire protection
devices should be available.
Size and Weight Considerations

Before you install the rack at your site, make sure that the equipment room can
accomodate the size and weight of the rack and the CVX 1800.
To determine the total weight, add the weight of all of the CVX 1800 chassis
(about 100 lb, 45.36 kg each), and the weight of the rack.
Reference
For information about general equipment requirements, see the Telcordia Network
Equipment Building System (NEBS) Requirements: Physical Protection (GR-63).
Nortel Networks PTE 2000 Rack

Nortel Networks offers two types of PTE 2000 racks:
• PTE 2000 NEBS-compliant rack (NTRU0134)
• PTE 2000 ETSI-compliant rack (NTRU0234)
Reference
For PTE 2000 rack installation instructions, see the PTE 2000 Installation Guide
(IM 07-08-1543).
1-8 296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01

Anchor Kits
Nortel Networks offers four types of PTE 2000 anchor kits; each kit contains two
anchors. If you do not plan to order anchor kits from Nortel Networks, you can
use other anchor kits that provide the same level of seismic protection.
Note: You must use six floor anchors to secure the PTE 2000 rack to the
equipment-room floor.
The following table describes each of the anchor kits.

ETSI-compliant rack NTRU0234 23.6 (600) 23.6 (600) 86.6 (2200)
Flooring Requirements
You must anchor the PTE 2000 rack to the equipment-room floor. The flooring
can be one of the following types:
• Raised floor tiles, ideally with a clearance of 18 in. (45.5 cm), and a subfloor
cable management system
• Bare concrete floor
Depths for Drilling
If you plan to install the PTE 2000 floor anchors on a bare concrete floor, you
must drill to the following depths:
• 2 in. (51 mm) for the 3/8 in. anchor (for zone 2 earthquake compliance,
NTRU0323/NTRU0326)
• 4 in. (103 mm) for the M12 anchor (for zone 4 earthquake compliance,
NTRU0324/NTRU0328)
Warning: Before you begin to drill, make sure you are familiar with the
building construction. If you plan to drill holes in a below-ground
structure, make sure that you do not drill through the concrete into the
vapor barrier. If you do, groundwater may seep through the anchor hole.
1-10 296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01

Access Considerations
The doorways, corridors, and elevators leading to the installation site must be able
to accommodate the rack. Consider the following when planning the arrival and
unloading of the PTE 2000 rack:
• Including the pallet on which the PTE 2000 rack is shipped, the height of the
rack is 91.66 in. (2,325 mm). The pallet width is 39.4 in. (1,000 mm).
• The weight of an empty PTE 2000 rack is approximately 125 lb (57 kg),
excluding the shipping crate.
• Use freight elevators (if available) to move the equipment to upper floors.
Rack Cooling Requirements

You can install up to four CVX 1800 switches in a standard Telco or EIA rack
without front or rear doors or side panels. Nortel Networks recommends using a
PTE 2000 rack.
To ensure proper cooling for the CVX 1800, the rack must meet the following
requirements:
• The operating environment must provide airflow at 200 CFM per CVX 1800
chassis at a temperature range of 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C).
• The optimal ambient temperature for reliable long-term CVX 1800 operation
is 68° to 77°F (20° to 25°C).

296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01 1-15

Installing the CVX 1800 Chassis
Mounting Options
You can install the CVX 1800 chassis in one of two ways:
• Position the chassis on a flat, sturdy, horizontal surface.
• Mount the chassis in a rack.
Positioning the Chassis on a Flat Surface

When positioning the chassis on a flat, sturdy surface, ensure that the surface is:
• Large enough for the chassis to operate properly
• Strong enough to support the combined weight of the chassis and the cables
Mounting the Chassis in a Rack

Before installing the chassis in a rack, you must decide if you want to flush-mount
or mid-mount the chassis. The mounting flanges are either preinstalled on the
chassis in the mid-mount position, or are included in the accessory kit. If you need
to reposition the preinstalled mounting flanges, read the next section.
Caution: Before you install the CVX 1800 chassis in a rack, ensure that
the rack is sturdy and well secured. A fully configured CVX 1800 chassis
weighs about 100 lb, which could make an unsecured rack top-heavy or
unstable.
Note: For NEBS 2000 compliance, you must install the CVX 1800
chassis in the mid-mount position.
1-16 296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01

