1.11.3 Optical Card Cable Routing
The ONS 15600 SDH has a cable-management tray with discrete fiber routing paths for each optical
card’s cables. Each fiber routing path has a plastic cable latch for securing the cables in the fiber routing
path. You can rotate the cable latch into two positions, open or closed; make sure that the cable latch is
always completely open before you insert or remove the optical cables. Make sure all fiber-optic cables
are disconnected from a card before you remove it.
1.11.4 Card Replacement
To replace an ONS 15600 SDH card with another card of the same type, you do not need to make any
changes to the database; remove the old card and replace it with a new card. You can use the CTC Change
Card feature to replace a card with a new card while maintaining all existing provisioning. To replace a
card with a card of a different type, delete the original card from CTC, physically remove the card, and
replace it with the new card.
Caution
Removing any active/working card from the ONS 15600 SDH can result in traffic interruption. Use
caution when replacing cards and verify that only inactive or standby cards are being replaced. If the
active card needs to be replaced, switch it to standby prior to removing the card from the node.
