Phy Modules
The BIO2 module includes all features of the BIO1 module, and the following
enhancements:
• Increased call handling performance.
• Explicit forward congestion indication (EFCI) marking on the cell header, which,
when set, enables congestion control on a per-virtual circuit (VC) basis.
• Traffic management features.
A BIO module can be placed within slots 3 through 12 and must be installed before
the phy modules connected to a BIO module in a particular slot (at the rear of the
switch) can be active. See Chapter 7, “Removing and Installing Components,” for
more information about the phy modules that can be connected to a BIO2 module.
The BIO module interfaces to the switch fabric (SF) module via a connector to the
backplane. The BIO interfaces its four cell-processing threads to four ports of the SF.
The BIO module interfaces to a variety of phy modules via a connector on the
backplane. Table 1-1 describes the interfaces for a BIO module.
Table 1-1. BIO/Phy Module Interfaces
There can be one or two SF modules in a GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch chassis.
The SF can operate correctly with one or two SFs, one or two NPs, one or two timing
modules, and 0 to 10 BIOs (BIO1s or BIO2s) installed. There is no SF adapter module
in the GX 550.
The SF modules are located in the front of the chassis in the third and fourth slots from
the top (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-4). The second SF module is a redundant SF unit. If
the active SF module fails, the redundant SF module becomes the active SF without
disrupting working services.
There can be one or two NP modules in a GX 550 chassis. The NP modules are
located in the two top slots of the front chassis and are oriented horizontally
(see Figure 1-1 on page 1-4).
The second NP module serves as a redundant unit. If the active NP module fails, the
redundant NP module becomes the active NP without disrupting working services.
The Cell Thread Interface connects both NPs to a single port of the SF (Port #40).
This fabric port is not shared with an I/O module. Each NP is connected to both SF1
and SF2 for redundancy.
The GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch chassis has 39 slots for phy modules at the rear
of the chassis (see Figure 1-2 on page 1-5). Slots 3A through 12C can each hold an
OC-3c/STM-1 or an OC-12c/STM-4 module. An OC-48/STM-16 module occupies
four slots (for example, slots 3A – 3D).
The phy modules support Automatic Protection Switching (APS). The K1/K2 bytes of
the SONET/SDH framing overhead are monitored and accessed by the software to
provide an automated switching mechanism for rerouting traffic from a failed link to a
protection facility. The protection, 1+1 Protected Linear Network, is described in
Bellcore GR-253-CORE. The redundancy mechanism between the active and
protection ports is provided through software, across phy modules. See the B-STDX,
CBX, and GX Switch Module Configuration Guide for more details regarding the APS
features that each GX 550 module supports.
Note – Read the applicable GX 550 switch software release notice (SRN) to
determine whether the GX 550 ES is supported in your current release.
The GX 550 ES downlink phy module is a physical layer card that interfaces to the
BIO module. The downlink phy module extends the physical layer function of the
GX 550 phy interface to the GX 550 ES via a standard multimode fiber cable,
controlling cell flow, timing, and fault monitoring for the GX 550 ES.
The downlink phy module supports ATM traffic on a single thread of 622 Mbps per
user, over a 1.0368 GB interface.
You can connect up to four downlink phy modules to each BIO (BIO1 or BIO2)
module in a GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch. Each downlink phy module must be
installed with a supporting BIO module in the corresponding slot at the front of the
GX 550.
The GX 550 ES downlink phy module interfaces via a standard multimode fiber cable
to the uplink phy module (installed at the rear of GX 550 ES).
For more information about the GX 550 ES, see the GX 550 ES Hardware Installation
Guide.
There is one NPA module in a GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch chassis. The NPA
module is located in the rear of the chassis, third slot from the top, and is oriented
horizontally (see Figure 1-2 on page 1-5).
Timing Module
The timing module contains the centralized phy timing sources for the system, and
distributes a timing (master) clock to the physical ports on the backplane. The
BIO/phy modules derive physical timing appropriate for the transmission interface
from the timing clock. In addition, the timing module provides timing to synchronize
data across the backplane.
The timing module also provides 24V power to the chassis fans.
Caution – If the switch is powered up without a timing module installed, the cooling
! fans will not operate and the equipment can be damaged from overheating. Do not
power up the switch unless a timing module is installed.
Caution – When latching down the timing module, you will lose timing even though
! the fans are still operating.
There can be up to two timing modules in the chassis. The timing module is located in
the rear of the chassis in the first and second slots from the top (see Figure 1-2 on
page 1-5).
The second timing module serves as a redundant unit. If the active timing module
fails, the redundant timing module becomes the active timing module without
disrupting working services.

Specifications and Safety Warnings
This chapter describes the following specifications and safety warnings for the
GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch:
• Electronic/Electrical Requirements
• Physical Specifications
• Site Specifications
• DC Power Supply Warnings
• Safety Warnings
Electronic/Electrical Requirements
The following sections describe the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch’s electronic
and electrical requirements:
Power Specifications
The GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch requires -48 or -60 VDC power, as specified
in Table 2-1 on page 2-2. If you have an AC power source, use a rectifier to convert
AC-to-DC power (see “AC-to-DC Rectifier Unit” on page 2-3).
Application Specification
Note – The maximum power dissipation is 3,000 watts. The actual power dissipation
varies, depending on the configuration of your switch, so the switch may draw less
current than the values listed in Table 2-1.
Wiring Size
The actual input voltage for a GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch can range from
-40 to -72 VDC, with a maximum input current of 75 amps. You must ensure that the
wire size is adequate for the current rating, and that the voltage drop anticipated in the
installation complies with locally applicable codes.
If you are using an AC power source, you do not need to use a DCPPU because the
rectifier has built-in transient protection (see “AC-to-DC Rectifier Unit” on page 2-3).
Contact your Lucent Account Manager for the name of an approved AC-to-DC
rectifier. See the section, “AC-to-DC Rectifier Unit” in Appendix A, for a description
of the AC-to-DC rectifier that you can purchase from Lucent.
The DCPPU (see Figure 2-1) provides the GX 550 with protection from transients,
and additional “ride-through” time when the switch is connected to a DC power
source. A transient event occurs when equipment connected to the same two DC
power feeds has a line-to-return short circuit, and has diode-isolation between the A
and B power feeds. This will short both A and B feeds simultaneously, causing a short
drop in both 48V feeds, which is often followed by an over-voltage transient. This
transient can cause the switch to reboot, resulting in several minutes of downtime.
The primary application for the DCPPU is in central office installations with
multi-vendor settings, where additional protection from fuse-clearing transient events
may be needed.

