Safety recommendations
This section lists the safety recommendations that needs to be followed for safe operation of the network element.
3.3.1
17
Keep tools away from walk area where you and others could fall over them. Do not wear loose clothing that could get caught in the chassis. Fasten your tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves. Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that might hazardous to your eyes. Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or make the equipment unsafe.
3.3.2
Follow the listed guidelines while working on equipment powered by electricity: 1. Locate the emergency power-off switch for the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can act quickly to turn off the power. 2. Disconnect all power by turning off the power and unplugging the power cord before: Installing or removing a chassis Working near power supplies 3. Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist. 4. Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit, always check the circuit. 5. Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as cords, and missing safety grounds. 6. If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows: Use caution; do not become a victim yourself. Turn off power to the system. If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, assess the condition of the victim and then call for help. Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions, then take appropriate action.
3.3.3
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. The following guidelines provide optimal electrostatic discharge protection: Always follow ESD-prevention when removing and replacing components. Ensure that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground.
18
TJ1270
Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground ESD voltages. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis. For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 mega ohms (Mohms).
3.4
This section describes the requirements your site must meet for safe installation and operation of your system. Before installation, verify the site for readiness as per the site verification checklist. The site verification checklist is given in Section 14.1 of Recording Data and Test Results.
3.4.1
Site environment
Networking equipment can be mounted in a rack. The location of the equipment, the layout of your equipment rack including wiring room are extremely important for proper system operation. Equipment placed closer inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause system malfunctions and shutdowns, which results in system maintenance. While planning your site layout and equipment locations, consider the precautions described in the section "Preventive Site Configuration" that follows to help avoid equipment failures and reduce the possibility of environmentally caused shutdowns. If you are currently experiencing shutdowns or unusually high errors with your existing equipment, these precautions may help you isolate the cause of failures and prevent future problems.
3.4.2
The following precautions will helps you plan an acceptable operating environment for your equipment and will help you avoids environmentally caused equipment failures: Electrical equipment generates heat. therefore ambient air temperature might not be adequate to cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Ensure that the room in which you operate your system has adequate air circulation. Always follow the ESD prevention procedures described previously to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure. Ensure that the chassis cover is secure to allow cooling air to flow effectively within it. An open chassis allows air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air from internal components.
19
Risk of damage to the equipment Proper hydraulic/pneumatic material handling equipment must be used for mounting the equipment. If the network element is heavy and the hydraulic equipment is not available then ensure that atleast two installers are at the installation site.
3.4.3
The following tips helps you plan an acceptable equipment rack configuration:
3.4.4
Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving continuous power (free of spikes and noise). if necessary, Install a power conditioner. DC power supplies operate at a range of -40 volts DC to -60 volts DC.
3.4.5
Safety standards
All the Tejas network elements conform to all relevant safety standards. The network element complies with the following safety standards: IEC/EN 60950-1:2001 and UL 60950Information technology equipment Safety, Part 1: General requirements. IEC 60825-1:2001 and IEC 60825-2:2004 Safety of Laser Products
20
TJ1270
3.5
All the Tejas optical products use laser sources that emit light energy into optical fibers. This energy is within the red (visible) and infrared (not visible) areas of the electromagnetic spectrum.
3.5.1
Optical fibers are either single mode or multiple mode. The information in the following paragraphs applies to all optical fibers.
3.5.2
While handling optical fibers, you must take the following precautions:
Risk of laser radiation exposure Do not look directly into the optical beam. Invisible light can severely damage your eyes. Keep all optical connectors capped.
Wear safety glasses when you install optical fibers. Do not look into the opening of an optical fiber, or the opening of an optical fiber connector, if the optical fiber is active or the unit has the power turned on. Avoid direct exposure to optical fiber ends or optical connector ends where you can access the laser signal directly.
3.5.3
While you splice optical fibers, you must take the following precautions:
Risk of eye injury If you have a piece of a glass in your eye, get medical assistance immediately.
1 2 3
Clean your hands after you handle optical fibers. Small pieces of glass are not always visible and can damage your eyes. Do not handle pieces of optical fiber with your fingers. Use tweezers (preferably non metallic) or adhesive tape to lift and discard any loose optical fiber ends. Wear rubber gloves when you clean optical connectors. The gloves prevent direct contact with the isopropyl alcohol and prevent contamination of the ferrules with skin oils.
21
4 5 6 7
Place all optical fiber clippings in a plastic container provided for that purpose. Handle optical fibers with caution. Place the optical fibers in a safe location during installation. Protect all optical fiber connectors with clean dust caps at all times. Follow the manufacturer instructions when you use an optical test set. Incorrect calibration or control settings can create hazardous levels of radiation.
3.5.4
When you look at a spliced optical fiber with a small magnifier, take the following precautions:
3.5.5
3.5.6
Risk of personal injury, energy hazard The battery feeds are capable of supplying very high current which, during an un intentional short, can cause burns. Read and understand the power procedures you are performing. Take necessary precautions and use the appropriate insulated tools when working with power.
22
TJ1270
When you install power feeds to the product input terminals or if you perform routine power maintenance, make sure that you do the following: Read the power procedures before you perform any function. Take the necessary precautions and use the appropriate insulated tools to perform any tasks. The green LED continuously lit at the faceplate on the base card indicating that the card is functioning correctly and is powered up. If the green LED on the base card is on, the power at the associated feeder is present and the conditions can be assumed to be normal. If the green LED on the base card is not on,then there is possible causes, which are not limited to: damaged or non functional power supply unit damaged or non functional base card feeder low voltage or power failure an over-current failure A reverse polarity condition at the input terminals has caused a fuse in the power supply unit to blow The circuit breaker on the power supply unit is an electronic circuit breaker that cuts off the power to the card on over-current condition.
