Required Tools
You will need these tools to install the EWDM passive optical system:
•
Number 2 Phillips screwdriver for the 10-32 or the 12-24 chassis installation screws.
•
Wrist strap or other personal grounding device to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
•
Antistatic mat or antistatic foam to set the equipment on.
•
Fiber-optic end-face cleaning tools and inspection equipment. For complete information on
inspecting and cleaning fiber-optic connections, refer to the white-paper document at this URL:

Installing the Two-Slot Chassis (CWDM-CHASSIS-2=)
Note
Ensure that you install the two-slot chassis in the same rack or an adjacent rack to your system so that
you can connect all the cables between your OADM modules and the transceivers in your system.
Caution
When performing the following procedures, wear a grounding strap to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge to the OADM module. Some platforms have an ESD connector for attaching the wrist strap.
To mount the two-slot chassis in an equipment rack, follow these steps:
Step 1
Remove the two-slot chassis from the shipping packaging.
Step 2
Position the two-slot chassis in the rack where you are going to install it. Align the mounting holes in
the chassis L brackets with the mounting holes in the equipment rack to ensure that the two-slot chassis
is mounted straight and level. Use a level or tape measure to verify that the chassis is positioned level in
the rack.
Step 3
Secure the two-slot chassis using four (two per side) 12-24 x 3/4-inch screws or four 10-32 x 3/4-inch
screws. Thread the screws through the elongated holes in the L bracket and into the threaded holes in the
mounting post. (See
Figure 10