DCPPU Features
The DCPPU unit consists of two power modules, cabling for feed A and feed B, and
an external power alarm connector status cable (see Figure 2-3 on page 2-9).
The DCPPU has the following features:
• Return-lead diode isolation between 48V return A and 48V return B to prevent
circulating currents otherwise caused by unbalanced loading or wiring between
A and B feeds
• Isolation from fuse-clearing transient events and other transients that may occur
externally to the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch
• Energy storage, up to five-millisecond ride-through time from 48V input dropout
(also referred to as a zero-voltage transient)
• Input line fuse to supplement the branch circuit breaker for line-to-line faults in
either the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch or the DCPPU
• Compliance with AT&T spec 802-010-100
• Convection cooling
• Operational status reports that are sent to NMS
• 19- or 23-inch rack mount capability
• Maintenance On/Off toggle button for each set of power connectors (A and B) —
this button is recessed, labeled as 1/0, and is located to the right of the FLT (fault)
LED (see Figure 2-2 on page 2-6)
Figure 2-2 illustrates the DCPPU front panel area below the handle, near the bottom of
the unit.

Refer to the following sections for more information about the DCPPU front panel
features:
• See Table 2-2, “DCPPU LEDs,” on page 2-10 for descriptions of the ON and FLT
(fault) LEDs.
• See “Applying Power to the DCPPU” on page 2-10 for a description of the On/Off
toggle button.
• See “Test Points” on page 2-10 for a description of the A and K test points.
The rotary latch knob enables you to remove or insert a DCPPU unit. To remove the
unit, rotate the knob counterclockwise and then pull the DCPPU unit’s handle (shown
in Figure 2-1 on page 2-4). To verify that the unit is securely engaged, rotate the knob
clockwise and then pull the handle.
DCPPU Cabling
The input voltage for a DCPPU can range from -40 to -72 VDC, with a maximum
input current of 75 amperes. Select the appropriate cable thickness depending on the
distance between the connection points and the system configuration.
Note – Lucent recommends a two-hole lug (for example, a Panduit LDC4-14D) for
all grounding, return, and power stud connections.
Refer to Figure 2-3 on page 2-9 while performing the following steps:
1. Verify that the correct power source is available (see the section, “Power
Specifications” on page 2-1).
2. Verify that the power is off or disconnected at the source.
3. With a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the protective cover over the power
terminals.
4. If necessary, terminate the power, return, and grounding wires in suitable listed
two-hole lugs (for example, Panduit LCD4-14D), using the tool recommended by
the manufacturer.
5. Using a 7/16-inch wrench or socket, remove the nut and washers from each of the
studs that you are going to connect to, including the chassis ground studs.
6. Install the lug from the grounding wire to the DCPPU chassis ground studs.
Lucent recommends that, to provide a single-point ground connection, only one of
the chassis grounds should be connected to earth ground. See the section,
“Connecting Power Cables to the Switch” in Chapter 5 for more information.
7. Install the -48 VDC source cables to the appropriate DCPPU input studs
(-48V INPUT and INPUT RETURN). There are two inputs: Feed A and Feed B.
Both feeds should be connected through separate sources to provide 1+1 input
redundancy.
8. Connect the output cables as follows:
a. Install the -48 VDC output cables to the appropriate DCPPU output studs

For information about the hardware requirements and appropriate configuration for
your NMS workstation, and instructions for installing the OS and network
management software, see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Network Management Station
Installation Guide. After you have installed the OS and network management
software on the NMS, you can connect the switch to the NMS by using one of the
methods listed in the next section.
Direct Ethernet — Connects the switch and NMS when they are on the same LAN.
This method provides the greatest speed and ease-of-use. See “Using Direct Ethernet”
on page 4-18.
Indirect Ethernet — Connects the switch and the NMS when they are on separate
LANs. This option requires a router. See “Using Indirect Ethernet” on page 4-19.
Management VC (VPI/VCI) — Connects the NMS and the switch through a single
router or via an ATM network interface card (NIC). This connection is recommended
when you use an attached NMS or an IP host to transfer information between the host
and a local switch. See “Using Management VC/PVC” on page 4-20.
Management PVC — Connects the NMS or IP host to the switch via an ATM router
or a NIC. You can use this type of connection for all applications that use a switch
(particularly a remote switch) and an attached NMS or IP host. The Management PVC
connection is an actual PVC between the UNI port (connected to the NMS or IP host)
and the remote switch. Management PVC connections prevent overhead management
traffic from burdening the switch. See “Using Management VC/PVC” on page 4-20.

Powering Up the GX 550
This chapter describes the following topics:
• Determining the Power Connection Methods
• Obtaining Required Tools and Materials
• Connecting Power Cables to the Switch
• Applying Power to the Switch
Powering Up Overview
Powering up the switch includes the following tasks:
1. Determining the power connection method to use (see below)
2. Obtaining the necessary materials and tools (see page 5-3)
3. Connecting power cables to the switch (see page 5-4)
4. Applying power to the switch (see page 5-7)
Type Description
DC Input Power Protection Unit If you have a DC power source and want to provide
(DCPPU) additional protection from transients, you can connect
the switch to a DCPPU, i.e., connecting to both sets
of power connectors on the switch. See section “DC
Input Power Protection Unit (DCPPU)” in Chapter 2,
and Appendix A, “Module Specifications” for more
information.
Note – The wire gauge that you use depends on the distance from the connection
point and also on the system configuration. The maximum power rating of the GX 550
Multiservice WAN switch is 3,000 watts. The actual input voltage can range from -40
to -72 VDC, so the maximum input current is 75 amperes.
• Suitable listed two-hole lugs (e.g., a Panduit LCD4-14D-L) for the grounding,
return, and power studs
• Tool recommended by the lug manufacturer for connecting a two-hole lug to the
power cord
• External Power Alarm cable for the Node Processor Adapter (if you are using an
AC-to-DC rectifier or a DCPPU)
• #2 Phillips-head screwdriver
• 3/8-in. wrench or socket
Warning – Follow the “DC Power Supply Warnings” and “Safety Warnings” in
Chapter 2.
1. Verify that the correct power source is available (see the section,
“Power Specifications” in Chapter 2).
Warning – Verify that the power is off or disconnected at the source before continuing
with this procedure.
2. Using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the four screws that secure the
protective cover over the power connectors, and remove the protective cover
(see Figure 5-1). If you are connecting to only one set of power connectors, you
can use either the A or B power connectors (for example, when connecting the
switch to an AC-to-DC rectifier).

