Introduction
This chapter describes how to install and remove an E5-APP-B card from an EAGLE shelf.
Note: E5-APP-B cards are installed in an EAGLE in pairs to operate redundantly and provide high
availability service.
Although installed in an EAGLE slot in an EAGLE shelf, an E5-APP-B card does not use the IMT bus.
However, the E5-APP-B card does use power provided by the EAGLE frame. Because the E5-APP-B
card is not detected on the IMT bus, it is not calculated into the power consumption needs of the unit
with current Eagle releases; Therefore, certain power requirements apply to the E5-APP-B card. Refer
to the
Obtaining the EAGLE Power Calculator
needs with the E5-APP-B card installed. With EAGLE Release 45.0, E5-APP-B will be part of the frame
Power Calculation automatically if it is entered into the EAGLE System.
Provisioning Rules for E5-APP-B Cards
When installing an E5-APP-B card in an EAGLE shelf, take the following provisioning rules under
consideration:
E5-APP-B cards must be installed on separate power feeds within the shelf for redundancy purposes.
E5-APP-B cards must be installed in odd number slot locations (i.e., xx01, xx03, xx05, etc.).
Fan trays (890-0001-xx) are required for all EAGLE shelves that host an E5-APP-B card.
Air management cards must be placed in open full-height slots within the shelf to provide proper
air flow to the E5-APP-B cards.
E5-APP-B based Oracle Communications EAGLE LNP Application Processor (ELAP) or EAGLE
Application Processor Provisioning (EPAP) systems do not support DSM cards (870-1984-xx). DSM
cards must be replaced with Oracle Communications EAGLE Service Module (E5-SMxG) cards.
E5-APP-B Fan Alarms
E5-APP-B cards that are being deployed in a remote EAGLE shelf or in EAGLE shelf 6200 or 6300 will
have adapters and fan alarm cables installed so the application will receive Fan Alarms through the
application Graphical User Interface (GUI).
E5-APP-B cards that are deployed in EAGLE shelf 1200 through 6100 will not have fan alarm cables
and adapters. Fan alarms are displayed on the EAGLE terminal.
IMT Bus
The following IMT bus considerations apply when installing and provisioning an E5-APP-B card in
an EAGLE shelf.
E5-APP-B cards for EPAP, ELAP, or LSMS will not be on the IMT bus regardless of placement in
an existing Eagle shelf. However, they can be deployed in EAGLE shelves connected to the IMT
bus if the frame is in the EAGLE line-up.
