The XDM-300 shelf boasts an extremely high modular design with two module
cages, one in the upper part, one in the lower part, and a card cage in the
middle. An expansion TPU shelf that adds protection capabilities to the I/O
modules, can be mounted on top and under the shelf. An expansion OCU shelf
that adds CWDM networking capabilities to the XDM-300, can be mounted on
top of the upper TPU or directly on top of the XDM-300 shelf.
Protection of I/O modules in the upper and lower module cages is supported.
CAUTION: When the XDM-300 shelf is to be installed

vertically, pay attention to position the shelf with the FCU300
facing downwards, to ensure proper air flow to the XDM-300.
Basic XDM-300 Shelf

The basic XDM-300 shelf is housed in a 246 mm deep, 443 mm wide, and
350 mm high equipment cage. The shelf consists of two module cages, one in
the upper part, the second in the lower part, and a card cage in the middle. Each
module cage can house up to 8 I/O modules, totaling 16 modules in the entire
shelf. The card cage accommodates two MXC300 cards (main and protection),
an External Connection Unit (ECU300 or ECU300_F), and two wide I/O cards.

Typical XDM-300 Installation

In addition to the XDM-300 shelf itself, the equipment installed in the rack
includes:
| One Rack Alarm Panel (RAP) installed at the top of the rack, used to
connect external power and alarm monitoring lines to the XDM-300
shelves installed in the rack. One of the following is suitable:
xRAP-B - fully supports up to two XDM-300 shelves
xRAP-100 - fully supports one XDM-300 shelf and three XDM smaller
shelves (like XDM-100 and XDM-50)
In addition to the space needed for installing the RAP, you must leave at
least 50 mm free space under it for routing cables.
| Fiber Storage Tray (FST). A separate FST can be installed above each
XDM-300 with optical modules. Each FST contains two storage reels,
enabling the fiber to be stored on the right or left side of the tray. Leave at
least 50 mm free space between the XDM-300 cabling accessories and its
FST, and another 50 mm free between the FST and the next XDM-300
shelf.
| Cable guide. Two units should be installed, one just above the XDM-300
and one under it, to help neatly route the cables connected to the shelf.
| Two fiber guides, installed one above the upper cable guide and one under
the lower cable guide. Helps to neatly route fibers, while keeping the
minimum allowed bend radius.
| Cable slack tray. One unit should be installed under the lower fiber guide,
to help organize the slacks of cables connected to the lower module cage
and lower TPU.
| xDDF-21 (optional). A separate xDDF-21 panel can be used when
unbalanced 75 Ω interfaces need to be connected and converted to balanced
120 Ω interfaces of PIM2_21 and PIM2_63/B modules. Leave at least
100 mm free space above the XDM-300 shelf and below the xDDF-21.

Preparing Cables and Fibers

NOTE: This section provides information for preparing
cables and optical fibers. The necessary cables can also be
ordered from ECI Telecom. For details, contact ECI
Telecom’s Customer Support team or your ECI Telecom sales
representative.
The main cables required for installing the XDM-300 include:

| Grounding cables, described in Grounding Cables (on page 2-14)
| DC power cables, described in DC Power Cables (on page 2-15)
| Alarm cables, described in Alarm Cables (on page 2-16)
| Management cables, described in Management Cables (on page 2-16)
| Timing (clock) cables, described in Timing (Clock) Cables (on page 2-17)
| Electric traffic cables, described in Electric Traffic Cables (on page 2-17)
| Optical fibers, described in Optical Fibers (on page 2-18)
| Data cables for data modules, described in Data Cables for EISMBs,
DIOMs, and MCSMs (on page 2-28) as applicable
Grounding Cables
Rack equipment is bonded through the screws that fasten the equipment chassis
to the frame of the rack. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a reliable
low-impedance connection between the rack frame and the site grounding bus
using copper conductors.
Connect the rack grounding screw and the site grounding bar with a 2 AWG
(35 mm2) or thicker copper lead with green/yellow insulation, in compliance
with UL/ETSI recommendations. The RAP end of the lead must be terminated
in an M6 lug suitable for the gauge of the lead in use.
Route grounding conductors along the shortest possible route. Treat the bare
portion of the conductor with antioxidant and connect a listed two-hole
compression lug. If the lug is not plated, bring it to a bright finish and coat it
with antioxidant before connecting it to the rack frame. Do not mix conductors
of different types of metal.