Installing the External AC Power Supply
Overview
The optional external AC power supply contains up to three independent 1500 W
power modules. Each 1500 W power module can power one CVX 1800. You can
configure the external AC power supply as a fully redundant, load-sharing power
system. If the primary power module fails and there is a secondary power module
in the unit, the secondary power module provides power to the CVX 1800.
Determining Power Distribution

For 1:1 nonredundant power distribution, connect two CVX 1800s to the external
AC power supply using two 1500 W power modules. For N+1 redundancy,
connect two CVX 1800s to the external AC power supply using three 1500 W
power modules.
Note: A CVX 1800 must have two or more 1500 W power modules to
support power redundancy and load sharing.
1-24 296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01

Mounting Options
You can install the external AC power supply in any Telco or EIA 19-inch rack.
You can mount the power supply so that it is flush with the top or bottom of the
CVX 1800. Flush-mounting the power supply with the CVX 1800 chassis does
not obstruct airflow.

Rack Requirements
The rack must meet the following requirements:
• Heavy-duty steel construction
• EIA standard hole spacing, or a Telco rack with 25 mm spacing
• Width of 19 in. (48.26 cm) or 23 in. (58.42 cm), depth of 24 in. (60.96 cm)
Nortel Networks Rack Recommendation

Nortel Networks recommends using a Physical Telecommunications Environment
(PTE) 2000 rack.
Caution: Nortel Networks does not authorize the use of racks with front
or rear doors or side panels. The operating environment must provide
airflow at 200 cubic feet per minute (CFM) per CVX 1800 chassis at a
temperature range of 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). The optimal ambient
temperature for reliable CVX 1800 operation is 68° to 77°F (20° to
25°C).
Rack Placement
The rack you plan to install should be in an area that is:
• A dedicated equipment room or closet, wired in accordance with local
electrical codes
• Large enough to allow easy access for service and maintenance
• Free of dust, smoke, and electrostatic discharge
• Properly ventilated
• Well lighted
Note: The recommended aisle spacing is 29.5 in. (750 mm).
296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01 2-7

Ceiling Requirements
Consider the following ceiling requirements before you install the rack:
• The ceiling should be clear of obstructions such as beams, heating and air
conditioning ducts, water pipes, and lights.
• The ceiling should not have sprinklers; however, appropriate fire protection
devices should be available.
Size and Weight Considerations

Before you install the rack at your site, make sure that the equipment room can
accomodate the size and weight of the rack and the CVX 1800.
To determine the total weight, add the weight of all of the CVX 1800 chassis
(about 100 lb, 45.36 kg each), and the weight of the rack.
Reference
For information about general equipment requirements, see the Telcordia Network
Equipment Building System (NEBS) Requirements: Physical Protection (GR-63).
Nortel Networks PTE 2000 Rack

Nortel Networks offers two types of PTE 2000 racks:
• PTE 2000 NEBS-compliant rack (NTRU0134)
• PTE 2000 ETSI-compliant rack (NTRU0234)
Reference
For PTE 2000 rack installation instructions, see the PTE 2000 Installation Guide
(IM 07-08-1543).
2-8 296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01

Anchor Kits
Nortel Networks offers four types of PTE 2000 anchor kits; each kit contains two
anchors. If you do not plan to order anchor kits from Nortel Networks, you can
use other anchor kits that provide the same level of seismic protection.

Flooring Requirements
You must anchor the PTE 2000 rack to the equipment-room floor. The flooring
can be one of the following types:
• Raised floor tiles, ideally with a clearance of 18 in. (45.5 cm), and a subfloor
cable management system
• Bare concrete floor
Depths for Drilling
If you plan to install the PTE 2000 floor anchors on a bare concrete floor, you
must drill to the following depths:
• 2 in. (51 mm) for the 3/8 in. anchor (for zone 2 earthquake compliance,
NTRU0323/NTRU0326)
• 4 in. (103 mm) for the M12 anchor (for zone 4 earthquake compliance,
NTRU0324/NTRU0328)
Warning: Before you begin to drill, make sure you are familiar with the
building construction. If you plan to drill holes in a below-ground
structure, make sure that you do not drill through the concrete into the
vapor barrier. If you do, groundwater may seep through the anchor hole.
2-10 296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01