Caution – If the switch is powered up and does not contain a Timing module, the
! cooling fans will not operate and the equipment can be damaged from overheating. Do
not power up the switch unless a Timing module is installed.
The GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch has no power switch. Apply power to the
switch in one of the following ways:
• If you are using an AC-to-DC rectifier, toggle its power switch to the ON position.
• If you are using a DC Power Protection Unit (DCPPU), toggle its power switch to
the ON position.
• If you are connecting the switch directly to a DC power source, set the power
source to the ON position.
What’s Next?
After the hardware installation is complete and the switch is powered up, check the
LEDs to determine the operating status of the switch and of the individual modules as
described in Chapter 6, “Determining the Operating Status.”

Determining the Operating Status
This chapter describes how to determine the operating status of the GX 550
Multiservice WAN switch and its individual modules by observing the LEDs on each
module. (The node processor adapter has no LEDs.) This chapter includes the
following topics:
• Viewing LEDs
• Module LED Locations
• Switch Status LEDs
• Module Status LED Descriptions
• Port Alarm LEDs
• Redundancy Status LEDs (StnBy)
• Fan Tray LEDs
Viewing LEDs
The condition of each status LED on the switch can be viewed in two ways:
• By viewing the actual LED on the switch.
• By viewing the LED condition through NavisCore on the Network Management
Station (NMS). See the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Switch Diagnostics User’s Guide.
The LEDs on the new node processor, NP2, are identically located. See for more
information about the NP2.

Port Numbering
The port alarm LED numbers on a BIO module refer to the port numbers for the phy
module in the corresponding four-slot group at the rear of the GX 550 Multiservice
WAN switch. For example, the port alarm LED numbers for the BIO module (BIO1 or
BIO2) in slot 3 refer to the phy module ports in slots 3A – 3D.
Figure 6-13 shows the port numbering for the phy modules in a four-slot group. For
example, the four OC-12c/STM-4 modules have port alarm LEDs at the locations 1, 5,
9, and 13 on the front of the BIO module; for OC-48/STM-16 modules, only port
alarm LED 1 is active.

Removing and Installing
Components
In the following topics, this chapter describes how to remove and install the GX 550
Multiservice WAN switch components:
• Removal and Installation Precautions
• Node Processor Module
• Switch Fabric Module
• Base Input/Output (BIO) Module
• OC-3c/STM-1, OC-12c/STM-4, and OC-48/STM-16 Phy Modules
• GX 550 ES Downlink Phy Module

Parts Repair
Do not attempt to repair parts or modules yourself. Only Lucent-trained service
representatives are authorized to service parts. Contact the Technical Assistance
Center (see page xxxv in the preface, “About This Guide”) for instructions.
Caution – Repairing parts or modules yourself can damage the equipment. Only
! Lucent-trained service representatives are authorized to service parts.
Static Protection
Warning – Static electricity can damage the equipment. Wear an antistatic wrist strap
when handling any of the switch components.
Before handling any of the switch components, put on the antistatic wrist strap that is
provided in the accessory kit, and connect it to the grounding jack on the front or rear
of the switch (see Figure 3-2 on page 3-6).
Warning – When the switch is powered up, an electrical energy hazard is present
within the card cage. Remove all metallic objects from hands and wrists to prevent
bridging of live contact points.
Note – If you are upgrading an NP1 to an NP2, you must refer to Chapter 9,
“Upgrading the Node Processor” for detailed instructions regarding this procedure.
Note – Although the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch can pass cell traffic with no
NP module installed, this is not the recommended mode of operation. Upon
reinsertion of one or both NPs, the BIOs and SFs will reinitialize, causing the cell
traffic flow to stop. Use the recommended procedures for NP removal and
replacement and no cell loss will be incurred.
Warning – The following procedure may make the device susceptible to electrostatic
charge.

Caution – Do not remove an active NP module from the switch if the switch is
! powered up. Either switch over to a redundant NP or power down the switch, as
described in step 3.
3. Check the StnBy LED status (see Figure 6-1 in Chapter 6) on the NP module that
you want to remove.
• If the StnBy LED is blinking, continue to step 4. (You are removing a standby
NP module.)
• If the StnBy LED is on (you are removing the active NP module, and a
standby NP is installed), have the NMS operator perform a “switch to
redundant card” operation (see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Switch Module
Configuration Guide), and then continue to step 4.
• If the StnBy LED is off (you are removing the active NP and no standby NP is
installed), power down the switch and continue to step 4.

8. Before continuing, wait until the Good LED (see Figure 6-2 in Chapter 6) is either
solid green or flashing slowly. This may take several minutes.
Note – If the NP detects a mismatch of boot code between the NP and the new BIO
module, the NP automatically downloads its current version of the boot code to the
BIO module prior to downloading the application code. The BIO module may reboot
several times before the download process completes.
9. If you are replacing a BIO module, the NMS operator should set the BIO
module’s Administrative Status to Up (see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Switch
Module Configuration Guide).
10. If you install a BIO module in a slot that did not previously have one, the NMS
operator must configure the BIO module (see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Switch
Module Configuration Guide).
Upgrade Steps
To upgrade from a BIO1 module to a BIO2 module, perform the following steps:
1. Verify that you have the correct version of software installed for BIO2 support.
2. Review the information in “Removing a BIO Module” on page 7-12 and
“Installing a BIO Module” on page 7-13.
3. Using NavisXtend Tools, run the BIO1 to BIO2 conversion utility by following
the steps in “Performing a Sybase Upgrade Using NavisXtend Tools” on
page 7-16.
4. Remove the existing BIO1 module, using the instructions in “Removing a BIO
Module” on page 7-12.
5. Insert a BIO2 module into the empty slot, using the instructions in “Installing a
BIO Module” on page 7-13.
6. Wait for the configuration to be copied to the BIO2 module, and verify it by
issuing the show copy command from the switch console.
Note – For more information about this console command, see the B-STDX, CBX,
and GX Console Command Reference.
NavisXtend Tools includes a utility that modifies the Sybase database before you
upgrade from a BIO1 module to a BIO2 module.
Note – This utility works with NavisXtend database version 02.50.02.00 or later. It
automatically checks for the correct version and exits if the version is incorrect.
1. From the HP OpenView window, select Misc NavisXtend Tools. This option
launches a browser. If this is the first time that you are accessing NavisXtend
Tools, the NavisXtend Tools—AutoMake Facility window appears.
2. Choose the Load NavisXtend Tools button. The NavisXtend Tools main menu
appears.
3. Select the conv_BIO1_to_BIO2 utility.
Note – If you are not logged into NavisXtend Tools, a login screen appears. Once you
are logged in, press your browser’s Back button until you return to the conversion
utility screen.
4. Select the switch and the slot ID of the BIO1 card you want to convert. A logon
prompt appears.
5. Enter the user ID and password for your Sybase database.
Note – If no activity occurs for 30 minutes, the connection will time out and the
system will prompt you to re-enter your user ID and password.
Note – For more information about NavisXtend Tools, see the NavisXtend Tools
User’s Guide.
Removing an OC Module
Any circuits running through the phy module are terminated when the module is
removed, which may result in possible data loss. Lucent recommends setting the
Administrative Status of each physical port on the phy module to Down via the NMS
before removing the module from the switch. For instructions, see the B-STDX, CBX,
and GX Switch Module Configuration Guide.

