2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Introduction
The TM-3000 chassis is the largest chassis alternative in the TM-Series. The TM-3000
chassis has a generic backplane giving a high level of flexibility. As an example, all slots
can be used for full-height plug-in units (Transponders, MDU’s, amplifiers etc) or for a mix
of full-height and half-height plug-in units.
The generic backplane enables a TM-3000 chassis to be configured as a multi-purpose

Network Element (NE). As an example, a TM-3000 chassis can contain a DWDM Terminal
Multiplexer, a DWDM line amplifier and a CWDM add/drop node. The node manager will
support any combination of plug-in units and NE types.
A Control Unit (CU) is always placed in the first slot. The CU gives an aggregated
management view of the chassis. Multiple TM-3000 chassis can be connected in a master-
slave configuration to provide a larger Network Element (NE).
The R3-version (and later) of the TM-3000 chassis has a flexible mechanical solution for
the shelf that supports passive, half-height units. The standard length is 1 slot. Delivered
with every chassis there will be a kit enabling the shelf to be extended to 2, 3, 4 or 5 slot
lengths. So each chassis can easily be configured at the site.
The selection of primary power, mounting alternative and CU type is straightforward. The
selection of shelf length for passive units will require some analysis since it depends on
what type of Network Element (NE) that is to be created and what units that are to be
mounted into the card cage. See chapter 7 for more details.
Multiple chassis can be connected in a master-slave configuration to create larger NE’s.

For memory and capacity reasons a CU-SFP must be used as a “master CU” when the
number of connected chassis exceeds 2. The slave chassis can use a Control Unit of old
type (CU).
See “Dimensioning Guidelines” within the System Manual for more details on restrictions.
For details on installation procedure, see “TM-3000 Installation Guide” within the
Installation & Commissioning volume of the TM-Series System manual.

2.2 Basic configurations

A Basic TM-3000 NE Equipment include
• Control Unit (CU-SFP)
• Pre-mounted shelf of one slot length (supporting 2 half-height units)
• Shelf-kit enabling extension of length to 5 slots (supporting 10 half-height units)
• Dummy panels and air-stoppers
• Plastic cover
• Dual Fan units
• Dual DC/DC converters with DC cables
• Ethernet cable, DSUB/RJ45 converter, ESD wrist wrap
The mounting option adds on

• Mounting brackets 19”, ETSI or 23” with screws and nuts
The AC power option adds on

• Separate rack mounted AC/DC converter
For configurations where OSC channels are needed, the required amount of SFP’s must
be added separately. See “Dimensioning Guidelines” within System Manual for more
details.
Up to 6 TM-3000 chassis can be connected to create a singular NE from management

perspective (i.e. one IP-address).

2.3 TM-3000 chassis

The TM-3000 chassis can be divided into three parts:
• Fan area
• Card cage
• Power and external interfaces
Figure 1: The three main parts of a TM-3000 chassis
The Fan and Power and external interface areas are covered with plates that are screwed
to the mechanics via thumbscrews that are easy to loosen. The cover plates can be flipped
open via the hinges for easy access to e.g. fan units.
Different mounting brackets are used when mounting the TM-3000 into an ETSI, 19” or a
23” rack.
A number of TM-3000 chassis can be connected to form a one-entity NE from

management perspective. See “Dimensioning Guidelines” within the System Manual for
restrictions on number of chassis and other restrictions.

2.3.1 Fan units
Figure 2: A DC power configured TM-3000 subrack without cover plates
Under the upper cover plate, two fan unit modules are placed. These can easily be
extracted and replaced by pulling the module outwards.
Figure 3: FAN unit with LED indicators
If one FAN module fails the corresponding red LED on the cover panel will ignite and an
alarm will be generated to the Control Unit. The other FAN unit will compensate for the loss
by increasing the speed of the fan. A hot-swap of the failed unit can be done.
The fans will increase their speed with temperature.

