China RoHS InformationAll Redback Networks products built on or after March 1, 2007 conform to the People’s Republic of China’s Management Methods for Controlling Pollution by Electronic Information Products (Ministry of Information Industry Order #39), also known as “China RoHS.”

As required by China RoHS, the following tables summarize which of the 6 regulated substances are found in Redback Networks products and their location.

China RoHS also requires that manufacturers determine an “Environmental Protection Use Period” (EPUP), which has been defined as the term during which toxic and hazardous substances or elements contained in electronic information products will not leak out or mutate.

Redback Networks has determined that the EPUP for this product is 25 years from the date of manufacture and indicates this period on the product and/or packaging with the logo shown below.

The date of manufacture can be found on the product packaging label, or determined from the product serial number. The week and year of manufacture can be determined from the 6th though 9th digits of the 14 digit product serial number, xxxxxWWYYxxxxx, where WW represents the week of the year (01 = first week of year) and YY represents the year (07= 2007). For example, 0207 means that the unit was manufactured in the 2nd week of January 2007.

The marking on this product signifies that it meets all relevant European Union directives.

System Description

This chapter provides a functional overview of the SmartEdge® 1200 router that includes the interfaces, system components, features, and typical applications for the system.

It includes the following topics:

• System Overview

• System Components

System Overview

The SmartEdge 1200 router is a carrier-class product with an architecture that supports packetized traffic. The SmartEdge 1200 router can be used as an edge aggregation router and simultaneously as a broadband remote-access server (BRAS) to directly connect customers to the network. It supports a variety of interfaces and vital services, such as routing protocols, quality of service (QoS), and inbound and outbound access control lists (ACLs). New services can easily be added with software upgrades.

Because of the optimized packet forwarding capabilities and support of high-bandwidth uplink interfaces, the SmartEdge 1200 router can also be used in the metropolitan core to aggregate traffic from other routers into the long-haul transit core.

This section includes the following topics:

• Chassis Types

• Specification Summary

• Traffic Card Interfaces

• Packet Mesh Architecture

• Redundancy

• Alarms

• System Status

System Overview


Chassis TypesTable 1-1 lists the versions of the SmartEdge 1200 chassis and how they differ. In all other respects, the chassis are identical.

Specification SummaryTable 1-2 summarizes the general specifications for the SmartEdge 1200 router.

Traffic Card InterfacesThe SmartEdge 1200 router supports a wide variety of interfaces, such as:

• Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) using SONET/SDH OC-3c/STM-1c and OC-12c/STM-4c

• 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-LX, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-T, and 1000Base-ZX; and 10000Base-ER, 10000Base-LR, and 10000Base-SR

Note In the descriptions that follow, the term, controller card, refers to any version of the Cross-Connect Route Processor (XCRP) Controller card (XCRP, XCRP3, XCRP4), unless otherwise noted.

The term, Gigabit Ethernet, applies to any Ethernet traffic card that supports a port speed of 1 Gbps or greater; unless explicitly stated, the speed of any Gigabit Ethernet port is 1 Gbps.

1-2 SmartEdge 1200 Router Hardware Guide

System Overview


Packet Mesh ArchitectureThe SmartEdge 1200 router implements a grid of cross connections in its backplane that allows any traffic card to communicate directly to any other traffic card in the chassis. The feature allows incoming packets to be directly routed from the receiving traffic card to the traffic card that will transmit them to the network. Each traffic card uses a combination of a Packet Mesh ASIC (PMA) and Packet Processing ASICs (PPAs) to perform this function.

RedundancyThe architecture of the system is fully redundant for all traffic-affecting components. Redundancy features include:

• Dual power connections, each with separate A-side and B-side power connections

• 1+1 Automatic Protection Switching (APS) protection for ATM second-generation traffic cards: 4-port ATM OC-3c/STM-1c and Enhanced ATM OC-12c/STM-4c

• Redundant controller cards and redundant file systems

• Redundant external timing sources, such as building integrated timing supply (BITS) or synchronization supply unit (SSU), with internal timing if both sources should fail

AlarmsThe SmartEdge 1200 router supports three levels of alarms—critical, major, and minor:

• A critical alarm alerts the operator to a severe, service-affecting condition. It requires immediate corrective action, regardless of time; for example, a fire.

• A major alarm alerts the operator to a service-affecting hardware or software condition, such as a serious disruption of service, or the malfunction or failure of important circuits. It requires immediate corrective attention and the response of a service engineer; for example, a link failure.

• A minor alarm alerts the operator to a condition that does not have a serious affect on service or on circuits that are not essential to network operation; for example, a carrier line problem for which transmission has been switched to another line.

Note Neither SmartEdge 1200 chassis provides support for traffic cards that require BNC connections. For a list of traffic cards, see Table 1-5.

Note Protection for cards and ports is configurable on a per-port basis; a mix of protected and unprotected ports is supported. Protection features and the types of ports that support APS depend on the release of the software.

System Description 1-3

System Components


System StatusThe system LEDs are located on the fan tray. These LEDs include status indicators for each of the chassis power sources (A1, A2, B1, and B2), alarms (critical, major, and minor), fan status and ACO status, and an alarm cutoff (ACO) button. The ACO button provides one means of silencing an audible alarm; pressing the ACO button silences an audible alarm and lights the ACO LED; pressing the button again turns off the ACO LED and, if the alarm condition has not been corrected, sounds the alarm.