9. Verify that the Good LED on the downlink phy module is on (see Figure 6-11 in
Chapter 6).
10. If you replaced a downlink phy module, the NMS operator should set the
Administrative Status to Up for each physical port on the downlink phy module
(see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Switch Module Configuration Guide).
11. If you installed a downlink phy module in a slot that did not previously have one,
the NMS operator should configure the corresponding BIO module and the
physical ports for the downlink phy module (see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX
Switch Module Configuration Guide).

Note – You can remove the NPA module from the switch even if the switch is
powered up. There is no need to power down the switch before removal.
Removing the NPA module causes network management connectivity with the switch
to be lost, so you should remove and replace the NPA as quickly as possible. If the
switch is being managed over an in-band ATM connection, NMS connectivity will
remain intact. However, other interfaces provided by the NPA, including external
timing and NPA-provided alarms, are lost during the time the NPA is removed.

Node Processor 2 (NP2)
The Node Processor 2 (NP2) is an enhanced version of the original NP (or NP1),
which provides system-level control and management functions for the gateway
switch. The NP2 module is the same size as the NP1 module, and is installed and
removed in the same way.
See Chapter 7, “Removing and Installing Components,” if you need information about
NP removal or installation. See Appendix A, “Module Specifications” for more
information about the NP1.
Enhanced Functionality
The NP2 has all of the functionality of the NP1, and also the following enhancements:
• Redundancy based on keep-alive signals and fault management triggers
(See also the section, “Node Processor Redundancy” in Appendix D.)
• More system memory (768 MB) for system protocol support
• Support for 10/100 BT Ethernet
• Onboard storage of up to one hour of accounting data
• Faster MPK module processor speed (500 MHz; 100 MHz for system memory)
• Hard disk replaced by flash disk (2 GB) for greater reliability
• Higher console port speed (115,200 bps; 19,200 bps for NP1)
• New type of diagnostics port with EIA-232/RS-232 interface
The ITP (In Target Probe) interface is not for customer use. It provides a connection to
an emulator for design and debugging purposes. The emulator vendor provides the
correct code tap, depending on the operating voltage of the modular processing
kernel’s (MPK’s) daughter card. See the section, “MPK Null Modem Converter” in
Appendix B for more information about the MPK.
Since the NP2 has 768 MB of RAM and the NP1 has 128 MB of memory, the NP2 can
build a bigger routing database and can store much more billing information than an
NP1. Therefore, the only valid configuration supported in the field are NP1-NP1 and
NP2-NP2, except during the upgrade process. At all other times with an NP1-NP2
redundant combination, the integrity and proper functionality of the switch is not
assured.
See Chapter 9, “Upgrading the Node Processor” for detailed instructions regarding the
method of procedure for upgrading an NP1 to an NP2.
Forcing an NP Switchover
Using NavisCore from a remote console connected to the GX 550, perform the
following steps to force an NP switchover in which the redundant (standby) NP
becomes the active NP and the active NP becomes the standby NP:
1. Select the appropriate switch object from the NavisCore network map.
2. If you are not already logged on to NavisCore, select NavisCore Logon from
the Misc menu, and enter your operator password.
3. From the Administer menu, select Lucent Parameters Set Parameters.
The Switch Back Panel dialog box appears for the selected switch.
4. Select the NP module slot (indicated by NPA) on the switch back panel.
(Note: selecting an NP also selects the switching fabric and timing modules).
5. From the Actions options menu on the Switch Back Panel dialog box, select
Switch to Redundant Unit.
6. Choose Go. The SwitchOver dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 8-2.

Upgrading the Node Processor
In the following topics, this chapter describes how to upgrade a node processor (NP or
NP1) to an NP2:
• Introduction
• Prerequisites
• Software Installation
• Upgrading to NP2 in a Non-Redundant Configuration
• NP Redundancy
• Upgrading to NP2s in a Redundant Configuration
• Other Considerations
• Backout Procedure After Upgrading to the NP2
Introduction
The Node Processor 2 (NP2) is a newer version of the original node processor module
(NP or NP1) for the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch. This chapter describes how to
upgrade an original node processor module to an NP2 in both redundant and
non-redundant configurations. This document also describes how to revert back or
“backout” to NP1s after having upgraded to NP2s
Caution – Since the NP2 has 768 MB of RAM and the NP1 has 128 MB of memory,
! the NP2 can build a bigger routing database and can store much more billing
information than an NP1. Therefore, the only valid configurations supported in the
field are NP1-NP1 and NP2-NP2, except during the upgrade or backout process. At all
other times with an NP1-NP2 redundant combination, the integrity and proper
functionality of the switch is not assured.
Note – Read all of the instructions in this chapter and familiarize yourself with all
steps before starting this procedure.
Before starting the upgrade process, you must also review the GX 550 SRN that is
associated with the GX 550 Release you are using to familiarize yourself with any
release-specific information about the NP module. The GX 550 SRN does document
NP2 restrictions that you should be aware of before starting the upgrade process.
Reverting back to the NP1 following upgrade to NP2 is not recommended. See
“Backout Procedure After Upgrading to the NP2” on page 9-27 for more information.
Prerequisites
Before starting the upgrade process, you must also review the GX 550 SRN that is
associated with the GX 550 Release you are using to familiarize yourself with any
release-specific information about the NP module. The GX 550 SRN does document
NP2 restrictions that you should be aware of before starting the upgrade process.
In addition, the SRN contains information about software revisions, part numbers, file
types and file sizes, build IDs and descriptions, and interoperability among switches.
If you are unsure as to whether you have the required minimum version or required
software, contact the Lucent Technical Assistance Center (TAC). See the “Technical
Support” on page -xxxv for contact information for the TAC.
Warning – Static electricity can damage the equipment. Wear an antistatic wrist strap
when handling any of the switch components. Connect it to one of the ESD grounding
jacks at the front or rear of the switch, as shown in Figure 9-1 on page 9-6.
NP Module Insertion
When inserting horizontally-oriented modules like the NP into the switch chassis, you
must insert them as straight as possible, avoiding excessive movement in both the
horizontal and vertical directions, to avoid deforming or bending the card guides
inside the chassis. This kind of damage to the card guide causes the NP to become
stuck, or otherwise difficult to fully insert without further damage. In extreme cases, a
badly deformed card guide could allow an inserted module to fall completely through,
onto the module below.
Lucent recommends that you insert approximately one-third of the module as straight
as possible into the chassis, and then complete the insertion by placing a single finger
or thumb in the middle of the module and pressing forward with a light, constant
pressure.
Software Installation
1. Refer to “Prerequisites” on page 9-3 for the minimum switch software version
needed to support the NP2 node processor module.
2. Before proceeding, verify that the minimum switch software is installed (see
“Minimum Software Versions” on page 9-3). If it is not installed, refer to the
appropriate SRN for detailed installation instructions and verification.
To upgrade a non-redundant NP1 to an NP2, you cannot replace the NP1 with an NP2
and then do a PRAM-synch operation. The configuration files will not expand to the
NP2-sized configuration files.
You cannot perform an ‘Erase Standby’ operation on the NP2 when there is an
active NP1. This operation must be performed on an inactive switch.