3.5.7
The level of static electricity increases in your body when you move around or come into contact with other charged surfaces. Excessive levels of static electricity can damage equipment. You must either wear a properly functioning heel grounder (that attaches to your leg and foot) and/or an antistatic wrist-strap, or another grounding device when you work on any of the following: Network element chassis (including the metal frame and cover) Cables connected to cards Cards
23
Heel grounders or similar worn footwear attachments work when the floor is designed to dissipate static electricity. Also check for the ESD foot wear attachment connectivity to ground using suitable ESD tester. If the properties of the floor are unknown or in doubt, use a wrist-strap and make sure it is connected to a piece of electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding equipment before proceeding with any maintenance or installation activity Any one of the previously mentioned grounding devices dissipate electrostatic charges to the ground quickly and safely. Use grounding devices correctly to eliminate the ESD threat you pose to the equipment. When you wear an antistatic wrist-strap or a heel grounder, you must make sure the grounding straps are in contact with a moist part of your skin. Connect the grounding cord to the grounding plug on a grounded fixture of the product you are working on, such as the shelf ESD jack, grounded fixtures are accessible on most of the products. The following guidelines provide an optimal electrostatic discharge protection: Install bays on conductive floor coverings. Provide conductive shoes, antistatic wrist-straps and heel grounders to all personnel working on the equipment. Maintain local environmental conditions so that relative humidity around equipment to be serviced is in excess of 20% (preferably higher than 40%). This lowers the threat of developing damaging electrostatic levels. You can implement an ESD training and control program that educates personnel on the hazards of ESD and simple mitigation procedures that can easily be applied.
3.6
In this section, the generic term card is used to refer to cards or pluggable modules as applicable. All cards are subject to damage by rough handling or by electrostatic discharges. Review the following sections for more information on how to prevent damage to cards. Tejas Networks ships cards separately from the network element shelf, then these cards can come in shielded containers marked with the following symbol.
ATTENTION: Follow precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices.
24
TJ1270
3.6.1
While you handle, install, store or replace cards, you must take the following precautions:
3.6.2
When you transport cards, pack each module in its original shielded container and padding, or in an electro statically shielded bag. If you lose the original material, place the module in a shielded bag and use another container with sufficient padding.
25
3.7
The maximum operational long-term ambient temperature of the system location is 40C. A temperature above 40C is permissible (according to ETSI EN 300 019-1-3 V2.1.2 Edition 200304 for Environmental Class 3.1: Temperature controlled locations and ETSI EN 300 019-2-3 V2.1.2 for Environmental Class T3.1 and T3.1E: Temperature controlled locations) provided the probability of occurrence is less than 1%.

5. Common Procedures
This chapter describes how to clean fiber-optic connectors. Tejas Networks recommends that you always clean fiber-optic connectors before connecting to transmission equipment, test equipment, patch panels, or other connectors.
5.1
It is important to keep all interconnects as clean as possible. Leave the protective dust covers on the connectors when they are not in use. Since the single-mode fiber has a light-carrying core with diameter less than 10 micro meters, even a single microscopic speck of dust on the connector end can significantly attenuate the light traveling through the fiber. Accurate and repeatable measurements require clean connections.
5.1.1
Precautions
Risk of performance degradation and damage of optical fiber Improper cleaning may result in high attenuation due to dirt or dust or may cause mechanical damage to the fiber end, resulting in performance degradation. While handling an optical fiber, take care not to exceed the minimum bed radius, 35mm, Do not over tighten the cable tie wraps while dressing the cable.
Risk of personal injury Do not look into the end of fiber-optic connectors or into faceplate connectors of installed circuit packs. The light source used in fiber-optic devices can damage your eyes.
Observe the following guidelines to achieve the best performance: Visually inspect fiber ends for signs of damage. Use dry connections whenever possible. Keep connectors covered when not in use. Follow the cleaning procedure, refer to procedure "Cleaning Fiber Connector Page No. 31".
29
5.1.2
Required tools
99% isopropyl or ethyl alcohol Lint-free, non abrasive optical-quality cleaning pads or lens tissue, or cotton or urethane-foam swabs. Pressurized dry-air duster. Optical fiber scope.

- If the connector is clean, cover the connector with a protective dust cover until ready to use it. - If the connector is not completely clean, continue with steps 6 through 14 to clean it with alcohol. 6 7 8 Apply 99% isopropyl or ethyl alcohol to a lint-free, non-abrasive cleaning pad or lens tissue. Clean the ferrules and other parts of the connector. After you finish, discard the used pad or tissue. Apply alcohol to a new, lint-free cleaning pad, lens tissue, or swab.
31
Clean the fiber end with a new lint-free cleaning pad, lens tissue, or swab. Move the cleaning pad back and forth across the fiber end several times. If you are using a swab, then gently rotate the swab as you wipe across the end face.
10 Immediately dry the fiber ends with a clean, dry, lint-free cleaning pad or lens tissue. 11 Discard the used cleaning materials. 12 Aim a filtered, dry compressed-air dust remover at a shallow angle to the fiber end face and blow across the end face from a distance of 150-200mm. 13 Inspect the fiber-optic connector with an optical fiber scope to verify whether it is free of dirt and dust. 14 Cover the connector with a protective dust cover until ready to use it.
5.4
These procedures detail the insertion and ejection of the cards and fan tray in a TJ1270 network element. The cards are provided with ejectors that aid in their insertion and ejection from the chassis.
Static sensitive devices Static electricity can damage the equipment. While unpacking and handling cards, or making network element interconnections, wear a grounding wrist strap to discharge the static buildup.