Maintenance Manual
DC Power Cables
NOTE: According to accepted industry standards for

connecting DC power, the positive lead (+48 V) should be
connected with a red cable, and the negative lead (-48 V) with
a black cable. However, according to the BS7671 (GB) and
HD 308 S2:2001 (EU) standards, the positive lead (+48 V)
should be connected with a blue cable, and the negative lead
(-48 V) with a gray cable. In the following sections that
describe DC power cable connections, use cables with
appropriate colors to comply with the standards in your area
of residence.
DC power cables should be prepared on site. Two types of DC power cables

are needed:
| RAP input power cables
| Shelf power cables
RAP input power cables

The RAP input power cables are prepared on site. They connect input power
from the site power distribution subsystem to the DC input terminals of the
rack's RAP panel.
Two input power cables are required for each rack, one for each source. The
cables must use copper leads complying with UL/ETSI recommendations. Use
a red lead for the positive conductor and a black lead for the negative
conductor, or as required in your area of residence. The RAP cable ends must
be terminated in M6 cable lugs matching the conductor gauge.
The recommended cable gauge is 2 AWG (35 mm2) or thicker. This gauge
ensures that the voltage drop across the rack power cable does not exceed 2 V,
even for cable runs of up to 30 meters connected to a RAP providing power to
multiple XDM-300 shelves.
When the RAP is used to provide power to a single XDM-300 shelf, lower lead
gauges may be used for runs not exceeding 50 meters. It is sufficient to use
25 m2 copper leads.
Shelf power cables

Two 12 AWG (25 mm²) cables supplied by ECI Telecom are used to connect
the two redundant input power sources from the RAP panel to the POWER
connectors on the MXC300-A and MXC300-B cards of each XDM-300 shelf
installed in the rack.

Maintenance Manual
Alarm Cables
Alarm cables used are included in the shipment according to the site
specifications. Alarm indications are carried by the following cables:
| Shelf alarm indication cable. One shelf alarm indication cable is required
for each XDM-300 shelf installed in the rack. One end of the cable is
always connected to the ALARMS connector on the ECU300/ECU300-F
card. Connection of the other end depends on the cable type, as follows:
xRAP-100 alarm cable. Connects to one of the SHELF connectors on
the xRAP-100.
xRAP-B alarm cable. Connects to one of the SHELF connectors on the
xRAP-B.
Client alarm cable. Connects to the client's alarm collecting facility.
| Bay alarm cable. One bay alarm cable is required for each rack. This cable
carries the alarm indications and monitoring lines of the bay (rack). One
end of the cable is connected to the RAP, the other end is open and
connects to the client's alarm collecting facility. Two types of this cable are
available:
xRAP-100 bay alarm cable. Connects to the ALARM IN/OUT
connector on the xRAP-100.
xRAP-B bay alarm cable. Connects to the ALARMS connector on the
xRAP-B.
Management Cables
Out-of-band management communication is connected to an XDM-300 by
means of a minihub with a pair of the RJ-45 Ethernet connectors located on the
ECU300-F and ECU300 cards.
If one XDM-300 is installed, the connection is made to the management MAIN
RJ-45 connector. If more than one XDM-300 is installed in the same site, it is
possible to save the use of an external hub. In this case, the first system is
connected as explained above, and the other systems are connected in an
Ethernet daisy chain. The management MAIN connector of each system is
connected to the management PROT/LCT connector of the previous system.
Suitable standard Ethernet station cables are available from many sources.
Cables of Category 3 or better must be used. The length of the cables must not
exceed the maximum recommended for the cable type and hub port in use (up
to a few dozen meters).

Maintenance Manual
Timing (Clock) Cables

The ECU300/ECU300-F on the XDM-300 shelf has two timing reference
connectors, T3_1/T4_1 and T3_2/T4_2, which are used for 2.048 Mbps signals
and have balanced (120 Ω) G.703 interfaces.
The cables used to connect to these connectors are prepared on site, and they
comprise individually shielded twisted pairs (the same type of pairs needed for
connection to the balanced E1 tributary interfaces).
If the site timing reference distribution subsystem has unbalanced (75 Ω) G.703
interfaces, a 120 Ω/75 Ω adapter can be supplied for mounting on the
T3_1/T4_1 and T3_2/T4_2 connectors. This permits using coaxial cables
(BT3002 or equivalent) of the same type used for connecting to balanced E1
tributary interfaces.
Electric Traffic Cables

Some electric traffic cables can be prepared on site. The following table lists
the type of cables and mating connectors needed for each XDM-300 traffic
interface type.
NOTE: The connectors are identical regardless of whether

the traffic cables are connected directly to the I/O modules or
to TPMs on the TPU.

Optical Fibers
Optical fibers can be prepared on site.
Use only 2 mm optical fibers to connect to optical interfaces. For each optical
interface, ECI Telecom supplies patch cords with mating optical connectors
already attached to the fiber. Therefore, only the optical termination on the
ODF side, which is installation-dependent, must be installed on site.
The optical fibers should enter the rack from the top, be threaded through cable
guides running along the rack side rails, and end at the FST. The tray must
contain enough fiber length for extracting modules from the XDM-300 and for
replacing fiber in case of damage (splicing repairs). When routing fibers, make
sure to observe the minimum bending radius (35 mm).