Note – Although a torque driver is not supplied in the GX 550 Multiservice WAN
switch accessory kit, it is recommended that, when tightening thumbscrews with a #2
Phillips-head screwdriver, a maximum of 6 to 8 inch-pounds of torque should be used.
7. Wait until the standby NP2’s StnBy LED is blinking green and the active NP1’s
StnBy LED is solid green. This may take approximately 10 to 30 minutes
(depending on the currently loaded NP2 software, size of the routing tables,
number of line cards, and configuration).
Note – The status of the currently loaded NP2 software determines the copy
operations that occur as follows:
• If the NP2 already has a prior release of the software loaded, the NP2 comes
up in a marginal state.
• If the NP2 has the same application (npn.rom) and bootflash (npnboot.rom) as
the NP1, only the configuration files are copied from the NP1 (and not the line
card images.)
• If the NP2 has no bootflash (blank disk), the NP1 copies its bootflash through
the backchannel to the NP2. All other software is copied through the switch
fabric onto the NP2.
• If the NP2 has only a bootflash, the NP2 loads the bootflash and then copies
all of the software from the NP1 to the NP2 disk.
8. Verify that the card state is active by using the show card state console command.
The display should indicate that slot 1 and slot 2 are both active as shown in the
following example:
show card state
Card State
1 Active
2 Active
3 Active
4 Active
5 Active
6 Active
7 Active
8 Active