© Transmode 2009-12-21 TD-TM3000 Y 8 (46)
Figure 4: Airflow through a TM-3000 chassis
The cooling air is taken in from the lower front, spread via a mechanical air filter to ensure
an even distribution of air to all boards in the card cage. The air is taken out on the back via
the angled outlet. See Figure 4. Two TM-3000 chassis can thus be mounted back-to-back
in a rack without affecting the airflow.
Temperature sensors on all units continuously measure the board temperature and a
threshold is used to generate an alarm if the temperature exceeds the preset value. This
alarm can be used is an indication that the air filter needs to be cleaned.
For slots without any plug-in boards an “air stopper” must be inserted to maintain proper
airflow. Missing “air stoppers” will render the air to flow through unused slots and thus
reduce the cooling effect. Air stoppers are placed in all fill-height slots at delivery and must
be removed when a board is to be inserted.
It is also imperative to cover unused slots with a cover panel to maintain proper air flow.
Note! The R4-version of the TM-3000 chassis has a different type of fan module. The R4
fan module (FAN3A/M3000) contains three fan units. See chapter 4.4 for more details on
the R4 version
The following compatibility restrictions exist:
• Fan modules used in TM-3000 chassis R3 (or older) can be used in new R4.
• Fan modules of R4A can not be used in R3A (or older).

© Transmode 2009-12-21 TD-TM3000 Y 9 (46)
2.3.2 Air filter
An air filter is placed under the card cage. This filter should be extracted and cleaned every
second year under normal conditions. See System Manual “Installation & Commissioning”
for more details.
Note! The R4-version of the TM-3000 chassis has a different type of air filter solution. The
R4 air filters cover half the card cage. R3 (and earlier) filters are a singular solution
expanding over the whole card cage. With the R4 solution it will no longer be required to
remove the lower fiber management mechanics when extracting the air filters. See chapter
4.4 for more details on the R4 version.
2.3.3 Primary power alternatives
2.3.3.1 DC-power
For direct -48V DC powering, two DC power inlet modules are inserted in the two mid slots.
The two modules are used to enable A & B power configurations.
2-wire and 3-wire configurations are possible.
Figure 5: DC power configuration
The DC power inlet module (see Figure 5) has a green LED indicator to indicate a
functioning unit. The LED’s can be seen also when the cover panel is in place. Upon
failure, the green LED will be turned off and an alarm will be generated to the management
system. A hot-swap replacement of the failed module can be done. The right module
variant will eventually be phased out and be replaced by the left variant.
A red LED to indicate polarity error, i.e. the – 48 voltage has been wrongly connected. This
is only a visual indication and will not generate any alarm to the management system.
In release 13.0 (June 2009) an updated version of the DC/DC module is introduced.
The R-stage is stepped from R1E to R1F. The R1F version has a higher efficiency (i.e.
lower power consumption), a DC soft start functionality to avoid rush currents and start-up
and improved current spike tolerance. The R1F will be fully introduced during 2009.

2.3.3.2 AC-power
Figure 6: External rack mounted AC/DC unit.
The basic configuration is always for dual DC powering. AC powering requires a separate
1U rack mounted AC/DC converter shown in the figure.
The AC version of the TM-3000 chassis is delivered with rack mounted AC/DC supply
having item code AC-DC-1RU-1250.
Any 3rd party AC/DC converter that provides DC power according to the specification can
be used. Ensure that a fuse panel is inserted having a 15A limit on the DC supply.

2.3.4 External interfaces
To the far left a LAN module is situated for electrical connections.
Figure 7: LAN module
Six RJ-45 connector types are available for the following applications:
• RP IN – Remote Protection, future usage.
• RP OUT – Remote Protection, future usage
• FU – Future Use
• DCN 1 – Management interface to the Network

Element. A LAN-connection via Ethernet
interface (10Mb/s or 100Mb/s) that can be
connected directly to a network manager TNM
or via a DCN network.
• ICN 3 – Internal Communication Network,

used when connecting multiple TM-3000
platforms to create a larger NE. See Figure 8.
• ICN 4 – Internal Communication Network,

used when connecting multiple TM-3000
platforms to create a larger NE.
Note the connection in-between TM-3000 no 1

and no 3. This connection can be added to
form a “ring interconnection” providing a
redundant connectivity.
Figure 8: Stacked TM-3000 chassis

using ICN 3 & ICN 4 connections
The electrical Ethernet interfaces can be connected to its interfacing equipment with an
Ethernet cable and is suitable for connection to intra-building wiring only. The maximum
allowed physical length of the cable is 100 m, provided that a Cat 5e class shielded cable
is used and the shield is grounded at both ends. Unshielded cable usage is not warranted
by Transmode and such usage is discouraged.