Access Considerations
The doorways, corridors, and elevators leading to the installation site must be able
to accommodate the rack. Consider the following when planning the arrival and
unloading of the PTE 2000 rack:
• Including the pallet on which the PTE 2000 rack is shipped, the height of the
rack is 91.66 in. (2,325 mm). The pallet width is 39.4 in. (1,000 mm).
• The weight of an empty PTE 2000 rack is approximately 125 lb (57 kg),
excluding the shipping crate.
• Use freight elevators (if available) to move the equipment to upper floors.
Rack Cooling Requirements

You can install up to four CVX 1800 switches in a standard Telco or EIA rack
without front or rear doors or side panels. Nortel Networks recommends using a
PTE 2000 rack.
To ensure proper cooling for the CVX 1800, the rack must meet the following
requirements:
• The operating environment must provide airflow at 200 CFM per CVX 1800
chassis at a temperature range of 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C).
• The optimal ambient temperature for reliable long-term CVX 1800 operation
is 68° to 77°F (20° to 25°C).

Service Console
You can connect a service console or a PC to the CVX 1800 to monitor startup
diagnostics and to perform manual startup and configuration. See Chapter 3,
“Chassis Connections,” for information on installing a service console. See the
following software manuals for information on configuring the CVX access
switches:
• CVX Multi-Service Access Switch Startup Guide
• CVX Multi-Service Access Switch Configuration Guide
Note: Before you turn on the CVX 1800, you should connect a local
terminal or PC to the CVX 1800 console port. This console will display
diagnostic information if there is a startup problem, in which case, you
need to contact Nortel Networks Technical Support (see “Customer
Services” on page xxiv).
Mounting Hardware
To install the CVX 1800 chassis in a rack, you need a Phillips #2 screwdriver and
a computer rack that meets the specifications listed in “Rack Requirements” on
page 2-7.
If the rack does not have threaded rail holes, you must use cagenuts and cagenut
screws (not supplied).
296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01 2-15

Mounting Options
You can mount the CVX 1800 chassis in one of two ways:
• Position the chassis on a flat, sturdy, horizontal surface.
• Mount the chassis in a rack.
Positioning the Chassis on a Flat Surface

When positioning the chassis on a flat, sturdy surface, ensure that the surface is:
• Large enough for the chassis to operate properly
• Strong enough to support the combined weight of the chassis and the cables
Positioning the Chassis in a Rack

Before installing the chassis in a rack, you must decide if you want to flush-mount
or mid-mount the chassis. The mounting flanges are either preinstalled on the
chassis in the mid-mount position, or are included in the accessory kit. If you need
to reposition the preinstalled mounting flanges, read the next section.
Caution: Before you install the CVX 1800 chassis in a rack, ensure that
the rack is sturdy and well secured. A fully configured CVX 1800 chassis
weighs about 100 lb, which could make an unsecured rack top-heavy or
unstable.
Note: For NEBS 2000 compliance, you must install the CVX 1800
chassis in the mid-mount position.

Overview
The optional external AC power supply contains up to three independent 1500 W
power modules. Each 1500 W power module can power one CVX 1800. You can
configure the external AC power supply as a fully redundant, load-sharing power
system. If the primary power module fails and there is a secondary power module
in the unit, the secondary power module provides power to the CVX 1800.
Determining Power Distribution

For 1:1 nonredundant power distribution, connect two CVX 1800s to the external
AC power supply using two 1500 W power modules. For N+1 redundancy,
connect two CVX 1800s to the external AC power supply using three 1500 W
power modules.
Note: A CVX 1800 must have two or more 1500 W power modules to
support power redundancy and load sharing.
2-24 296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01

Mounting Options
You can install the external AC power supply in any Telco or EIA 19-inch rack.
You can mount the power supply so that it is flush with the top or bottom of the
CVX 1800. Flush-mounting the power supply with the CVX 1800 chassis does
not obstruct airflow.
CVX-0048A
Procedure
To install the external AC power supply, follow these steps:

