Important Safety Instructions

Safety Guidelines
This section contains information to help conduct a safe installation.
• Installation of the equipment to be performed by qualified personnel only.
• The equipment should be installed in a Restricted Access Area.
• Ensure that the electrical grounding is connected as detailed in the document.
• Grounding cables must be connected before connecting the power source.
• Grounding cables should be marked minimum AWG 4 (21.2 mm2) , rated at 300 V
with a 2.5m length maximum or perform a ground resistance test for 0.1 Ω.
• The DC power connection should be attached to the system first, and then attached to
the DC power source. The attachment to the power source terminals should be done
while the fuse or circuit breaker is in the “Off” position.
• All equipment should be connected directly to the DC supply grounding electrode. All
equipment in the immediate vicinity shall be grounded in the same way, and shall not
be grounded elsewhere.
• There should be no disconnecting device between the grounded circuit conductor of
the DC source (return line) and the point of connection of the grounding electrode.
• Be sure to exercise proper Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions when handling
the unit.

Electrical Safety Hazards

• The DC power (-48/60 VDC) supplied to the unit from a local power source should have
a readily accessible listed branch circuit over-current protection two pole circuit
breaker of 70A maximum in the building installation or accessible to the service
person, servicing the unit. In case of less power consumption, use 125% of the
calculated shelf power consumption, see card power consumption table in Appendix
E.
• Both power cords must be disconnected before servicing equipment.
• The DC power supply should be local; that is, it should be on the same premises as
the equipment.

Laser Safety Hazards - Exposure and Compliance

Warning: Because invisible radiation may be emitted from the aperture of the
port when no fiber optic cable is connected, avoid exposure to radiation and do not stare
into open apertures.
• The fiber optics ports must never be exposed during operation.
• Each of the ports must be connected to a fiber optic cable, terminated at the far end,
or covered with a proper protection cap supplied with the system.

ECI Telecom Ltd. Proprietary iii

960E Installation Manual

The laser equipment complies with laser product performance standards set by
government agencies for Class 1 laser products per IEC 60825-1. The product and its
accessories do not emit hazardous light and the beam is totally enclosed during all
operating modes of customer operation and maintenance.

Warning Instructions
• Never assume laser power is turned off or that the fiber is disconnected at the other
end.
• Place a protective cap over any radiating optical fiber connector.
• Avoid direct eye exposure.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

This section provides guidelines regarding the protection of SFP pluggable cards against
electrostatic damage during handling, packing/unpacking, transport, installation,
commissioning, inspections, servicing and maintenance work. The following arrangements
must be observed by persons entering and/or performing fieldwork:
• Use an ESD wrist strap connected to the ground terminal at the front side of the 960E
when handling SFPs. Failure to do so may result in electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage to electronic components.
• SFP should be placed directly into protective packaging upon removal from
equipment. A replacement SFP shall be kept in its protective packing until required for
immediate installation into equipment.
• The field service operator should insure that the materials and tools necessary to
maintain and control the temporary ESD Protected Area (EPA) are available at the
place of the field work during service time.

Symbols Used in this Manual

The following symbols are used in this manual:

 Indicates information which ensures ease of installation.

Warning: Indicates information on how to avoid personal injury.

Laser Warning: Indicates information on how to avoid personal injury. All

personnel involved in equipment installation, operation, and maintenance must be aware
that laser radiation is invisible. Therefore, although protective devices generally prevent
direct exposure to the beam, personnel must strictly observe the applicable safety
precautions and, in particular, must avoid staring into optical connectors, either directly or
using optical instruments.

Caution: Indicates information on how to avoid damage to the equipment or to

avoid possible service disruption.

960E Installation Manual

1. System Overview
1.1. Platform Description
ECI’s 960E is a fully customizable and very flexible high-bandwidth access gateway and
DSLAM. The 960E can be deployed in the central office where it can aggregate traffic
from other Hi-FOCuS shelves toward the network. It can also be deployed in the local loop
to provide services directly to subscribers. In either case, subtending and direct-to-
subscriber services can be mixed for maximum deployment flexibility.
Deliver Multiple Technologies on One Platform
ECI’s 960E delivers fully customizable and flexible high bandwidth services on one shelf.
The 960E can be populated with any combination of ADSL2+, VDSL2, GPLT or VoIP line
cards, and provides Ethernet aggregation, all with a non-blocking internal architecture to
maximize bandwidth availability. The 960E is based on tested technology that is currently
deployed in the field by First-Tier carriers servicing millions of subscribers.
Multiple Technologies-Multiple Deployments
Deployed in a Central Office (CO), the 960E serves as an infrastructure component within
the network and aggregates traffic from other subtended Hi-FOCuS shelves towards the
network. The 960E can also be deployed in Local Loop locations for direct-to-subscriber
services. In either case, the 960E can mix subtending and direct-to-subscriber services for
maximum deployment flexibility.
One of the features that significantly increases bandwidth availability is the multiple NI link
aggregation. Multiple Ethernet ports can be aggregated into a single logical group for high
bandwidth applications. Lines can be aggregated across NI cards (inter-NI) or within the
same card (intra-NI). Aggregation also occurs in the backplane between NIs and line
cards, providing both load sharing and redundancy.