Work and Equipment Safety

WARNING: XDM-300 equipment is intended for installation
in restricted access areas only.
XDM-300 shelves contain power sources of varying voltages. Take note of the
following guidelines for installing the shelves.
Before you start:

| Ensure the integrity of the grounding connections.
| Make sure that sufficient lighting is available.
| Note that the equipment racks and XDM shelves are suitable for mounting
on concrete or other noncombustible surfaces only.
| XDM shelves must be installed in accordance with National Electrical
Code.
| Do not work on any equipment when it is connected to a voltage source
(DC or AC), except to insert/remove cards or modules (these activities can
be performed on operating equipment).
| Ensure that the maximum working temperature does not exceed 55°C.
| Use only insulated tools.
| Wear protective clothing as required by the requisite safety regulations.
| Do not install or maintain equipment connected to external lines (for
example, E1 tributaries) during thunderstorms.
| Avoid contact with high voltage sources when installing shelves, cards, and

equipment, and strictly observe the procedures needed to avoid the
indicated hazards.

Maintenance Manual
Grounding Requirements
All the equipment, including XDM-300 shelves, ancillary units, and equipment
from other vendors, must be properly grounded at all times. Good equipment
grounding is necessary to protect personnel and equipment, minimize noise,
and allow the discharge of accumulated static charges to earth.
Checking site grounding wiring

Proper operation of XDM equipment requires that the positive supply line be
connected to the common ground (CGND) of the site at the power source, in
accordance with ETS300132-2.
The following figure shows a simplified diagram of the connections to CGND
suitable for the installation of XDM shelves.

Figure 2-5: Grounding connections at typical site
Correct grounding is critical, and therefore it is necessary to check the

connections before applying power to the equipment installed in the rack.
When two independent power sources are used, the test must be performed
separately for each source.
If a problem is detected during the test, the site wiring must be repaired before
continuing.
The check is made with a standard DVM, using the following procedure.

Maintenance Manual
To check for proper grounding wiring:

1. Measure and record the output voltage of the power supply at the power
supply terminals. Make sure that it is within the specified limits (XDM
equipment can use -75 VDC to -40 VDC).
2. At the RAP: Measure and record the voltage between the positive (red) lead
of the power source and the RAP metallic body. The voltage difference
must not exceed 5 V.
3. At the RAP: Measure and record the voltage between the negative (black)
lead of the power source and the RAP metallic body. The voltage
difference must not exceed the supply voltage measured in Step 1, and must
be within 5 V of the measured voltage.
For example, if the power supply voltage is -48 VDC, the voltage measured
in this step cannot be more negative than -48 VDC, nor more positive than
-43 VDC.
Rack grounding requirements

Connect the rack to the site grounding bar with a ground cable according to
ETSI recommendations (top/bottom connection).
The rack is supplied with a main copper or brass grounding bolt welded to the
rack frame. The grounding stud is identified on the rack by the ground symbol
label.
The rack grounding bolt must be connected to the site grounding bar by a
35 mm2 (2 AWG) grounding cable or thicker, as short as possible, complying
with UL/ETSI recommendations. The bolt must be free of paint. The cable
should be made of copper strands, and terminated on both sides with bolt
terminals.
NOTE: If necessary, the gauge of the grounding lead can also

be reduced to the gauge of the RAP power leads.
The rack mounting rails must be free of paint, and provide electrical continuity
to the main grounding bolt. The resistance between any rail and the rack main
grounding bolt must be less than 0.1 Ω.
Pay particular attention to the area in which the RAP is attached; remove paint
from the rack in this area to ensure efficient electrical contact.

Maintenance Manual
CAUTION: Connect the RAP grounding bolt to the rack

grounding bolt with a grounding cable complying with
UL/ETSI recommendations. The cable should include bolt
terminals on both ends and should be securely fastened with a
nut and a star washer.
Equipment grounding requirements

Ground each equipment unit mounted on the rack to the rack frame by means
of the retaining bolts and nuts used to attach the unit to the rack frame.
Ground equipment to the rack rails via the mounting brackets. The mounting
bracket internal surface facing the rails and the equipment must be free of paint
and provide electrical continuity to the equipment frame. Check the resistance
between any mounting bracket and the equipment frame (chassis) to be less
than 0.1 Ω.
Where regulations require, connect each XDM-300 shelf separately to the site
grounding bar using the special grounding strip on the XDM-300 shelf bracket.
The thickness of the grounding cable connecting between the XDM-300 shelf
and the RAP must be at least as thick as the DC cables feeding the shelf. The
thickness of the grounding cable connecting between the RAP and the rack's
grounding stud must be at least as thick as the DC cables feeding the RAP.
Figure 2-6: XDM-300 grounding posts

Maintenance Manual
Power Supply Requirements

XDM-300 shelves require two power sources with a nominal voltage of
-48 VDC or -60 VDC. Each power source is protected by a UL-listed circuit
breaker installed in the RAP. The required circuit breakers are included in the
installation parts kit supplied with the equipment, and therefore their current
rating is in accordance with the order.
The site operator must provide a readily accessible UL-listed disconnect device
incorporated in the fixed power wiring of the site. This device limits the
maximum delivered current to a safe value.
UL Statutory Warnings and Requirements

This section outlines the UL statutory warnings and requirements applicable to
XDM-300 grounding strip platforms.
Identification of CE listing
XDM-300 shelves are CE-listed. The following is a typical CE label for
XDM-300 shelves.

