CHAPTER 2
2.1 Warning Notations
Observe all warnings in the text or on equipment labels regarding laser radiation,
high-voltage, high-temperature, weight, and others. If the following rules are not
observed, and if equipment damages or personnel injuries are the result, the
manufacturer assumes no liability, and the warranty will expire!
Mount the systems in areas with restricted access only. Only trained and qualified
personnel may install, operate, and maintain the systems.
If no date is specified, the norms mentioned in the following (EN, IEC, UL, etc.) refer to the
i latest issue of the respective norm in each case.
Additional or more specific safety remarks may also be included in the subsequent chapters
of this manual.
2.2 Mechanical Designs
2.2.1 Card Shieldings
Danger
Do not touch the contact springs of the card shieldings with your fingers or hand to avoid
! personal injury.
2.2.2 Fan Assembly
Danger
Fan assembly contains rotating devices! During the operation, make sure not to contact the
! rotaing devices with your fingers or hand to avoid personal injury.
2.2.3 Front Door of Subrack
Danger
Some of the product’s subrack is fitted with a front door. The equipment must only be
! operated with the door closed. There is danger of personal injury if the door of the subrack is
open. Observe the following procedure to avoide personal indury.
- Before working on the subrack, open the front door, raise it and then remove it.
- Once the work has been completed, refit the door belonging to this subrack and close it.
- Take extra cautions to the high-temperature components which would be exposed by
removing the front door and additional covers.

CHAPTER 2
2.3 Caution to Weight
Warning
Do not attempt to handle and install the shelves without sufficient assistance. Handling the
! equipment without sufficient assistance may result in personal injury, damage to the
equipment, or both.
The lable shown as below is attached on the subrack surface to inidicate the subrack weight
both empty and fully equipped.
2.4 Caution to Temperature
2.4.1 Device Cooling
Warning
Some of the components in the product are senstive to the heat. Observe the following
! precautions to avoid damage to the equipment from the high temperature.
- Make sure that the built-in fan assemly not be modified, and there must be sufficient air
flow.
- When replacing the fan assembly, complete the work within 20 minutes. System
operation whitout fan cooling may cause the system error.
- Fan is a consumable comoponent. Fujitsu recommend to replace the fan unit with a new
one at least every five years before it fails.
2.4.2 Air Filter
Warning
Each fan unit should be equipped with a air filter to clean the cooling air from dust particles
! and to keep the desinged effect of the fan.

CHAPTER 2
Provided that the environmental conditions (defined in ETS 300 019 class 3.1E) are fulfilled,
dry clean or replace the dust filter every three months.
In addition, pay attention to possible notes from the filter manufacturer.
2.4.3 Components Subject to High Operating Temperatures

Danger
The warning label shown below is attached to equipment components which may attain high
! operating temperatures (e. g. heat sinks). Touching these components is liable to result in
personal injury!
2.5 Grounding and Potential Balancing
In both rack and wall mounted applications, the subrack protective earthing must be assured
by connecting a protective earth (PE) cable according to your local instructions. Especially
when running a combination of different communications equipment, it is important to
establish correct grounding and potential balancing between them depending on the local
grounding measures. Observe the following procedures.
- Make sure that the PE cable be connected before any other cable connection, and
disconnected at the last.
- After mounting the systems into the rack, before attaching the connecting cables, and
before commissioning, first check the grounding and potential balancing connections to
agree with EN50310 and ETSI EN 300 253.
- The grounding must be effective as long as external cables are connected to the
equipment.
- If a subrack is not installed in a system rack you must ensure that it is properly grounded
in some other way (according to ETSI EN 300 253).

2.7 Electrostatic Sensitive Components (ESD)
Warning
Modules displaying the warning label as shown below are fitted with electrostatically-sensi-
! tive components. Observe the following precausions to avoid equipment damage from
electrostatic discharge (ESD).
- You must always wear a grounding bracelet that is connected properly when packing,
unpacking, touching, pulling, or inserting modules displaying the ESD symbol. This will
ensure these modules not to be damaged by electrostatic discharges.
- Every printed circuit board has a grounding outer edge, which is connected to the ground
terminal of the module. The board is only allowed to be touched or handled at this
grounding edge - even if you are properly grounded.
- When pulling and inserting modules, only use the integral plug and pull aids.

