Preparing for installation Safety recommendations To avoid possible bodily injury and equipment damage, read all safety recommendations carefully before installation. Note that the recommendations do not cover every possible hazardous condition. Safety symbols When reading this document, note the following symbols: WARNING means an alert that calls attention to important information that if not understood or followed can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Do not stare into any fiber port when the L1000-A has power. The laser light emitted from the optical • fiber may hurt your eyes. Use fiber test equipment, rather than a microscope or magnifier to observe an operating fiber •...

Grounding the L1000-A WARNING! Correctly connecting the L1000-A grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. The power input end of the L1000-A has a noise filter, whose central ground is directly connected to the chassis to form the chassis ground (commonly known as PGND). You must securely connect this chassis ground to the earth so the faradism and leakage electricity can be safely released to the earth to minimize EMI susceptibility of the L1000-A.
Figure 11 Connecting the grounding cable to the grounding hole of L1000-A NOTE: The resistance reading should be smaller than 5 ohms between L1000-A chassis and the ground. • To guarantee the grounding effect, use the grounding cable provided with the L1000-A to connect to •...
Figure 12 Installing the power module Fasten the captive screws on the power module with a Phillips screwdriver. NOTE: • For more information about power module LEDs, see "Appendix B LEDs." An AC power module and a DC power module cannot be installed on the same L1000-A. •...
The L1000-A has SFP fiber ports, which only support LC connectors. The procedures for connecting SFP fiber ports are similar. The following uses the SFP port as an example. To connect a fiber port to a peer device through optical fibers: Remove the dust plug from the fiber port.
Figure 14 Connecting an AC power cord to the L1000-A Connecting a DC power cord Identify the plug for connecting to the L1000-A, correctly orient the plug with the RPS receptacle on the L1000-A chassis, and insert the plug into the receptacle. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to fasten the screws on the plug.
Installing FRUs Installing an interface module The methods for installing NSQ1GT2UA0, NSQ1GP4U0, and NSQ1XS2U0 are similar. The following example installs the NSQ1XS2U0 to the F1000-A-EI. IMPORTANT: NSQ1XS2U0 can be installed to only slot 1. NSQ1GT2UA0 and NSQ1GP4U0 can be installed to either slot 1 or slot 2.
Figure 17 Pushing the interface module into the slot Fasten the captive screws on the interface module with a Phillips screwdriver. Installing a lightning protector for a network port The lightning protector for a network port is only applicable to a copper Ethernet port. If part of the network cable of a copper Ethernet port must be routed outdoors, connect a lightning protector to the cable before you plug the cable into the port.
Figure 18 Installing a lightning protector (1) Grounding wire (2) Lightning protector for a network port (3) Outdoor network cable (4) Cable connected to the L1000-A Installation precautions The performance of the port lightning protector may be affected in the following cases: The port lightning protector is installed in reverse direction.

After you connect the AC power cord from the L1000-A to a socket on the power strip, verify that the green RUN LED on the strip is on and the red LED is off. If the red LED is on, use a multimeter to check the polarity of the wires in the power socket for wrong connections.
Logging in and performing basic configurations The first time you access the L1000-A, you can log in to the CLI through the console port or log in to the Web interface by using a Web browser. After login, you can configure Telnet for remote access. Logging in to the CLI through the console port To log in to the CLI through the console port, you must have a console cable and a terminal (for example, a PC).
IMPORTANT: Identify the mark on the console port and make sure you are connecting to the correct port. • The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. If the L1000-A has been powered on, always • connect the console cable to the PC before connecting it to the L1000-A, and when you disconnect the cable, first disconnect it from the L1000-A.

Appendix E Cabling recommendations When the L1000-A is mounted in a 19-inch standard rack, the interface cables are routed through the cable management brackets, bound at cabling racks on chassis sides, and then routed up or down to pass through the chassis top or the raised floor, depending on the available equipment room condition. The power cables run along the two sides of the chassis and out of the chassis either from the chassis top or the raised floor depending on the equipment room conditions (power distribution cabinet, lightning protection box, connector strip, and so on) of the exchange office.

Figure 55 Correct and incorrect cable binding Route different types of cables (for example, power cables and signal cables) separately. If they • are close to one another, cross them over one another. If you route them in parallel, make sure the space between a power cable bundle and a signal cable bundle is at least 30 mm (1.18 in).
Page 81
Figure 57 Binding cables where they must be bent Route, bind, and attach excess cables for easy, safe maintenance activities and correct operations. • Do not tie power cables to slide rails. • • When you connect a cable to an articulated part, for example, when you connect a grounding cable to a cabinet door, leave enough slack in cables and make sure they are not stressed from any movement of the part.