SELV circuits.
CAUTION: When replacing fuses, observe the following

precautions:
For continued protection against risk of fire, replace fuses

only with a fuse of the same type and rating.
Disconnect power before changing a fuse.

Maintenance Manual
UL equipment grounding requirements

The equipment must be connected directly to the DC supply system grounding
electrode conductor or to a bonding jumper from a grounding terminal bar or
bus to which the DC supply system grounding electrode is connected.
The equipment must be located in the same immediate area (such as adjacent
racks) as any other equipment that has a connection between the grounded
conductor of the same DC supply circuit and the grounding conductor, and also
the point of grounding of the DC system. The DC system must not be grounded
elsewhere. The DC supply source must be located in the same premises as this
equipment.
Do not switch or disconnect devices in the grounded circuit conductor between
the DC source and the point of connection of the grounding electrode
conductor.

Protection Against ESD

This section provides guidelines regarding the protection of XDM-300
equipment and its components against electrostatic damage during handling,
packing/unpacking, transport, installation, commissioning, inspections,
servicing, and maintenance.
Electronic equipment, assemblies, and components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD) or include sensitive items are identified by the
basic ESD warning symbol shown in the following figure.
Figure 2-8: Basic ESD warning symbol
The information provided in this section is in line with CENELEC Electronic

Components Committee (CECC) specification CECC 00 015, which deals with
protection of devices sensitive to ESDs.
Most types of electronic equipment, assemblies, and components can be
damaged by electrostatic discharges. An electrostatic discharge between two
objects occurs when an object carrying static electrical charges touches or is
brought near another object.
Static electrical charges appear as a result of friction between surfaces of
insulating materials or separation of two such surfaces, and may also be
induced by electrical fields. Routine activities such as walking across an
insulating floor, friction between garment parts, friction between objects, and
so on, can easily build up charges to levels that may cause damage, especially
when humidity is low.

Maintenance Manual
In many cases, the build-up of charge can be avoided by using special

materials, for example, garments and packaging can be made of antistatic
materials or materials that have high resistance, but yet are not insulators.
The best way to avoid damage by electrostatic discharge is a combination of
means and procedures that achieves the following goals:
| Avoid build-up of electrostatic charges.
| Create a protected work environment that helps prevent electrostatic
discharges.
| Provide means for controlled discharge of any accumulated electrostatic
charges when entering the protected work environment.
NOTE: An area in which ESDs can be handled with

minimum risk of damage as a result of electrostatic discharge
or fields, and in which the operator is not exposed to
additional risks, is called an ESD Protected Area (EPA).
Personnel Training
During production and assembly, equipment is handled in workspaces
especially prepared and certified to serve as a permanent EPA. However, in
many cases the environment in which the same equipment is installed or
maintained cannot be assumed to form an EPA with a permanently controlled
boundary. Therefore, all the work involving handling of unprotected ESDs
must be considered as field work.
Field work in this context includes such activities as service and maintenance,
installation, site inspections, and commissioning of components and assemblies
classified as ESDs, together with associated packing and unpacking activities.
All the staff involved in field work must be trained to perform field work in the
same way as work performed in permanent EPAs with respect to the material
quality, personal responsibilities, training, labeling, and packing.

Maintenance Manual
Use of Temporary EPA

Where necessary, a temporary EPA must be used. A typical temporary EPA
arrangement suitable for field work on XDM-300 equipment is shown in the
following figure. The EPA tool kit includes:
| Wrist strap with 1 M Ω series resistor
| Bonding strap with 1 M Ω series resistor

| ESD carpet (work surface), 0.25 m2 minimum
The temporary EPA must include temporary controlled work surfaces and/or
flooring capable of providing protection against ESD.
CAUTION: The temporary EPA must be constructed in a way

that ensures electrical bonding of all the materials used, and
prevents the occurrence of any sudden changes in potential
within the EPA that could cause unacceptable voltages or
discharges to be applied to ESDs.

Maintenance Manual
Figure 2-9: XDM-300 typical temporary EPA arrangement

Maintenance Manual
Work Arrangements Within a Temporary

EPA
To ensure that effective ESD protection is indeed achieved, the following
arrangements must be observed by persons entering and/or performing field
work within a temporary EPA area:
1. All operators working within a temporary EPA area must wear, as a
minimum, an ESD antistatic protecting garment made of cotton.
2. If the extent of the temporary work area is such that the operator needs to
walk and move within that area, the floor of the area must be capable of
providing protection against ESD.
3. The operator must be bonded to ground at all times when handling ESDs.
4. If it becomes necessary to remove an ESD from equipment and transfer it
to a temporary work surface away from the equipment, the ESD must be
given protective packaging unless equipotential bonding to ground of the
operator is maintained.
5. An ESD must be placed directly into protective packaging when it is
removed from equipment. A replacement ESD must be kept in its
protective packaging until required for immediate installation in the
equipment.
6. The field service operator must ensure that the materials and tools
necessary to maintain and control the temporary EPA are available at the
place of the field work at service time.
7. All tools for use within the EPA must, as far as is practical, be constructed
so that they do not generate or hold an induced electrostatic charge.