2.3.5 Card Cage
Figure 9: The Card cage area
The card cage has 17 slots for plug-in units. The far left slot is dedicated for a Control Unit.
The card guide is coded via a yellow color.
The following eleven slots (slot 2 – 12) can be equipped with any type of full-height traffic
units due to the generic back plane. The last five slots (13 – 17) can either be used for full-
height or half-height units. The half-height units require a small shelf to support the smaller
board sizes. This is a modular shelf and the number of half-height units is given by the
length of the shelf. In Figure 9 a shelf with a length allowing for four upper and four lower
half-height slots are shown. Additional slots (18-22) are thus available when using the half-
height configuration.
With the R3 version (and later) the shelf length can be changed from 1 to 5 via access
within the card cage. A screw must be accessed from the outside to remove the last shelf
module if all slots are to be used for full-height units.
It is thus possible to customize a TM-3000 chassis to a configuration between 17 full-height

units, or 12 full-height and 10 half-height units. Note that the total power consumption must
not exceed the maximum allowed (600W). See also chapter 3
Full-height units are normally active traffic devices (e.g. Transponder). Half-height units are
normally passive optical devices (e.g. add/drop filters).
When a unit is inserted into a card slot, the slot position is detected by the unit and
forwarded to the Control Unit. This includes also the passive units.
The slot numbers are indicated just above the card cage area.
The slot for a CU is 20mm x 262mm, Traffic Unit slot is 25mm x 262mm and the passive
half-height slots are 25mm x 129mm.

2.3.6 Chassis identity
Each chassis within a NE must have a unique ID number. The chassis identity is set by a
DIP-switch that is located on the backside of the lid that covers the fan unit area. By
releasing the thumbscrews and flipping the cover downwards, the backside of the circuit
board with the LED indicators for the fan units is revealed.
See Figure 10.
Figure 10: DIP switch for subrack ID
The procedure is described in the “Installation & Commissioning” Volume of the System
Manual.
2.3.7 Sys mode
The second part of the DIP switch is used to set the NE into a mode where a replacement
CU can inherit the previous CU configuration. The procedure is described in the
“Installation & Commissioning” Volume of the System Manual.

2.3.8 Fiber management
To ease patch cord management, a

mechanical guide is placed under the card
cage (see Figure 11). This guide will
ensure that the patch cords are evenly
distributed into the fiber management area.
The R4 revision of the TM-3000 chassis has

mechanical guides also on the upper part of
the card cage.
See chapter 4.4 for more details on

the R4 version.
Figure 11: Fiber management
Fiber management mechanics
Figure 12: TM-3000 R4 version
Additional fiber management mechanics are provided on the 40ch MDU’s (MDU40/50G-
EVEN and MDU40/50G-ODD) of revision C and later. A separate cover plate can be added
to the right of these MDU units to further support fiber management to/from the 40ch MDU
units. See Technical Description for these MDU units for more details.

Figure 13: Example node with 40ch MDU
The figure shows an example node with a 40ch MDU with the separate fiber management
panel. The MDU40 has 24 internal line connections and the remaining 16 are connected to
a second chassis. The card cage is covered with the plastic cover (described in chapter
4.3)

© Transmode 2009-12-21 TD-TM3000 Y 16 (46)
3 CONFIGURATION GUIDELINES
The maximum number of traffic units that can be inserted into the card cage is limited by
the total power consumption that can be handled within the card cage.
The max power consumption of a fully equipped TM-3000 is 600W in DC configuration,

including fans, primary power etc. With a fuse limit of 15A and worst case primary power
supply voltage this sets the max power consumption within the card cage to ~420W.
See chapter 7 for example configurations. See “Dimensioning Guide Lines” within the
System Manual for data on power consumption.
The card cage has three card slot categories; CU-slot, Active slots and passive slots.
Slot 1: Dedicated for a Control Unit (CU, CU OSC or CU-SFP)
Slot 2-17: Slots 2-12 are for active, full-height units. Slots 13-17 can also be used for full-
height active units given that the supporting shelf is removed/reduced. In later releases,
active half-height units shall be placed in slots 13-17.
Slot 13-17: Slots 13-17 shall be used for passive, full-height units. This requires that the
supporting shelf is removed/reduced. These slots can also be used for half-height, passive
units with the supporting shelf in place.
Slot 13-22: These slots are only for half-height, passive units (given that the supporting
shelf is mounted).
The tables in chapter 3.1 specify where the different plug-in units shall/can be placed.