Connecting Alarms
Introduction
The SCC-LTM and SCC-RLTMs contain a terminal block that allows you to
connect up to three audible alarms and three visual alarms. These alarms alert you
to critical, major, and minor conditions. The top six screw terminals on the
terminal block are available for audible alarms, such as bells; the bottom six screw
terminals are available for visual alarms, such as lights.
Warning: The contacts on the terminal block are rated at 30 VAC and
have a maximum current rating of 1 ampere (A). The circuit connecting
the alarms must meet the requirements for safety extra-low voltage
(SELV). The wires connecting the alarms must be the appropriate gauge
for alarm devices.
During normal, uninterrupted operation, the contacts remain open. If a failure

occurs, the contacts close and trigger the connected alarm.
Alarm Categories
The following table lists the three general categories of alarms and the possible
causes.
Alarm Possible Cause
Critical (Crit) Hardware failures, such as when the system power supply or fan
module have failed.
Major (Maj) Communication failures: link or network connection has failed.
Minor (Min) Modem failures: configured thresholds have been exceeded.

Warning: These devices contain Class 1 laser products and comply with
21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 EN 60825-1 - Safety of Laser Products.
Class 1 lasers are considered eye-safe; however, follow these

appropriate safety measures:
• Always make sure that the CVX switch is powered down before
connecting or disconnecting any optical cables.
• Always make sure all ports or unconnected optical cable ends are
covered before powering up the CVX switch.
• Never remove a cover from a port or attached optical cable while the
CVX switch has power.
Caution: For proper operation, observe the following:

• Never touch the end of the fiber in a connector with anything except
an approved cleaner.
• Always clean the end of the fiber in connectors and optical ports
before connecting the cables. Use an approved cleaner, or a soft cloth
with isopropyl alcohol.
• Never use any optical cable that has been damaged, or that has been
coiled tighter than a 35-mm radius curve.

Chassis Connections
Requirements
Before you connect the CVX 1800 to power and ground at the installation site:
• Refer to your company or site specifications for information on the torque
requirements for securing power and ground cables.
• Read “DC Power Supply Warnings” on page vii.
Caution: When you plug in the DC power cable, the CVX 1800 access
switch turns on. Since the CVX 1800 chassis does not have a power
switch, you should only apply DC power when you are ready to bring the
CVX 1800 online. Before connecting power cables to the CVX 1800, use
a volt/ohm meter to ensure that the power cables are not live.
296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01 3-19

Grounding the Chassis

Before connecting the CVX 1800 to either an external AC power supply or a
customer-supplied DC power source, you must attach the ground cable (4 AWG to
8 AWG) to a suitable electrical ground at your facility. Grounding the frame is
required for either powering option, and is the same for both options.
Grounding Options
There are two ways to ground the CVX 1800 chassis:

• Use the NEBS-compliant dual-connector posts.
• Use the compression terminal (not NEBS-compliant).

Routing the Cables
Routing Fiber Optic Cables
Introduction
The routing of fiber optic cables requires different considerations than the routing
of wire cables, due to the delicate material of the transmission line.
Minimum Radius
The following table gives the minimum bend radius for several types of fiber optic
cable:
Minimum Bend Radius Minimum Bend

Cable/Fiber Type Number of Fibers
(normal handling) Radius (static load)
Simplex 1 35 mm 50 mm
Duplex 2 70 mm 140 mm
Quad 4 85 mm 160 mm
Note: The minimum radius must be maintained at all times, including

while routing the cable and managing slack cable.
Rack Standoff Brackets
To ensure that the fiber optic cable is properly secured to the chassis, a
rack-mounted bracket may be used to support the fiber optic cable. Nortel does
not supply a bracket for this purpose.
Securing and Wrapping Fiber Optic Cables
Fiber optic cables can be secured with tie wraps, if not applied too tightly. Your
application may also require the fiber to be wrapped in a protective paper. Tie
wraps must be fitted in accordance with Nortel Work Standards WS-001 and
WS-4024.

