Installing and Removing Modules
The modules used on the Cisco ONS 15530 are hot-swappable. This section describes the procedures for
installing and removing the OADM (optical add drop multiplexing) module, the PSM (protection switch
modules), the OSC (optical supervisory channel) module, the WB-VOA (wide-band variable optical
attenuator) module, and the PB-OE (per-band power equalizer) module.
Warning
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the card. Do not directly
touch the backplane with your hand or any metal tool, or you could shock yourself.
Installing OADM Modules and PSMs
Slot 0 of the Cisco ONS 15530 chassis holds half height OADM modules and PSMs.
To install an OADM module or PSM, follow these steps:
Step 1
Remove the module or the filler module from slot 0 of the Cisco ONS 15530 chassis.
Step 2
Take a new module from the shipping container.
Step 3
Insert the module carefully into slot 0 of the Cisco ONS 15530 chassis while guiding the upper and lower
edges of the module in the tracks until its connectors come into contact with the backplane connectors.
Place the module locking lever in place, and then use a number 1 Philips screwdriver to tighten the
module locking lever.