© Transmode 2009-12-21 TD-TM3000 Y 17 (46)
Note that the full-height 8ch MDU units (MDU-E, MDU-T, MDU-E/EVEN-C, MDU-T/ODD-C,
MDU8EExxx-yyy and MDU8EOzzzz-wwww) must be inserted in slots 13-17 to make them
visible from management perspective. The MDU units will still function properly using slots
2-12, but the Node Manager TM-ENM will not detect them as present in the system.
Note that the VOA-8CH unit is regarded as a passive unit and must be inserted in slots
13-17. VOA-8CH/II can be placed in any active slot (see Technical Description).
The 40ch MDU’s occupy 3 slots and will need a lot of patch cords towards
Transponders/Muxponders. It is recommended to place a 40ch MDU in the center of the
card cage to ease the fiber management.

3.1 Plug-in unit data & chassis compatibility

The below tables lists all plug-in units available at release 14.0 and what chassis that
supports them. TM-101/-102 support can be release dependent!
For each plug-in unit a “Type” parameters is defined;

“Type” has four parameters;
“A” = Active unit, i.e. must be inserted in an active slot
“P” = Passive unit, i.e. must be inserted in an active slot
“FH” = Full-height unit, i.e. occupies a full-height slot
“HH” = Half-height unit, i.e. occupies a half-height slot
Every unit is a combination of Active/Passive and Full-height/Half-height.
As an example: The TPQMR has the type “A/FH” meaning that the unit shall be inserted in
an active, full-height slot.

4 REVISION UPDATES
4.1 R1C updates
Figure 14: Inlet holes for primary power cables and optical patch cords
In A5.0 some enhancements are introduced to ease connection of primary power cables as
well as optical patch cords to/from the chassis. These openings are introduced on both
sides of the chassis. The R-state is stepped to R1C.

© Transmode 2009-12-21 TD-TM3000 Y 22 (46)
4.2 R2A update

The R2A revision has passed through NEBS testing for the US market. Some mechanical
solutions have changed as a result, but functionality wise there is no change. All delivered
chassis are R2A regardless of market.
4.3 R3A updates

In January 2007 a new mechanical solution for the half-height unit supporting shelf is
introduced.
When delivered, the TM-3000 chassis will have a shelf length of 1, i.e. supporting 2 half-
height units.
Figure 15: Standard configuration; shelf length 1
Included in the package there will be a kit of shelf modules having a length of 1, 2, 3, and
4. These modules are to be attached in selectable combination to for a shelf with a length
from 1 to 5. This can be done via access from the card cage, i.e. there is no need to
access a screw from outside the card cage. This will ease in-service reconfiguration of the
chassis since the outside screw in most cases is hard to access.
Screws and other mounting material are shipped together with the shelf modules as well as
plastic guides for the boards.

© Transmode 2009-12-21 TD-TM3000 Y 23 (46)
A new plastic cover for the card cage is also added.
This cover is deep enough to be used for equipped configurations, i.e. it has space enough
for the patch cords so that these are not squeezed in a way that can introduce micro bends
resulting in optical losses.
The cover can be flipped open as shown in the figure. It will stay in the open position via
tabs that rest on the card cage frame.
When closing the cover it is important to press in the tabs before closing the cover. If not,
the tabs will eventually be damaged and the cover will no longer stay in the open position.
The cover can easily be remove completely and reinserted.

© Transmode 2009-12-21 TD-TM3000 Y 24 (46)
4.4 R4 updates
The following improvements/changes are introduced on the R4 version:
• New fan module: Current fan module contains one fan unit. The new fan module will
include three fan units. The new fan module will provide the following benefits:
- improved air flow
- to maintain high air flow upon a fan unit failure
- to enable -60V DC primary power supply solutions (future)
- reduced noise level
- reduced weight from 2kg to 0,9 kg per fan module
- reduced power consumption from ~48W to ~17W per fan module.
• Introduction of fiber management solution on the upper part of the card cage to ease
placement/routing of optical patch cords in high channel configurations.
• Introduction of a new air filters to ease replacement. The new filters cover half the card
cage. Current filter is a singular solution expanding over the whole card cage. The new
solution will no longer be required to remove lower fiber management mechanics when
extracting the air filters.
• Adjusted and improved solution for fiber management beneath the card cage.
The following compatibility restrictions exist:
• Existing fan modules used in TM-3000 chassis R3A (or older) can be used in new R4A.
• New fan modules of R4A cannot be used in R3A (or older).
• Existing air filters used in TM-3000 chassis R3A (or older) cannot be used in new R4A.
• New air filters of R4A cannot be used in R3A or older.
To conclude; R3A and older versions must continue to use existing fan modules and air
filters. These will continue to be available as spare parts until further notice.
There are no compatibility restrictions in terms of active or passive plug-in units.