Installing and Removing the Flash Memory Cards
Description
The SCC-SM contains dual PCMCIA slots for the flash memory card. The flash
memory card provides storage for the CVX 1800 nonvolatile file system (NVFS),
operating system software, and configuration files. When you insert the flash
memory card, the NVFS automatically provides access to the flash memory card.
The dual PCMCIA slots are labeled 1 and 2. Slot 1 is the C: drive and slot 2 is the
D: drive. Always use slot 1 for the flash memory card. Use slot 2 if you need to
copy the flash memory card in slot 1 to a flash memory card in slot 2.
Note: If the flash memory card is not already in the SCC, insert it into
slot 1.
Warning: You must use software Release 5.0 or later when using an
Optical SCC-II-SM. Use of older versions will corrupt the SCC-SM,
requiring the return of the module to Nortel for reprogramming. Do not
copy earlier versions of software to a flash memory card used in an
Optical SCC-II-SM.
Reference
See the manual CVX Multi-Service Access Switch Configuration Guide for
information about copying a flash memory card.

Connecting a Terminal Server

A terminal server provides remote access to multiple CVX switches through serial
ports connected to the console port of the SCC-RLTMs. A terminal server also
allows the addressing of both SCCs when a CVX switch is using two Optical
SCC-II-LTMs, each with its own console port.

addressed.
Recommendations
Terminal server use is also recommended in the following cases:

• Where the CVX chassis is in a remote location
• When Ethernet access is restricted
• To provide a backup method for access when Ethernet or Telnet access is
disrupted

Connecting Equipment to a Local Ethernet Port
Connecting Equipment to a Local Ethernet Port
Description
The 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet port on the SCC-LTM or SCC-RLTM allows you to
connect a remote PC or similar device to the CVX 1800 using an Ethernet hub.
Connecting to a remote PC allows you to edit a CVX 1800 configuration using
Telnet. You can also use the Ethernet port to connect to a remote Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) server for SNMP-based management.
Note: The 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet port is an autosensing port that adjusts
automatically for 10 or 100 Mb/s transmission. This means that the port
selects the correct operating speed based on the data packets it receives
from the remote PC.
Connecting a Remote Device Using an Ethernet Port

The following figure shows a remote PC connected to the Ethernet port.

Attaching the Antistatic Wrist Strap
Location of Wrist Strap

The antistatic wrist strap is located in the CVX 1800 accessory kit.
Purpose of Wrist Strap

The antistatic wrist strap directs the discharge of static electricity from your body
to the chassis, thereby protecting sensitive electronic components.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage hardware. Follow the procedure

in this section to prevent damage to your equipment.
How to Attach the Wrist Strap

Follow these steps:
Step Action
1 Remove the strap and cable from the accessory kit.

2 Attach the snap end of the cable to the wrist strap.
4-2 296-1011-906 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01

Step Action
3 Place the strap around your wrist, then adjust it to ensure that the metal
buckle inside the strap touches your skin.
4 Plug the jack at the other end of the cable into the front or rear of the chassis,
depending on which side of the chassis you are working.

Replacing the SCC-SM

In a redundant configuration, when you remove the primary SCC-SM, the
secondary SCC-SM automatically copies the system software and configuration
files from its flash memory card. Before removing the primary SCC-SM, ensure
that the secondary SCC-SM flash memory cards are in the PCMCIA slots.
If you have only one SCC-SM (a non-redundant configuration), you will need to
shut down the CVX switch to replace the SCC-SM.
Warning: You must use software Release 5.0 or later when using an
Optical SCC-II-SM. Use of older versions will corrupt the SCC-SM,
requiring the return of the module to Nortel for reprogramming. Do not
copy earlier versions of software to a flash memory card used in an
Optical SCC-II-SM.
Warning: When you remove the primary SCC-SM, a system reset

occurs. This disconnects all calls that are in progress and temporarily
suspends system services until the secondary SCC-SM goes online.
Reference
See the manual CVX 1800 Multi-Service Access Switch Configuration Guide for
information about editing and managing configuration files.