Overview
This chapter provides general instructions for the installation of the XDM-300
and auxiliary equipment.
The procedures for equipment replacement and upgrades are similar to those
described for installation of the equipment, and when relevant, notes regarding
live replacement or upgrade are inserted in these procedures.
The information appearing in this chapter should be used in conjunction with
specific site installation plans in the particular customer network. If you are
interested in obtaining design or installation assistance from ECI Telecom
Transport Networking Division’s Customer Support team, or wish to prepare a
network installation plan, contact your ECI Telecom sales representative.
The XDM-300 shelf, cards, modules, and ancillary equipment are described in
the XDM-300 Reference Manual.

Equipment Installation XDM-300 Installation and
Maintenance Manual
Preliminary Preparations
The installation procedures provided in this chapter assume that:
| The sites at which the installation procedures are carried out comply with
the requirements listed in Site Preparation (on page 2-4).
| The preliminary preparations specified in Before You Start (on page 2-1)
have been completed.
Before you start, determine what equipment is to be installed in the rack by
referring to the site installation plan, and note the exact position of each unit (to
avoid errors, it is recommended that you mark the prescribed positions on the
rack rails using a soft pencil).
Equipment Installation Sequence

Each component of the XDM-300 system is supplied separately and must be
installed in the correct sequence, according to the site plan.
The XDM-300 shelf can be mounted in the rack in an horizontal or vertical
position. The main equipment used for both installations is similar, and differs
in the number of accessories, type of brackets used in each position, and one
accessory, used only for horizontal mountings.
NOTE:
If you are not installing an FST for a particular XDM-300
shelf, it is recommended that you leave empty space in the
rack in case optical modules are added to the shelf in the
future.
If you are not installing a TPU for a particular XDM-300
shelf, it is recommended that you leave empty space in the
rack so that the protection unit can be added in the future,
if required, without interrupting operation.
CAUTION:
If additional equipment is used in the rack, a heat buffer or
a buffer plate must be installed between any such
additional equipment and the XDM-300 shelf to minimize
the transfer of heat from shelf to shelf. This heat buffer
must be purchased from ECI Telecom.
During the installation of equipment in the rack, make
sure all the optical connectors are closed by protective
caps. Do not remove the cap until an optical fiber is
connected to the corresponding connector.
Several installation options are illustrated in Installation Options (on page

3-10).

equipment in racks. This section describes the main types of accessories. If you
need custom modification to standard items, contact ECI Telecom’s Transport
Networking Division support team or your ECI Telecom sales representative.
xRAP-B
The xRAP-B is a power distribution and alarm panel for XDM shelves installed
in racks. The xRAP-B performs the following main functions:
| Power distribution for one or two XDM-300 shelves. The nominal DC
power voltage is -48 VDC or -60 VDC. Since XDM-300 shelves can use
redundant power sources, the xRAP-B supports connection to two separate
DC power circuits. The internal circuits of the xRAP-B are powered
whenever at least one power source is connected. The presence of DC
power within the xRAP-B is indicated by a POWER ON indicator.
The xRAP-B has two 5-pin DC output connectors for supplying power to
any shelf in the XDM-1000 or XDM-100 family of products. The
maximum power that can be supplied to each XDM shelf is up to 2250 W,
in accordance with the shelf type and version.
Each DC power circuit of each shelf is protected by a circuit breaker that

also serves as a power on/off switch for the corresponding circuit. The
required circuit breakers are included in the installation parts kit supplied
with the XDM-300 shelves, and therefore their current rating is in
accordance with the order requirements.
The circuit breakers are installed during the xRAP-B installation. To

prevent accidental changing of a circuit breaker’s state, the circuit breakers
can be reached only after opening the front cover of the xRAP-B. The
circuit breaker state (ON or OFF) can be seen through translucent covers.
| Bay alarm indications. The xRAP-B includes four alarm indicators, one
for each alarm severity. When alarms of different severities are received
simultaneously, the corresponding alarm indications light simultaneously.
A buzzer is activated whenever a Major or Critical alarm is present in
XDM-300 shelves installed in the rack.
| Connecting alarms from two XDM-300 shelves, each shelf with

maximum four alarm inputs and four alarm outputs (via dry contacts) to the
customer's central alarm monitoring system.