9. Using NavisCore, perform the following steps to set the node processor
redundancy:
a. Select the appropriate switch object from the NavisCore network map.
b. If you are not already logged on to NavisCore, select NavisCore Logon
from the Misc menu, and enter your operator password.
c. From the Administer menu, select Lucent Parameters Set Parameters.
The Switch Back Panel dialog box appears for the selected switch.
d. Select the NP module slot (indicated by NPA) on the switch back panel and
double-click the left mouse button. The Set Card Attributes dialog box
appears.
e. Set the Redundancy field to Redundant in the Set Card Attributes dialog box.
f. Select OK.
10. Ensure that the active card has redundancy enabled. To do this, use the show
system console command as shown in the following example.
show system
Switch Name: GX-550-2
System Desc: Lucent Technologies, Inc. GX 550
Model: GX-550
Location:
Contact:
System State: Active
Uptime: 7 minutes 35 seconds
13. Use the show copy console command to verify that the configuration files have
been copied.The copy operation is complete when the system displays the
following message after you enter the show copy command:
Configuration Initialization States
Toggle Lockout Period is inactive.
Standby is not copying files
Note – Do not proceed until the output from the show copy command indicates that
the configuration files have been copied; otherwise, the configuration files will be
corrupted during the NP switchover.
Re-issue the show copy command approximately every 5 minutes, to monitor the
progress of the copying.
14. Reset the standby card from the console by using the reset card console command
as shown in the following example:
reset card slot-number
Where slot-number is the slot number for the standby card. (Use the show system
command to verify the slot number for the standby card.)
The reset card command resets the specified card and performs the following
functions:
• Checks to verify that redundancy is enabled
• Checks to verify whether the card is in the process of loading, bootstrapping,
warm booting, or synchronization
• Checks to verify whether the PRAM files are copied to the standby
15. Verify that the card state has a status of active. Display the card state status by
using the show card state console command. Note that as the switch code is
loading, the system will display a card state status of loading. Once the switch
code is loaded, the card indicates a status of active.
16. Force an NP switchover so that the standby NP2 that you just inserted becomes
the active NP and the NP1 becomes the standby NP. You can use either the
console or NavisCore to force this switchover.
2. Change the console port speed for the terminal session to 115,200 bits per second,
for the reasons described in the following note.
Note – For the Pentium boards on the NP2, the console speed is 115,200 bps. For the
NP1, the console speed is 19,200 bps. With a switchover from an NP1 to an NP2, the
console speed must be increased; otherwise unintelligible characters appear on the
screen.
The console session becomes inoperable during an NP switchover between NP1s and
NP2s. You can re-establish the session by changing the console port speed, as
appropriate.
3. By default, NavisCore regards the NP2 that you just inserted to be an NP1, so you
must explicitly set it to be a non-redundant NP2 within NavisCore, as follows:
a. Select the appropriate switch object from the NavisCore network map.
b. From the Misc menu, select NavisCore Logon. Enter your operator
password.
c. From the Administer menu, select Lucent Parameters Set Parameters.
The Switch Back Panel dialog box appears for the selected switch.
d. Select the NP slot (indicated by NPA) on the switch back panel and
double-click the left mouse button. The Set Card Attributes dialog box
appears.
e. Set the Card Type field to Node Processor 2.
f. Set the Redundancy field to Stand Alone, and verify that the other fields are
set correctly (see Table 9-1 on page 9-25).
g. Choose OK to save the attributes or choose Cancel to exit from the dialog
box. The Switch Back Panel dialog box reappears. If you selected OK, the
Switch Back Panel dialog box displays the configured NP.
4. Remove the standby NP1, as follows:
a. Put on the antistatic wrist strap and plug it into one of the ESD grounding
jacks on the switch (see Figure 9-1 on page 9-6).
b. Verify that the StnBy LED is blinking green on the NP1 that you want to
remove — this indicates that it is the standby NP.
NP Redundancy
Redundant NP modules (active and standby) monitor each other's integrity through
the use of a keep-alive protocol. A redundancy manager in each NP exchanges
keep-alive messages over the cell bus.
For detailed information about how to monitor an NP module, see the B-STDX, CBX,
and GX Switch Diagnostics User’s Guide.
Active NP Failure
If the standby NP detects a failure in the active NP:
1. The standby NP disables the active NP and performs a warm boot to become the
active NP.
2. The new active NP isolates the failed NP, using special redundancy hardware.
3. The new active NP keeps the old active NP isolated until it is fully booted up.
When the old active NP finishes booting, it then acts as the standby NP and begins to
send keep-alive polls to the new active module.
Standby NP Failure
If the active NP detects any failure in the standby NP, it disables and isolates the
standby NP and reports the problem to the NMS.
PRAM Synchronization
• Both SNMP and TFTP mechanisms are used to keep the PRAM of redundant NP
modules synchronized.
• All PRAM downloads go to the active NP module. After the active NP receives a
new PRAM, it downloads the new PRAM to its redundant partner.
• The active NP monitors the PRAM in the standby NP and automatically
downloads the PRAM if a mismatch is detected.
b. Verify that the StnBy LED is blinking green on one of the NPs (to indicate the
standby NP), and solid green on the other NP (to indicate the active NP).
6. Remove the standby NP1 as follows:
a. Put on the antistatic wrist strap and plug it into one of the ESD grounding
jacks on the switch
(see Figure 9-1 on page 9-6).
b. Verify that the StnBy LED is blinking green on the NP1 that you want to
remove — this indicates that it is the standby NP.
c. Using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, loosen the thumbscrews located on the
left and right of the standby NP1.
d. Slide the ejector lock to the left to disconnect the standby NP1 from the
switch.
e. Lift the left and right card ejectors simultaneously to disengage the standby
NP1 from the switch.
f. Slide the standby NP1 out of the switch, and place it in an antistatic container.
7. Wait until the active NP1’s StnBy LED is off — this indicates that there is no
standby NP installed.
8. Insert an NP2 into the unused NP slot — making it the standby NP, as follows:
a. Ensure that the left and right card ejectors on the NP2 are lifted.
b. At the front of the switch, align the NP2 with the card guides and carefully
slide it into the switch. Press firmly to ensure that it has engaged the
backplane connectors.
c. Depress the card ejectors simultaneously.
d. Slide the ejector lock to the right.
e. Tighten the thumbscrews located on the left and right of the NP2. Although a
torque driver is not supplied in the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch
accessory kit, it is recommended that, when tightening thumbscrews with a #2
Phillips-head screwdriver, a maximum of 6 to 8 inch-pounds of torque should
be used.
9. Wait until the Standby NP2’s Standby LED is blinking green and the active NP1’s
Standby LED is solid green. This may take approximately 20-30 minutes
(depending on the currently loaded NP2 software, size of the routing tables,
number of line cards, and configuration).
10. Ensure that the active card has redundancy enabled. To do this, use the show
system console command. The following example illustrates the use of this
command.

double-clicking on the slot.)
e. Set the No Cold Boot After Download option.
f. Select the appropriate set to Overwrite (either set A or set B).
g. Select OK.
12. Wait for the configuration to be copied from the active NP1 to the standby NP2
(approximately 30 minutes).
13. Use the show copy console command to verify that the configuration files have
been copied.The copy operation is complete when the system displays the
following message after you enter the show copy command:
Configuration Initialization States
Toggle Lockout Period is inactive.
Standby is not copying files
Caution – Do not proceed until the output from the show copy command indicates
! that the configuration files have been copied; otherwise, the configuration files will be
corrupted during the NP switchover.
Re-issue the show copy command approximately every 5 minutes, to monitor the
progress of the copying.
14. Reset the standby card from the console by using the reset card console command
as shown in the following example:
reset card card-number
This command resets the specified card and performs the following functions:
• Checks to verify that redundancy is enabled
• Checks to verify whether the card is in the process of loading, bootstrapping,
warm booting, or synchronization
• Checks to verify whether the PRAM files are copied to the standby
15. Verify that the card state has a status of active. Display the card state status by
using the show card state console command. Note that as the switch code is
loading, the system will display a card state status of loading. Once the switch
code is loaded, the card indicates a status of active.
16. Force an NP switchover so that the standby NP2 that you just inserted becomes
the active NP and the NP1 becomes the standby NP. You can use either the
console or NavisCore to force this switchover.

device, for the reasons described in the following note:
Note – For the Pentium boards on the NP2, the console speed is 115,200 bps. For the
NP1, the console speed is 19,200 bps. With a switchover from an NP1 to an NP2, the
console speed must be increased; otherwise unintelligible characters appear on the
screen.
The console session becomes inoperable during an NP switchover between NP1s and
NP2s. You can re-establish the session by changing the console port speed, as
appropriate.
3. After the configuration files have been copied, if you use the show system
command from the switch console, the following message should appear: NP
Redundancy, Enabled.
4. By default, NavisCore regards the NP2 that you just inserted to be an NP1, so you
must explicitly set it to be an NP2 within NavisCore, as follows:

