    daughtercards can handle one or more T1/E1 ports, depending on which DSP application

    is active.

    For example, the EdgePlus DSP application can only handle one T1/E1 port, while the

    AbisXpress DSP application can handle two T1/E1 ports.

    NOTE: Other factors can influence the number of ports a DSP resource can support.

    To determine the number of DLP/DDLP cards you need for your network,

    please contact your Memotec representative.

    There are two types of daughtercards you can add to your CX-U unit:

    A DLP (Digital line processor) card has a single DSP resource that is used to

    compress traffic.

    The DDLP (Dual Digital line processor) has a dual DSP resources which doubles

    the processing power. Only the CX-U1000 series of units (revision 6 or later)

    supports the DDLP cards.

    4.1 GPS Clock Solution

    The CX-U GPS clock solution (GPS-CLK-2) provides remote locations with an accurate

    timing source when the clock reference cannot be economically carried. The GPS solution

    is composed of three main components: the GPS clock module, the GPS antenna, and the

    surge (lightning) protection device, which are described in the following sections. Figure4-1 shows these main components, as well as cables, adaptors and connectors required to

    setup the entire GPS solution.

    4.1.1 GPS Clock Module

    This small module, shown in Figure 4-2, mounts directly onto the CX-U motherboard. It is

    specifically designed for use in remote synchronization and timing applications. The

    reference synchronization is highly accurate and can achieve full PRC MTIE

    performance. It has a self-survey mode of operation that allows the module to provide

    accurate timing even with only one satellite being tracked. It provides reference timing to

    all T1/E1, serial links (V.35/EIA-530) and external equipment using the SYNC Output.

    Table 4-1 summarizes its specifications. For instructions on installing the module, please

    see Adding a GPS Module on page 5-11.

    5.1 Installation Preparations

    The CX-U1010 and CX-U1240 fit in a standard rack, as well as the CX-U1280 and the

    CX-U1220. The mounting brackets and screws are shipped with the units.

    5.1.1 Unpacking and Inspecting the Units

    When you receive your shipment, you should confirm its contents.

    To unpack and inspect the units:

    1. Examine the shipping boxes and note if there is any damage.

    2. Open the shipping boxes and match their contents with the packing slip. If necessary,

    make a list of any discrepancies.

    3. Examine the exterior of the chassis and cover for cracks, scratches or other signs of

    damage. You should fully describe the type, amount and location of damage.

    4. Store the shipping boxes and protective foam for future use.

    5. Inform your sales representative of shipping discrepancies or damage.

    5.1.2 Opening and Closing the Chassis

    Installing additional DLPs or DDLPs requires that you first remove the CX-U1000s

    cover, then replace it when the work is done.

    To open and close the chassis:

    1. Disconnect all network connections.

    2. Disconnect the power cord.

    3. Ground yourself to protect the unit from electrostatic discharge (ESD).

    4. Position the unit so it faces you. Remove the five Phillips-head screws located on the

    top of the chassis, see Figure 5-1.

    5. Remove the eight Phillips-head screws located on the bottom of the chassis.

    6. Slide the base of the unit out by the back. Be careful no to damage the LEDs at the

    front of the unit.

    7. When you have completed work inside the chassis, slide the base of the unit back by

    5.1.3 Adding a Redundant Backplane to Two Units

    Adding a Redundant Backplane requires that you have two CX-U units, stacked one atop

    the other.

    1. Remove the Redundant Backplane from its packaging (if you have not already done

    so).

    2. Carefully line up all connectors located at the rear of the units, and push the backplane

    into place.

    3. Fasten the ten retaining screws, to ensure all interface connectors have solid contact

    with the backplane.

    NOTE: If you also have the protective plates, you need to add them after the back-

    planes. For more information, see Protective Plates on page A-12.

    5.1.4 Removing a Faulty Uni t

    This procedure assumes you have followed the instructions in Adding a Redundant

    Backplane to Two Units on page 5-4 and one of the two units has failed. In a typical

    setup, the top unit handles the traffic (master or main CX-U), except when a failure is

    detected on it. The bottom unit is the backup or slave CX-U.

    For this procedure, call Unit A the failed unit, and Unit B the redundant backup that

    takes over.

    1. It is mandatory that Unit A has been powered off when connecting and disconnecting

    from the backplane. This ensures that any traffic being carried in Unit A will

    automatically shift to Unit B.

    2. Remove the five retaining screws from the Unit A, and put them aside for later use.

    3. Remove the front rackmount screws, then carefully separate the backplane from Unit

    A.

    Removing and installing the top unit can be performed by one person. However,

    removing and installing the bottom unit requires two people. When the front

    rackmount screws have been removed from the bottom unit, it is no longer supported,

    a second person is needed to hold the bottom unit during the procedure.

    4. Replace Unit A with another unit.

    5. Replace the five retaining screws.

    You may consult the Status Active LEDs (shown in Figure 2-2 in Chapter 2) to help

    determine which unit is carrying traffic.

    pair of rails to hold up to ten CX-U units vertically). You will also need a heat deflector.

    NOTE: Vertical mounting of CX-U units are recommended when operating above an

    ambient temperature of25C. The harsh conditions or the cabling on each

    side of the units can limit the air flow within the units.

    The NEBS recommended operation temperature is 5C to 40C.

    To vertically mount a CX-U unit, follow these steps:

    1. Install the fuse panel by fastening the four Phillips screws into place.

    2. Below the fuse panel, install the CX-U vertical mounting rails onto your standard 40/

    44 U rack by fastening the four Phillips screws into place.

    3. Place the CX-U units, one at a time (or, in a redundant setup, two at a time) by

    carefully turning them vertically, making sure the Memotec logo is on the bottom.

    4. Fasten the four retaining screws to the vertical mounting rails.

    5. Repeat until all units are installed (10 units maximum per row).

    6. If you are installing more than ten units, add the heat deflector below the first row of

    ten CX-U units. Tighten all retaining screws to the rack.

    7. Repeat steps 1-6 for the next ten units (if necessary).

    8. Repeat, if necessary, for the last ten units.

    Up to three rows of ten CX-U units can be mounted onto a standard 40/44 U rack. Each

    row should be separated by a heat deflector, ensuring all units receive fresh air from the

    bottom. See Figure 5-12 to see an actual setup.

    A.5 Protective Plates

    You must attach protective metal plates to the back of the unit, directly behind the

    backplanes. These metal plates help to protect the backplanes from any physical damage,

    as well as prevent you from inadvertently shorting them out (for example, with a

    screwdiver), which could cause link interruptions.

    To attach these protective plates, you can re-use the screws that hold the backplanes in

    place. Included in each protective plate kit are metal separators that you must placebetween the backplane and the protective plate.