CHAPTER 2
- Modules which are located in a screened, unopened housing are protected at any rate
against electrostatic discharges.
The European Standards EN 61340-5-1 and -2 contain additional instructions on how to

handle electrostatically-sensitive devices properly.
2.8 Fiber-Optic Cables and Connectors
For laser safety remarks, see Chapter 2.9.
Danger
Never handle exposed fiber with your bare hands or touch it to your body. Fiber fragments
! can enter the skin and are difficult to detect and remove.
Warning
Optical connectors are precision-made components and must be handled accordingly. To
! ensure faultless functioning, the following points must be observed.
- The minimum bending radius for optical fibers is 50 mm!

- Mechanical damage to the surfaces of optical connectors impairs transmission quality by
higher attenuation. For this reason, do not expose the connectors to impact.
- Always fit optical fibre connectors with protective caps to guard them against mechanical
damage and contamination. The protective dust caps should only be removed
immediately prior to installation.
- Once the protective dust caps have been removed, you must check the surfaces of the
optical fibre connectors to ensure that they are clean, and clean them if necessary.
- Use only lint-free swabs, or ribbon cleaner specially designed for cleaning optical
connectors. Lint-free swabs should be stored in a clean container to avoid contamination
of the tip. Never use ordinary cotton swabs or tissues. Lint from these items will
contaminate the connector. Also never use alcohol. Only dry clean connectors.
2.9 Laser Radiation

Danger
Depending on the device type, the laser radiation may also be invisible for the human eye!
! Avoid direct exposure to the beam. Never look into the end of a fiber, fiber cord, fiber cable,
or fiber pigtail. Permanent eye damage or blindness can occur quickly when laser radiation is
present. The label shown below is attached to the equipment as a reminder. Use of controls,
adjustments, or procedures other than those specified may result in hazardous laser
radiation exposure from a fiber pigtail.

CHAPTER 2
Devices and modules displaying either of the following warning labels contain laser devices.
Warning Label
according to EN 60825-1 / IEC 60825-1.
Warning Label
for laser equipment as per EN 60825-1 / IEC 60825-1.
LASER CLASS 1
When operated in a closed system, the laser equipment of the device conforms to class 1
safety level.
Nevertheless, in view of possible malfunctions, transmission systems which are fitted with
optical fibre amplifier modules are classified as hazard level 1M. This hazard level is also
applicable if the device is opened.
This hazard level is labelled as follows:

Warning Label
according to EN 60825-2:2004 /
IEC60825-2:2004.
To ensure safe operation of the entire optical path, the laser safety shutdown must be
activated. See Chapter 2.10 for details.
Danger
To avoid damage to health, observe the following precausions.
!
- Commissioning should be performed with fuse protection in the closed system.
- Observe the regulations regarding protection against radiation from laser devices (EN
60825-1/ IEC 60825-1).
- If it cannot be avoided in an exceptional case to apply the hazard level 1M regulations
(see above), you always must use dedicated laser-protective goggles.
2.10 Laser Safety Circuit

Danger
To ensure safe operation of the entire optical path, the laser safety shutdown must be
! activated.
Under normal operating conditions, the maximum transmit levels of the optical interface units
stay below the limit values defined in EN 60825-1 / IEC 60825-1, Laser Class 1.