Maintenance Manual
| Exporting severity alarms. Two separate groups of severity alarms (a

group for each XDM shelf) are provided via dry contacts for the customer's
central alarm monitoring system.
| Exporting Critical buzzer signals. The Critical alarm signal is provided
via dry contacts to the customer's central alarm monitoring system for
activation of a Critical buzzer. A separate line is provided as well for
muting this buzzer, by connecting the line to a momentary switch.
NOTE: The xRAP-B is backwards compatible with the

Maintenance Manual
Connecting I/O Protection Cables in the

XDM-300
The optional TPU shelf can be mounted on top and/or under the XDM-300
shelf to add I/O protection capability to the platform.
Each Tributary Protection Module (TPM) is connected to both operating and
protection I/O modules in the XDM-300 shelf.
If a failure is detected in one of the operating I/O modules, the TC module in
the TPU switches the traffic from the operating I/O module to the protection
module.
The TPU has four slots for TPMs. The modules are connected to the main and
protection I/O modules by traffic cables, and the client's traffic is connected
directly to the TPMs.
TPMs support the electrical PIMs and SIMs with the following protection
schemes:
| TPMs for a 1:1 protection scheme, where one protection module is
connected to a single I/O module
connected to one or two I/O modules
connected to two or three I/O modules
The TPU connects to a connector on top of the XDM-300 shelf. Similarly the
lower TPU connects to a connector at the bottom of the shelf. These connectors
provide the power and control buses required for the TPU operation.
The modules in the TPU are distributed as follows:
| The rightmost TPU slot is allocated for the TC module. The TC module is
described in (COM RM) TC.
| The other four slots are used for any combination of TPMs (single slot,
double-slot, or triple-slot modules are supported).
The TPMs available for the I/O protection are:
| TPM2_1
| TPM2_3
| TPM2_63_2
| TPMH_1

Maintenance Manual
Each TPM is dedicated for protection of a specific traffic rate and protection
scheme. The TPM name designates the protected traffic rate and the protection
scheme, as follows:
| The first digit after the name designates the traffic rate.
| The last digit after the underscore designates the protection scheme.
For example, the TPM2_3 is a module for 2 Mbps traffic, and supports a
protection scheme of 1:3.
Similarly TPMH_1 is a module for High rate traffic (including 34/45 Mbps and
155 Mbps), and a protection scheme of 1:1.
The following table summarizes the available TPMs, the type of I/O modules
they protect, the traffic rate, and the protection scheme.
Table 3-10: XDM-300 protection schemes
TPM Type Protected I/O Traffic rate Protection

TPMH_1 PIM345, 34/45 Mbps, 155 1:1
SIM1_4/E, Mbps
SIM1_8
In the specific XDM-300 protection schemes, the location of the protection

module (P) and the protected module (M) is allocated by the system's
management software. Therefore the I/O modules must be installed in the
allocated slots, and connected to the corresponding TPMs.
The following sections provide schematic diagrams and tables for the
connections of the XDM-300 shelf in the various protection schemes.

Air Filter Preventive Maintenance

Air particles trapped by the air filter increase the resistance to airflow, and can
eventually decrease the airflow below the minimum required for proper cooling
of internal components. The resulting increase in the internal temperature of the
equipment reduces the equipment reliability and performance. Therefore,
whenever an air filter is installed, it must periodically be cleaned or replaced
with a clean filter.
It is accepted throughout the electronics equipment industry to recommend
cleaning or replacing air filters approximately every 90 days. However, the
cleaning intervals depend on the specific environmental conditions. In dusty
environments more frequent cleaning is required. Note that foam filters, which
are the type used in XDM shelves, efficiently trap particles without showing
face loading of contaminants, and therefore visual inspection cannot be used to
determine cleaning intervals.
CAUTION: Filter cleaning intervals must strictly be

observed, as clogging by trapped particles can severely impair
equipment reliability and performance.

Maintenance Manual
Recommended cleaning methods

The following methods (listed in order of ascending efficiency) can be used to
clean air filters:
1. Vacuum clean: A few passes of a vacuum cleaner remove accumulated
dust and dirt in seconds. Point the air nozzle in the direction of operating
airflow (vacuum from intake side toward exhaust side).
2. Blow with compressed air: Point a compressed air nozzle in the opposite
direction of the operating airflow (blow from the exhaust side toward the
intake side).
NOTE: Oily residues and moisture reduce cleaning efficiency

of the above methods; in such cases, clean the filter using
method No. 4, or replace the filter.
3. Cold water rinse: Under normal service conditions, the foam media used
in the filters require no oily adhesives. Therefore, collected dust and dirt
can be washed away using a standard hose nozzle with plain water. Stand
the filter until completely dry and free of moisture, and return to service.
4. Immersion in warm soapy water: Where stubborn airborne dirt is present,
the filter may be dipped in a solution of warm water and mild detergent.
Then simply rinse in clear water, stand until completely dry and free of
moisture, and return to service.
The recommended method is No. 4, as it ensures thorough cleaning of all types
of contaminants under any reasonable service conditions.

Maintenance Manual
Cleaning the air filter

For the procedure steps, refer to the following figure.
Figure 4-1: Inserting the air filter
NOTE: The air filter can be removed and reinstalled while the
XDM-300 shelf is in operation.

Maintenance Manual
To clean the air filter:

1. Release the two thumbnuts fastening the filter in the upmost position.
2. Lower the filter frame and pull the filter out.
3. Inspect the filter for damage. If any damage (for example, holes or torn
material) is evident, replace the filter with a new one.
CAUTION: Replace the filter only with a filter of the original

type. Failure to do so can impair equipment reliability and
performance.
4. Clean the filter using the method selected by your organization.