Other Considerations
Caution – After traffic stabilizes with more than 100 logical ports, physical ports, or
! trunks provisioned (or more than 100 hours of subscriber data) you cannot downgrade
an NP2 to an NP1 because the NP2 supports a much larger configuration database
than the NP1. With a smaller NP2 configuration database, it is possible to downgrade,
or backout to an NP1 configuration. See “Backout Procedure After Upgrading to the
NP2” on page 9-27 for more information.
To revert back, or back-out to using NP1s after a previous upgrade to NP2s, perform
one of the following procedures, depending on whether the NP configuration is
non-redundant or redundant:
• “Backout Procedure for Non-Redundant Configuration” on page 9-28
• “Backout Procedure for Redundant Configuration” on page 9-31
Warning – Static electricity can damage the equipment. Wear an antistatic wrist strap
when handling any of the switch components. Connect it to one of the ESD grounding
jacks at the front or rear of the switch, as shown in Figure 9-1 on page 9-6.
For a non-redundant NP2 configuration, perform the following steps to revert back to
a non-redundant NP1 configuration:
1. Put on the antistatic wrist strap (provided in the accessory kit) and plug it into one
of the ESD grounding jacks on the switch (see Figure 9-1 on page 9-6).
2. Verify that you have an available NP1 with preloaded software release (minimum
08.00.03.xx).
3. Remove the bezel that covers the NP and SF modules on the front of the switch.
4. Verify that the three DIP switches on the installed NP2, and on the NP1 that you
want to install, are set to the default recommended mode of operation, in which all
are set to the ON (up) position.
5. On the front of the switch, verify that the NP configuration is non-redundant, as
follows:
a. Verify that there is only one NP2 in either slot 1 or slot 2 (the NP slots).
b. Verify that the StnBy LED on the NP2 is off — this indicates that there is no
standby NP installed.
6. Insert the NP1 (loaded with a minimum of 08.00.03.xx software) into the unused
NP slot (temporarily making it the standby NP).
7. The standby NP1 loads the boot image and application image and copies the
configuration files from the active NP2.
Wait until the standby NP1’s Good LED (the LED for module status, nearest to
the right edge) is either solid green or slowly blinking green. This may take
approximately 20-30 minutes (depending on the size of the routing tables, number
of line cards, and configuration).
8. Wait until the standby NP1’s StnBy LED is blinking green and the active NP2’s
StnBy LED is solid green — this indicates that there is NP redundancy.
9. Using NavisCore, perform the following steps to set the node processor
redundancy:
a. Select the appropriate switch object from the NavisCore network map.
b. If you are not already logged on to NavisCore, select NavisCore Logon
from the Misc menu, and enter your operator password.
c. From the Administer menu, select Lucent Parameters Set Parameters.
The Switch Back Panel dialog box appears for the selected switch.
d. Select the NP module slot (indicated by NPA) on the switch back panel and
double-click the left mouse button. The Set Card Attributes dialog box
appears.
e. Set the Redundancy field to Redundant in the Set Card Attributes dialog box.
f. Select OK.
10. Wait for the configuration files to be copied from the active NP2 to the standby
NP1 (approximately 20-30 minutes), and verify it by using the show copy
command from the switch console.
Caution – Do not proceed until the output from the show copy command indicates
! that the configuration files have been copied; otherwise, the configuration files will be
corrupted during the NP switchover.
Re-issue the show copy command approximately every 5 minutes, to monitor the
progress of the copying. The copying will be complete when the system replies with a
message stating that the standby is not copying any files.
11. After the configuration files have been copied, if you use the show system
command from the switch console, the following message should appear: NP
Redundancy, Enabled.
12. Force an NP switchover in which the standby NP1 that you just inserted becomes
the active NP and the NP2 becomes the standby NP, by entering the following
command at the remote console:
toggle card slot number
Where slot number is the number that identifies the slot that contains the
active NP.
13. Change the console speed to 19,200 bits per second on your terminal session
device, for the reasons described in the following note:
Note – For the Pentium boards on the NP2, the console speed is 115,200 bps. For the
NP1, the console speed is 19,200 bps. Therefore, the backout from an NP2 to an NP1
requires that the console speed be decreased; otherwise unintelligible characters
appear on the screen.
The console session becomes inoperable during an NP switchover between NP1s and
NP2s. You can re-establish the session by changing the console port speed, as
appropriate.
14. Remove the standby NP2 (indicated by a blinking green StnBy LED) and place it
in an antistatic container.
15. Wait until the active NP1’s Good LED (the LED for module status, nearest to the
right edge) is
solid green; this may take several minutes.
16. Wait until the active NP1’s StnBy LED is off — this indicates that there is no
standby NP installed.
17. Verify in NavisCore that all fields are set correctly in the Set Card Attributes
dialog box, as follows:
a. Select the appropriate switch object from the NavisCore network map.
b. If you are not already logged on to NavisCore, select NavisCore Logon
from the Misc menu, and enter your operator password.
c. From the Administer menu, select Lucent Parameters Set Parameters.
The Switch Back Panel dialog box appears for the selected switch.
d. Select the NP slot (indicated by NPA) on the switch back panel and
double-click the left mouse button. The Set Card Attributes dialog box
appears.
e. Verify (or change if necessary) that the Card Type field is set to Node
Processor (for Node
Processor 1).
f. Verify that the Redundancy field is set to Stand Alone, and verify that all of
the other fields are set correctly (see Table 9-1 on page 9-25).
g. Choose OK to save the attributes or choose Cancel to exit from the dialog
box. The Switch Back Panel dialog box reappears. If you selected OK, the
Switch Back Panel dialog box displays the configured NP.
18. Re-install the front bezel that covers the NP and SF modules.
Warning – Static electricity can damage the equipment. Wear an antistatic wrist strap
when handling any of the switch components. Connect it to one of the ESD grounding
jacks at the front or rear of the switch, as shown in Figure 9-1 on page 9-6.
For a redundant NP2 configuration, perform the following steps to revert back to a
redundant NP1 configuration.
1. Put on the antistatic wrist strap (provided in the accessory kit) and plug it into one
of the ESD grounding jacks on the switch (see Figure 9-1 on page 9-6).
2. Verify that you have two available NP1s with preloaded software release
(minimum 08.00.03.xx, see SRN for details).
3. Remove the bezel that covers the NP and SF modules on the front of the switch.
4. Verify that the three DIP switches on the installed NP2s, and on the NP1s that you
want to install, are set to the default recommended mode of operation, in which all
are set to the ON (up) position.
5. On the front of the switch, verify that the NP configuration is redundant, as
follows:
a. Verify that there are NP2s in both of slots 1 and 2 (the NP slots).
b. Verify that the StnBy LED is blinking green on one of the NPs (to indicate the
standby NP), and solid green on the other NP (to indicate the active NP).
6. Remove the standby NP2 (indicated by a blinking green StnBy LED) and place it
in an antistatic container.
7. Wait until the active NP2’s Good LED (the LED for module status, nearest to the
right edge) is solid green; this may take approximately 20-30 minutes (depending
on the size of the routing tables, number of line cards, and configuration), and the
yellow Marg. LED becomes lit.
8. Wait until the active NP2’s StnBy LED is off — this indicates that there is no
standby NP installed.
9. Insert an NP1 (loaded with a minimum of 08.00.03.xx software) into the unused
NP slot — making it the standby NP).
10. The standby NP1 loads the boot image and application image and copies the
configuration files from the active NP2.
Wait until the standby NP1’s Good LED (the LED for module status, nearest to
the right edge) is either solid green or slowly blinking green. This may take several
minutes.
11. Wait until the standby NP1’s StnBy LED is blinking green and the active NP2’s
StnBy LED is solid green — this indicates that there is NP redundancy.
12. Determine whether the configuration files have been copied from the active NP2
to the standby NP1 by using the show copy command from the switch console.
Caution – Do not proceed until the output from the show copy command indicates
! that the configuration files have been copied; otherwise, the configuration files will be
corrupted during the NP switchover.
Re-issue the show copy command approximately every 5 minutes, to monitor the
progress of the copying. The copying will be complete when the system replies with a
message stating that the standby is not copying any files.
13. After the configuration files have been copied, if you use the show system
command from the switch console, the following message should appear: NP
Redundancy, Enabled.
14. Force an NP switchover in which the standby NP1 that you just inserted (loaded
with an earlier version of the software) becomes the active NP and the NP2
becomes the standby NP, by entering the following command at the remote
console:
toggle card 1
15. Change the console speed to 19,200 bits per second on your terminal session
device, for the reasons described in the following note:
Note – For the Pentium boards on the NP2, the console speed is 115,200 bps. For the
NP1, the console speed is 19,200 bps. Therefore, the backout from an NP2 to an NP1
requires that the console speed be decreased; otherwise unintelligible characters
appear on the screen.
The console session becomes inoperable during an NP switchover between NP1s and
NP2s. You can re-establish the session by changing the console port speed, as
appropriate.
16. Remove the standby NP2 (indicated by a blinking green StnBy LED) and place it
in an antistatic container.
17. Wait until the active NP1’s Good LED (the LED for module status, nearest to the
right edge) is solid green; this may take several minutes.
18. Wait until the active NP1’s StnBy LED is off — this indicates that there is no
standby NP installed.
19. Insert an NP1 (loaded with a minimum of 08.00.03.xx software) into the unused