CHAPTER 2
However, all optical transmitters (except at the Ethernet interfaces) are fitted with automatic
laser shutdown circuits to safeguard against any possible hazard. This shutdown circuit can
be configured and is active in the basic state. It trips, if no input signal is received by the
optical receiver, i.e. if there is a break in the link. This prevents any uncontrolled laser
emission if a fibre-optic connector is faulty or not connected.
Even with this safeguard, fibre-optic cables which are open at one end should always be
considered to be “live”.
In case of doubt always use dedicated laser-protective goggles!
2.11 Handling Batteries
Danger
Some equipment may contain accumulators or batteries of different technologies. e. g.
! lithium batteries or others. Observe the following international standards, if applicable:
- IEC 60130-17 (device interconnections)
- IEC 61429 (recycling symbol)
- IEC 61438 (safety and health hazards)
- IEC 60086-4 (handling lithium batteries)
Danger
There is risk of explosion if the battery is not replaced correctly! Observe the following
! precautions.
- Accumulators or batteries which are integrated in the device should only be replaced by
the equipment manufacturer.
- If replacement is necessary, do not remove the accumulator or the battery from the
device, but send in the complete device / the module (card) or the removable battery
pack.
Danger
Also follows the precations below to avoide damage to personal injury or damage to the
! equipment, or both:
- Pay attention to error messages referring to the accumulator or the battery.
- Never short circuit batteries directly without using a discharging resistor! Without a
resistor very high current will flow causing a risk of explosion!
Caution
In order to prevent loss of data, the battery should only be replaced by the equipment
! manufacturer.
2.12 Emergency Switching Off
Danger
Especially if smoke or fire escapes from the device (or in other emergency situations), switch
! OFF the device immediately - by all relevant circuit breakers in the connector panel of the
rack.

CHAPTER 2
If possible, first switch OFF the protection power supply and then the working power supply.
After the emergency shutdown, and if it is possible without danger, check if the device is
dead - either by using a measuring device or by the LED display of the device, if applicable.
This symbol identifies notes which, if ignored, can result in damage to the equipment.
Caution
Consider that an emergency shutdown can disconnect important communication lines which
! may be required just in the case of emergency. For this reason, shut down the device only if
it is inevitable. Otherwise perform the normal switch-off procedure.

Before replacing a module which is suspected of being defective, try to reactivate the system
by means of a hardware reset (e. g. pulling and re-inserting the module), but do not do this if
the red fault LED on the module is illuminated.
The following cautions must be adhered to when removing and inserting any cards.

CHAPTER 3
Troubleshooting
Warning When replacing modules, you must comply with the safety regulations, as described in
! CHAPTER 2.
Warning
During installation, seat all cards with a slow, but firm motion. Do not push them quickly into
! the slot. A slow insertion method ensures that cards are not damaged.
Caution Running system without CC (Cross-Connect) card is abnormal operation, which should be
prohibited. Please make sure that the CC module has been mounted properly before power
! on the System.
Caution When replacing an optical interface module, it is essential to check and record the optical
! transmitting power, using an optical power meter, before the modules are returned to service.
The module setup procedure can only commence once the module has been correctly
i inserted into the slot, as far as the stop, and then locked. After a module has been replaced
the module status must be checked using the FLEXR L or FLEXR C.
Follow the steps below to remove and insert a card:
1. Locate the card to be replaced and gently remove it out of the slot of the subrack.
2. Set aside the removed unit for repair return.
3. Carefully install the replacement card into the proper slot at right angles to the front
panel of the subrack.
4. Check the module status is normal with the LEDs on the faceplate and the craft local
terminal FLEXR L.
5. If applicable, check and record the optical or the electrical interface specifications using
appropriate measuring equipment before the cards are returned to service.
3.3.3 SC Card Repair and Replacement
The SC card of FLASHWAVE 4470 works well in normal condition, if it has to be replaced for
some reason, the following procedures should be followed to avoid traffic hit.
Preparation:

3.3.4 CC Card Replacement
The CC card for FLASHWAVE 4470 3.3 is equipped with two latches, one latch is on the top
and the other is in the bottom. Attached to the top latch, a small article called “latch switch”
are used to fasten CC1+1 switch time.

CHAPTER 3
Troubleshooting
When the CC board is pulled in the slot, the latch switch is in the close status. If you plug out
the CC during the operation, the status of latch switch will be changed from close to open.
Consequently, SW will detect the latch open signal and switch traffic accordingly.
Caution
If the CC is pulled out too quickly, it does not give to the system software the enough time to
! detect the latch open and process it. If the active CC was already removed, it may cause the
switching time take longer than 50ms.
In order to avoid the above situation, please follow the below steps when you replace the CC
card:
1. Depress the red latch; you will hear a clear “click” sound indicating the latch switch is
in open. The board is still in slot and not removed actually.
2. After the “click” sound, wait 1s to guarantee the CC is fully switched.
3. Push handles outward from board and remove the card smoothly.