5. Identify the filter's air intake side, indicated by the two coding tabs.
6. Insert the clean filter in the holding frame, lift the thumbnuts and fasten
them in place.

Maintenance Manual
Traffic Monitoring System
Principles of Operation
The XDM-300 incorporates a traffic monitoring system that enables rapid
allocation of major problems in the traffic passing through its aggregate and
I/O modules.
The XDM-300 monitoring system enables you to monitor traffic passing
through the I/O modules installed in slots I1 to I16 of the modules cages.
NOTE: I/O CWDM modules installed in the modules cage

slots are not supported by the monitoring system.
The main components of the monitoring system interface are located on the
ECU300-F front panel. These components, except for the monitoring point and
monitoring indicator, are common to all modules. In addition, the system has a
monitoring point and monitoring indicators on the front panel of the modules.
The PIM2_21, PIM2_63/B, and PIM345 have only one monitoring indicator
used for all their channels. STM-1 modules do not have a monitoring point, and
use the monitoring point on the ECU300-F card.
Figure 4-2: ECU300-F monitoring system interface

Maintenance Manual
The system's common components on the ECU300-F are as follows:

| MODULE selector
| CHANNEL selector
| MODULE, 2-digit display
| CHANNEL, 2-digit display
The ECU300-F components that serve only STM-1 modules are:
| STM-1 MON monitoring point
| MON indicator
The monitoring system components on the monitored modules include:
| MON monitoring point
| MON indicators
Figure 4-3: Monitoring system interface of a typical module
The monitoring system enables you to monitor traffic passing through a

module. To do so, test equipment is connected to the monitoring point of the
corresponding module, and the module and port are selected by the system's
selectors. As a result, the traffic is closed through the test equipment and the
signal can be viewed, in an eye pattern, on the test equipment display.
Selecting a module
The MODULE selector chooses the monitored module slot number. The
selected module is displayed on the 2-digit display to the right of the selector.
Pressing the selector upward increments the slot number; pressing it downward
decrements the slot number. The selection is cyclic. Possible selections are QA
(I17) and QB (I18) for the aggregate cards (I/O cards), and I1 to I16 for the I/O
modules. If the selected module is an STM-1, the MON indicator on the
ECU300-F lights.

Maintenance Manual
Selecting a channel
The CHANNEL selector chooses the specific monitored channel (port) on the
module selected. The selected channel is displayed on the 2-digit display to the
left of the selector. Pressing the selector upward increments the channel
number; pressing it downward decrements the channel number. The selection is
cyclic. Possible selections are from 00 to the module's maximum number of
channels. For example, in a PIM2_21 (which has 21 ports), the selection goes
from 00 to 21. When the value 00 is selected, the system blocks the monitoring
to the selected module.
In addition to the number of the selected channel shown on the display, a MON
indicator lights near the selected port on the module. If an STM-1 module is
selected, the MON indicator on the ECU300-F lights in addition to the LED
near the selected port on the module.
Stabilization time
The monitoring system has a stabilization time of approximately 1.5 seconds.
This means that after a new value is selected with the MODULE or CHANNEL
selectors, the display starts blinking for the stabilization time, and only after
that the new selection is displayed.
Response to events
This section describes the response of the monitoring system to the following
events:
| Power-on
| Cold restart
| MXC300 switching to redundancy
| Warm restart
| ECU300-F extraction/insertion
After power-on, the monitoring system displays 17 00. This is the default state,
and indicates slot I17 and channel 00. Channel 00 is defined in the system as
idle state, and indicates that no channel was selected and that monitoring is
disabled. To enable the monitoring results, a module and a channel must be
selected.
The response of the system to MXC300 switching to redundancy is identical to
the response to cold restart.
Warm restart does not affect the traffic or monitoring of any modules in the
XDM-300.
After extracting/inserting the ECU300-F, the monitoring display is reset to the
default state 17 00, and the monitoring history stored in the ECU300-F's
memory is lost.

Maintenance Manual
Assigning modules to slots

To monitor a module installed in a specific slot, the management system must
have previously assigned that module to the slot. If the module was not
assigned, the CHANNEL display will indicate 00 and remain in this state, even
if you attempt to change the selection.
If a module in a slot is replaced with a module of the same type, the display
will not change and the system will read the monitoring result for the channel
that was last selected. If a module has to be replaced with a module of a
different type, the new module must be assigned to the slot. Then, a new
MODULE and CHANNEL selection must be made.
Monitoring options
The system can monitor a number of channels in different modules
simultaneously. This feature is useful when traffic passing through different
modules in the XDM-300 has to be analyzed.
After monitoring channels of different modules, all selected channel numbers
of these modules are saved in the ECU-F's memory.
You can connect test equipment to various modules or connect test equipment
with multiple inputs to simultaneously monitor the traffic passing through the
channels in these modules.
Monitoring Signal Levels

The following table lists the normal signal levels at the monitoring points for
the various modules.