4.5 Board Extraction tool

A special board extractor is introduced in March 2009 to ease extraction of full-sized
boards.

7 APPENDIX
7.1 TM-3000 Configurations

The TM-3000 chassis can be ordered with different number of half-height slots. This is
defined by a shelf length that provides mechanical support for two half-height units in a full-
height slot.
Up to 10 half-height slots can be created using a shelf length of 5.
The first full-height slot is for CU only.
The following recommendations can be stated:
• Configurations for up to 40 DWDM channels will typically require a half-size slot length
1, giving two half-sized slots.
• 80ch configurations will typically require a shelf length of 2, giving four half-sized slots.
• Mixed CWDM/DWDM configurations or configurations with equipment protection will

require more half-sized slots.
The actual relationship between full-sized and half-sized slots is thus dependent on the
actual node configuration.
The total power consumption within the card cage must be less than ~420W. For high
power consuming units, this will set a restriction on how many units you can insert in a card
cage.

7.2 32ch 100GHz 10G System, example 1

Configuration:
• Up to 32 DWDM channels (100GHz configuration)

• Up to 8 channels per TM-3000
• TP10G-CLX/zzzzz Transponders used (i.e. one wavelength channel per slot)
• Pre-amplifier and Power amplifier
• 8ch MDU’s with VOA-8CH/II with Optical Monitoring Unit (OCM/2P)
• OSC channels to provide management access to intermediate line amplifier sites
Recommendation; Minimize the number of connections in-between chassis

• Gather Traffic units and corresponding MDU’s and VOA’s within same card cage.
• Traffic from additional TM-3000 chassis is added via the extension port of MDU and to
the OIU.

7.4 32ch 100GHz 2.5G System example

This example uses only the TPQMR giving 4 channels per slot, i.e. the unit with the highest
wavelength density. Since max 2x VOA and 2x MDU’s can be mounted in a TM-3000
chassis there will be five unused traffic slots.
Configuration:
• TPQMR Transponders used (i.e. four wavelength channels per slot)
• 8ch MDU’s with VOA’s
• Intermediate line amplifier sites requires OSC channel

highest wavelength density. Since no VOA’s are needed all 32 channels can be
implemented within the same card cage.

7.6 40ch 50GHz 10G System

This example uses TPD10GBE-BU with 2 channels per slot. The system is not
upgradeable to 80ch since no optical interleavers are used. See the 80ch example in next
chapter for how this is done.
Configuration:
• TPD10GBE-BU Transponders used (i.e. two wavelength channels per slot)
• 40ch MDU
• Intermediate line amplifier sites requires OSC channel

The first chassis contains all line related units, i.e. amplifiers, MDU, OIU and OSC filter.
The remaining slots are used for Transponders.
Note the placement of the 40ch MDU, It is placed in the center of the card cage to ease
fiber management.
In total 3 chassis are required for this 40ch configuration.

The second chassis are used for Transponders only. Note that all slots cannot be used for
Transponders since the power consumption exceed the limit of ~420W. The remaining
units are thus distributed between chassis 2 and chassis 3.

7.7 80ch 50GHz 10G System

The 80ch configuration will require usage odd 50GHz channels and consequently tunable
Transponders (TP10GCLX/TC or TP10G/TC-ER). The first 40channels are even 50GHz
channels and can be provided using Transponders with pluggable optics. In this example
the TPD10GBE-BU Transponder is used, i.e. same configuration as for the 40ch example
above.
Chassis 1 and 2 are thus identical as for the 40ch system. The remaining chassis are
different. In total 6 chassis are required to provide an 80ch setup.
If e.g. Muxponder units are used there will be one wavelength channel per slot and
consequently additional chassis will be required.
NOTE! The number of units that can be inserted in a card cage is limited by the total
amount of power consumption within the card cage. In the configuration example there are
chassis where several slots are unused. This is due to the power consumption restriction.
