Page 27: Receiver Description

The receiver module installs into a Prisma II XD Chassis directly, or into a standard Prisma II Chassis by means of a host module that accepts up to two Prisma II High Density application modules. The receiver front panel contains two optical pluggable module (OPM) connectors that provides inputs for four separate optical receiver circuits.
Page 28

The receiver supports 2.5 GHz (1:1) and 5 GHz (2:1) configurations in an XD form factor for both Prisma II (using Host Module) and Prisma XD Chassis. The OPM optical input uses a dual LC/PC connector and supports all standard reverse bandwidths: 40, 42, 55, 65, and 85 MHz.

The RF connectors are arranged in pairs, and each pair is numbered to identify its corresponding module slot.
Page 56: Connecting The Rf Cables To The Chassis

Complete the appropriate procedure below to connect RF cables for the module. Note: This procedure assumes that the chassis is mounted in a rack. Standard Prisma II Chassis Note: This procedure assumes a host module with receivers in both lower and upper half-slot positions.
Page 57

If F connectors are installed, use a 7/16-in. open-end wrench to secure all cables to the connectors at the chassis. Prisma II XD Chassis Attach a 75-ohm RF cable to the appropriate RF destination. Locate the RF ports at the back of the chassis. In this diagram, the RX1 and RX3 are routed to Port A, RX2 and RX4 are routed to Port B.
Page 58: Installing The Module In The Chassis

All Prisma II high-density application modules must be installed in a host  module before they can be mounted in a standard Prisma II Chassis. Prisma II host modules prior to Rev C (date codes through A2006) do not  support the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus.
Page 59

Installing the Module in the Chassis Complete the following steps to install the application modules in the host module. Align the ridges on the top and bottom of the module with the guide slots located on the host module and the chassis. Be careful to keep the module level as you slide it into the host to avoid bending the pins on the host back plane.
Page 60: To Install The Module In The Chassis

Chapter 2 Module Installation To Install the Module in the Chassis Note: This procedure assumes that the chassis is mounted in a rack. Locate the fiber guides at the bottom of the chassis and the module guide slots inside the chassis as shown in the following illustration. Align the ridges on the top and bottom of the host module with the guide slots on the chassis.
Page 61: To Install The Module In A Prisma Ii Xd Chassis

Fill any unused chassis slots with module blanks to help ensure proper cooling air flow. Blanks for high density modules are available to fill unused host module slots. To Install the Module in a Prisma II XD Chassis Note: This procedure assumes that the chassis is installed in a rack. WARNING: Avoid damage to your eyes! Do not look into any optical connector while the system is active.

Chapter 2 Module Installation Locate the fiber guides at the bottom of the chassis and the module guide slots inside the chassis as shown in the following illustration. Align the ridges on the top and bottom of the module with the module guide slots located on the chassis.
Page 63: Cleaning Optical Connectors

Cleaning Optical Connectors Cleaning Optical Connectors CAUTION: Proper operation of this equipment requires clean optical fibers. Dirty fibers will adversely affect performance. Proper cleaning is imperative. The proper procedure for cleaning optical connectors depends on the connector type. The following describes general instructions for fiber optic cleaning. Use your company's established procedures, if any, but also consider the following.
Page 64: To Clean Optical Connectors

Chapter 2 Module Installation To Clean Optical Connectors Warning:  Avoid personal injury! Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.  Avoid personal injury! The laser light source on this equipment (if a transmitter) or the fiber cables connected to this equipment emit invisible laser radiation.
Page 65: Connecting Optical Cables

Avoid direct exposure to the laser light source. Ensure that the fiber cable is terminated before "fishing." The Fiber Fish tool that was shipped with the Prisma II Chassis is used to pull an optical cable from the rear of the chassis to the front of the chassis so the optical cables can be connected to optical connectors on the front panel of the modules.
Page 66: Cable Routing - Prisma Xd Chassis

Chapter 2 Module Installation To Pull the Optical Cable to the Module Insert the Fiber Fish tool through the slot located just above the bottom of the chassis. At the rear of the chassis, locate the appropriate optical cable. Insert the optical cable into the notched area of the Fiber Fish tool as shown below.
Page 67: To Connect Optical Cables To Module

Connecting Optical Cables To Connect Optical Cables to Module Important: Observe laser safety precautions. Refer to Laser Safety information earlier in this guide. Note: This procedure assumes that the chassis is mounted in a rack and that the optical cable has been installed at the node. CAUTION: The OPM is sensitive to electrostatic discharge.