1.2.3. Line Connectors

The line connectors on the Central Connecting Panel are 78 pin D-type male connectors.
There are 30 line connectors in the Central Connecting Panel arrayed in two rows labeled
A & B. Each card has one connector serving 32 lines in row A and one connector serving
32 lines in row B.

1.2.4. Power Feed Module

The 960E can operate with only one power source, and has an option for two alternate
–48/60VDC power sources, A and B. Each is redundant to the other. If one power source
fails or is not connected, the shelf can operate from a single source.

1.2.5. Alarm Connector

Eight external input alarms and three external output alarms (Major, Minor and Alarm
Cutoff) are available in the Central Connecting Panel 37 D-Type male connector. The
external alarms are intended to send status information on external events, such as
cabinet door openings, to the OPS.

1.2.6. Clock Reference Connector

The clock connector on the Central Connecting Panel is a RJ-45 female. The 960E timing
can be referenced to one of two E1 or T1 clock sources. One source is alternate to the
other. The clock sources must adhere to ITU-T G.703 standards.
Adhering to ITU-T G703, 960E also extends clock reference from a differential line driver
to other Hi-FOCuS units through CLK_OUT.

1.2.7. Management Interface

The Central Connecting Panel contains 2 Ethernet ports (A & B) for out-of-band
management.

1.2.7.1. NI Copper Connectors

option for two Central Filtering Unit cards, CFU A and CFU B. The Central Filtering Unit
cards provide filtering to the -48/60VDC power feed, supporting dual power filtering and
redundancy and can be hot extracted or inserted.
If two power sources are used, the Central Filtering Unit cards share the power load. If
one power source is missing, the Central Filtering Unit of the other power source assumes
the entire load. If one Central Filtering Unit fails, or is not installed, the other Central
Filtering Unit card assumes the entire load.

1.2.10. Fan Unit

The FAN unit contains six fans. The Fan Module can be field replaceable without affecting
traffic, if the replacement is accomplished within a few minutes.
The fans are wired in a pattern to ensure that in case of a hardware failure, no single slot
will lose cooling. In the event of a failure of any one of the fans, the remaining fans also
switch to Turbo mode to maintain cooling power.
The fan card is controlled by the NI cards. Controls include speed, start and stop. Reports
include shelf temperature and fan status.

3.4. Site Requirements

3.4.1. Rack Mounting Guidelines

The following are rack mounting guidelines for the 960E:
• The 960E is 873 mm (34.3”) height. Ensure that there is enough space above and
below for cable routing.
• Make sure that there is a minimum of 50 mm (2 in.) of clearance at the 960E's
inlet and exhaust vents.
• Maintain at least 760 mm (30 in.) of clearance at the front of the 960E for easy
insertion and removal of cards and maintenance purposes.

3.4.2. Minimum Distances between Cabinets

The 960E is air cooled by a replaceable fan tray, with air entering the system from the
bottom, left and right sides of the chassis and exiting at the top.
The 960E cooling system will not function properly if airflow is restricted, causing an over
temperature condition. Follow these guidelines to maintain a sufficient airflow:
• Allow a minimum of 5 cm (2 in.) of clearance at both the inlet and exhaust vents
on the chassis.
• Keep the site as dust-free as possible; dust particles can clog the air filter and
restrict airflow.

3.4.3. Requirements
See Appendix E for Power and Environmental Specifications.

3.5. Unpacking and Visual Inspection

3.5.1. Before you start

Before unpacking, make a preliminary inspection of the shipping boxes. Evidence of
damage should be noted and reported immediately to the carrier, the project manager,
and/or your local ECI Telecom representative.

Caution - Static sensitive devices require proper handling and grounding. 960E
equipment contains components sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To
prevent ESD damage, strictly observe all the precautions.

Keep parts and cards in their antistatic packaging material until you are ready to
install them.

The use of an antistatic wrist strap connected to a grounded equipment frame or

rack is recommended when handling cards and modules during installation,
removal, or connection to internal connectors.

B.3. Power Connection

The required Power range is –40.5VDC to –75 VDC.
As in other ECI platforms, the 960E receives power from two sources in redundant mode.
The standard power feed module for the 960E is the High-current Input Filter dual-source
power feed module supported with two Central Filtering Unit (CFU) card modules. Each
CFU card supports both power sources. Hence, there is redundancy in the power source
and in the CFU card.
The High-current Input Filter power input module and the Central Filtering Unit cards are
designed for a maximum of 2500 W.
Supplied power cable has a diameter of 4x10 AWG with a cable length of 3 meters. Open
side is Ferrule Halogen-Free (HFFR) and closed side is D-type 5W5. See "Orderable
Items" (on page 32) for part number.