Module Redundancy
This appendix describes the module redundancy features of the GX 550 Multiservice
WAN switch. The GX 550 redundancy and recovery consists of both hardware and
software mechanisms that enable the switch to continue operation after certain types
of failures.
A redundant pair consists of identically configured modules of the same model type.
Note – Read the applicable GX 550 switch software release notice (SRN) to
determine whether the GX 550 ES is supported in your current release.

Active NP Failure
The NP module configured as the standby partner continually polls the active NP
module for its operational status. If the standby NP detects a failure in the active NP:
1. The standby NP disables the active NP and performs a warm boot to become the
active NP.
2. The new active NP isolates the failed NP, using special redundancy hardware.
3. The new active NP keeps the old active NP isolated until it is fully booted up.
4. When the old active NP finishes booting, it then acts as the standby NP and begins
to send keep-alive polls to the new active module.
Standby NP Failure
The NP module configured as the standby NP has an internal “watchdog” that
continually polls the standby NP for its operational status. If the watchdog detects any
failure in the standby NP, it disables and isolates the standby NP and reports the
problem to the NMS.
PRAM Synchronization
Both SNMP and TFTP mechanisms are used to keep the PRAM of redundant NP
modules synchronized.
All PRAM downloads go to the active NP module. After the active NP receives a new
PRAM, it downloads the new PRAM to its redundant partner.
The active NP monitors the PRAM in the standby NP and automatically downloads
the PRAM if a mismatch is detected.
If you install a standby NP that does not contain boot flash or application code, the
active NP automatically downloads them to the standby NP.
NP Switchovers
The redundancy scheme provides a fault-tolerant system. If an NP fails, the
switchover to the standby NP does not cause a loss of data, because data is transferred
through the SF, and the Virtual Network Navigator (VNN) routing tables reside on the
BIOs. During the NP reboot, new PVCs/SVCs can be established and rerouting of
existing PVCs/SVCs can occur for this node, but no IP routing can occur through this
node (i.e., no NMS traffic).
Note – Selecting the standby NP during a manual switchover also selects the
switching fabric and timing modules simultaneously.
Caution – Operating the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch with no timing module
! will shut down the cooling fans and can cause equipment damage from overheating.
If no standby timing module is installed, power down the switch before removing the
timing module.
For optimum fault coverage, connect each downlink phy module into a 1:1 redundant
BIO module. Fault monitoring and switchover from the active to the standby module
is controlled by GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch software.
Each GX 550 ES downlink phy module must connect to one uplink phy module in the
GX 550 ES, by using a standard multimode fiber cable.
Redundancy Status
The GX 550 ES downlink phy module does not have a redundancy status LED, so the
redundancy status of each downlink phy module can be read via the NavisCore NMS.
For more information, see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Switch Module Configuration
Guide.

Fiber Cable Management
This appendix describes the optional fiber cable management system which can be
used with the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch.
Note – This fiber cable management tray may only be used on a GX 550 Multiservice
WAN switch installed in an open frame equipment rack. It is not designed for use in an
enclosed equipment rack.
The fiber cable management tray (Product code: 11666) can be purchased from
Lucent Technologies. Figure E-1 on page E-2 details the different parts of the fiber
cable management tray.

Before handling any of the switch components, put on the antistatic wrist strap that is
provided in the GX 550’s accessory kit, and connect it to the grounding jack on the
front or rear of the switch (see Figure 3-2 in Chapter 3).
Note – It is recommended that two fiber cable management trays be installed; one
each for the top and bottom rows of phy cards installed in the GX 550 Multiservice
WAN switch.

page E-5).
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the left side mounting rail of the fiber cable
management tray.
Cable Distribution
The fiber-optic cables attached to the rear of the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch
may now be distributed through the slots in the cable management tray. To distribute
the cables:
1. Using your fingers, loosen the two thumb screws on the top of the access cover on
the fiber cable management tray.
2. Holding the thumb screws, slide the access cover towards you and off the tray.
3. Thread the fiber-optic cables from the rear of the GX 550 through the slots in the
fiber cable management tray so the cables are directed out the side of the tray
(see Figure E-4 on page E-7). Slide the tray forward or backward as necessary to
access the cables or phy cards.