Removing the SCC-SM
To remove the SCC-SM, follow these steps:
Step Action
1 Remove the flash memory card from the PCMCIA slot by pressing the eject
button next to the slot.
2 Using a flat-tip screwdriver, turn the screw at the top of the SCC-SM 1/4 turn

Replacing the SCC-LTM/RLTM

If you need to replace the SCC-LTM or SCC-RLTM, note the configuration of the
installed network cabling before you disconnect any cables. This includes cabling
to the following ports:
• Local 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet ports
• Console port
• Alarm port
• T1 ports or E1 ports
• Optical ports
You will need to reinstall this cabling on the replacement SCC-LTM/RLTM.
Caution: Before removing the SCC-LTM or SCC-RLTM, you must first

remove the corresponding SCC-SMs. The LTMs and RLTMs are not
hot-swappable (that is, you cannot change them while the system is running).
Removing the SCC-LTM/RLTM
To remove the SCC-LTM/RLTM, follow these steps:
Step Action
1 Disconnect any cables attached to the SCC-LTM or SCC-RLTM.
Note: If you are using the alarm connections, you can leave the alarm wiring
in place by removing the alarm connector block from the SCC-LTM or
SCC-RLTM. Use a flat-tip screwdriver to remove the alarm connector block.
2 If you have not already done so, remove the corresponding SCC-SMs.

5 Reattach any network cabling and alarm wiring from the SCC-LTM/RLTM you
just removed.
6 Reinstall the SCC-SMs that were removed earlier.
7 Observe the LEDs on the SCC-LTM/RLTM to verify proper operation.
296-1011-906 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01 4-27

Reference
For information about the SCC-LTM and SCC-RLTM LEDs, see “Checking the
LEDs” on page 3-52.
Replacing Other Service Modules

The MACs and DAC-SMs provide the processing capabilities for the
rear-installed LTMs. When you remove an online service module, the CVX 1800
redirects processing to an adjacent secondary module that uses the same LTM.
These service modules can physically occupy chassis slots 1 to 8 and 11 to 18.
Replacement Procedure
The procedure for replacing these service modules is the same as the procedure
for replacing the SCC-SM.
Reference
See the CVX Multi-Service Access Switch Product Description for information on
where to position the modules.
Caution: Do not install E1-DAC and DS1-DAC cards in the same chassis.
Because the CVX switch synchronizes to one external clock, a CVX switch
that contains both E1-DAC and DS1-DAC cards will not function properly,
and is not supported.

Removing a MAC or DAC-SM
To replace a MAC or DAC-SM, follow these steps:

Cooling Requirements
Need for Ventilation

The CVX 1800 is a high performance access switch, that produces a significant
amount of heat. Providing sufficient cooling ventilation is very important when
installing the equipment.
Methods of Cooling
The two typical ways of cooling the equipment are:
• General cooling — cool air is supplied by air conditioning the entire
equipment room. Open racks are recommended for general cooling.
• Dedicated cooling — cool air is directly fed to a closed cabinet containing the
CVX 1800 equipment. If using this method, arrange the cabling so as to
minimize its effect on air flow inside the cabinet. Using a fan to move air
through the cabinet is recommended, especially if several CVX 1800 switches
are installed in one cabinet. All cabinet doors should be closed, and all cabinet
panels in place.
Airflow
Regardless of the method of cooling used, make sure that minium clearance
requirements are met and that airflow at the CVX 1800 is at least 200 CFM.
296-1011-200 Rel. 5.0, Doc. Rev. 08.01 A-5

Need for Ventilation

The CVX 1800 is a high performance access switch, that produces a significant
amount of heat. Providing sufficient cooling ventilation is very important when
installing the equipment.
Methods of Cooling
The two typical ways of cooling the equipment are:
• General cooling — Cool air is supplied by air conditioning the entire
equipment room. Open racks are recommended for general cooling.
• Dedicated cooling — Cool air is directly fed to a closed cabinet containing the
CVX 1800 equipment. If using this method, arrange the cabling so as to
minimize its effect on air flow inside the cabinet. Using a fan to move air
through the cabinet is recommended, especially if several CVX 1800 switches
are installed in one cabinet. All cabinet doors should be closed, and all cabinet
panels in place.
Airflow
Regardless of the method of cooling used, make sure that minium clearance
requirements are met and that airflow at the CVX 1800 is at least 200 CFM.

Opening and Closing the Chassis Door
Description
The metal fascia CVX 1800 has a hinged door to ensure proper airflow and
cooling within the chassis. A closed door provides protection from
electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), and
keeps the service modules securely in position.
Air Filter
The inside of the door has a replaceable air filter to keep dust from entering the
chassis as the fans draw air.
Normal Door Position

Under normal operating conditions, the door must remain closed; open the door
only if you need to perform maintenance. The door has a clear panel so that you
can view most of the LEDs on the service modules.