Onsite Troubleshooting
The purpose of onsite troubleshooting is to identify the hardware causing the
malfunction and return the equipment to normal operation as soon as possible.
Troubleshooting is usually initiated in response to one of the following
conditions:
| Alarm or performance degradation reported by the management station.
| Alarm or malfunction detected on site by maintenance personnel, either as
a result of a troubleshooting activity initiated by the management center
personnel or as a result of a periodic inspection or preventive maintenance
action. Many problems can be detected via the various indicators available
on the XDM-300 system components.
This chapter assumes familiarity with the XDM-300, with SDH, data, and
CWDM equipment, and with the LightSoft and EMS-XDM management
stations. Refer to the respective user manuals for details on the various
capabilities of the management stations, and for instructions on performing the
desired activities.
The following sections provide procedures for performing onsite
troubleshooting for various trouble categories, as well as for specific
subsystems, for example, OADMs, Mux/DeMux subsystems, and so on. For
each category, you will find a troubleshooting table that provides the
instructions for identifying the trouble.
To use the troubleshooting table:

1. Identify the closest description of the trouble symptoms under
“Symptoms”.
2. Perform the required corrective actions listed under “Corrective actions” in
the order in which they appear until the trouble is corrected.

ALARMS Connector
The ALARMS connector is a 36-pin SCSI female connector that carries three
groups of lines:
| Five external alarm input lines referenced to an internal power supply
common line (the power supply’s common line is floating relative to the
chassis ground). The alarm input lines are monitored by the XDM-300
management subsystem. Each input is connected to the input diode of an
optocoupler.
| Three external alarm outputs/inputs. Each output is provided by three relay
dry contacts. These lines can be configured as additional alarm inputs by
the system’s management.
| Four severity alarm outputs and a buzzer control line. Each output is
provided by three relay dry contacts. The buzzer control line is provided by
two dry contacts.
Relay contact ratings are 75 V in open state and 1A in closed state.
The following figure identifies the connector pins as seen when looking into
the connector. The table lists the pin assignment for the ALARMS connector.

The ALARMS connector can be connected in several configurations to the

customer’s alarm collecting facility. It can be connected directly to the
customer’s distribution frame or via xRAP or xRAP-100 rack alarm panels to
the customer’s facility. ECI Telecom’s Transport Networking Division offers
appropriate cables for each of the configurations. These cables are described in
the sections that follow.

PIM2_63/B Connection Data

The PIM2_63/B provides 63 balanced or unbalanced E1 tributary interfaces
and has three pairs of 50-pin SCSI female connectors. Each connector pair
supports 21 E1 interfaces. The upper connector in each pair serves the E1
receive signals and the lower the E1 transmit signals. The tributaries and type
of signal (IN for receive, OUT for transmit) supported by each connector are
marked near the connector: IN 1-21, OUT 1-21, IN 22-42, OUT 22-42, IN
43-63, and OUT 43-63.
The following figure identifies the connector pins in each pair as seen when
looking into the connector. The tables list the pin assignment for a typical
connector pair (for unbalanced interfaces, wire A is the center (tip) conductor,
and wire B is the shield, or ring). These tables also list the color of the wire
connected to the corresponding pin in the cables offered by ECI Telecom’s
Transport Networking Division for connecting the tributary connector and a
distribution frame. The tributary numbers appearing in these tables are given
for the IN 1-21 and OUT 1-21 connectors. To obtain the correct tributary
numbers for the other connectors, interpret the numbers as representing the
number of the tributary in its group (for example, in connectors IN 22-42 and
OUT 22-42, 7 represents E1 tributary 28; in connectors IN 43-63 and OUT
43-63, 12 represents E1 tributary 57).

ALARM IN/OUT Connector

The ALARM IN/OUT connector is a SCSI 68-pin female connector that carries
three groups of lines:
| Sixteen external alarm inputs connected to the ALARM inputs of the
XDM-300 shelf. Four inputs are allocated to each XDM-300 shelf. Each
input is activated by closing a dry contact provided from the customer’s
facility. For example to activate alarm input 1 of shelf 2 you have to close
dry contacts between pins number 43 and 44 of the connector.
| Eight sets of change-over relay contacts floating with respect to shelf
ground, which serve as rack (bay) status outputs. Each couple of the eight
relays is assigned to one of the output alarm lines of the four XDM-300
shelves connected to the xRAP-100.
| Four sets of change-over relay contacts floating with respect to shelf
ground, which serve as rack (bay) alarm indication lines. The relays,
identified as critical, major, minor, and warning, are activated by the
corresponding alarm relays of XDM-300 shelves.
Relay contact ratings are 75 V in open state, and 1A in closed state.
The following figure identifies the ALARM IN/OUT connector pins as seen
when looking into the connector. The table lists the pin assignment for the
ALARM IN/OUT connector. This table also lists the color of the wire
connected to the corresponding pin in the cables offered by ECI Telecom’s