System Components

This section describes the following system components:

• SmartEdge 1200 Chassis

• Controller Cards

• Traffic Cards

SmartEdge 1200 ChassisThe SmartEdge 1200 chassis is designed for mounting in a standard 19- or 23-inch rack. Figure 1-1 shows the standard SmartEdge 1200 chassis; Figure 1-2 shows the SmartEdge 1200n chassis. Main features of the chassis include:

• Chassis Card Cage

• Chassis Cooling

• Chassis Power

Chassis Card CageThe SmartEdge 1200 chassis has a card cage with 14 slots. Two slots are dedicated to the controller cards and 12 slots are available for a flexible combination of traffic cards.

All cards are installed at the front of the chassis. A cable tray provides the means to route the cables from the front of the chassis to the external equipment. The cable tray requires no adjustments regardless of the number and types of installed cables.

The rear of the chassis has connectors for alarm outputs, status inputs, dual external timing inputs for synchronization, and dual RS-232 ports for local connections. Cable brackets at the rear of the chassis provide the means for routing system cables and keeping them orderly.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) jacks are conveniently located on both the front and the rear of the chassis.

Note Support for the ACO button depends on the release of the SmartEdge OS.

Note The SmartEdge OS does not support the alarm, status, and RS-232 dial-up modem ports.

Figure 1-2 NEBS-Compliant SmartEdge 1200n Chassis


System Components


Chassis CoolingCooling for the chassis is provided by the fan tray, which is installed directly above the card slots. Six fans provide the needed air flow from the bottom of the chassis to the top with exhaust at the rear of the chassis. An air filter is installed below the card cage and filters incoming air before it reaches the cards.

A single fan failure does not impact the operation of the system; however, to prevent overheating, the unit must be replaced as soon as possible. To maintain the air flow through the chassis, empty slots have blank cards installed.

Chassis PowerThe SmartEdge 1200 router power architecture has two power zones, each with primary and backup sources. Primary sources are referred to as A sources; backup sources are B sources. A1 refers to the primary power source for zone 1; B1 refers to the backup power source for zone 1. Both zones 1 and 2 must be connected for the chassis to be operational; the connections can be any combination of A and B sources. For a fully redundant power configuration, all four sources must be connected.

Zone 1 sources provide power to slots 1 to 7 in the chassis; zone 2 sources provide power to slots 8 to 14. The chassis fan tray is powered from either zone.

Controller CardsA controller card manages the system; it is responsible for the packet routing protocols, the SmartEdge OS command-line interface (CLI), and communications with a network management system running the NetOp™ Element Management System (EMS) software. The controller card also loads all configuration information necessary for the traffic cards. Controller cards are installed in slots 7 and 8 in the SmartEdge 800 chassis. Controller cards are described in the following sections:

• Controller Card Versions

• Controller Card Features and Functions

Controller Card VersionsThe SmartEdge router supports three versions of the controller cards:

• XCRP Controller card

Two versions of this controller card support either a DS-1 interface for BITS equipment (labeled “XCRP-T1 BITS”) or an E1 interface for SSU equipment (labeled “XCRP-E1 SSU”).

• XCRP3 Controller card

Two versions of this card differ only in the total size of main memory. The interface to BITS or SSU equipment is software selectable.

• XCRP4 Controller card

This controller card supports applications that require high volumes of traffic; it also supports more subscribers than the other controller cards. Unlike the XCRP3 Controller card, the interface to BITS or SSU equipment does not support the transmission of timing data to the external equipment.

System Components


Controller Card Features and FunctionsA controller card has these features and functions:

• Processors

The XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards have two processors. One processor runs low-level software, including device drivers and equipment management software; the second processor runs the routing and broadband remote access server (BRAS) software. The XCRP4 Controller card has four processors: one processor runs the low-level software and the other three processors run the BRAS and routing software.

• Main memory—Synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM), used by the SmartEdge OS shared databases that are accessed by the traffic cards.

• NVRAM with battery

The XCRP3 and XCRP4 Controller cards each includes 512 KB of NVRAM, which stores the current state of the system; because NVRAM is not affected by power failures or system shutdown, the system can restore operations after such events. The NVRAM battery on the XCRP4 Controller card is rechargeable; it is recharged from the power supplied to the SmartEdge router during normal operations. The battery typically lasts more than two years when fully charged and without benefit of being recharged by being powered on.

• Internal, system, real-time, and time-of-day clocks

The internal clock onboard the XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards is a Stratum 3 oscillator at ±4.6 ppm that supports freerun, normal, and holdover modes; the internal clock on an XCRP4 Controller card is a SONET minimum clock (SMC) at ±20.0 ppm in freerun mode and normal modes only.

The system clock refers to the clock that performs system hardware timing functions, regardless of the source of its timing data. Using the SmartEdge OS, you can specify external equipment (external timing mode), the received clock of a traffic card (line timing mode), or the internal clock on the controller card (internal mode) as the source for the system clock.

Note Support for NVRAM depends on the release of the SmartEdge OS.

Table 1-4 XCRP3 and XCRP4 Controller Card Comparison (continued)

Feature XCRP3 XCRP4


System Components


The real-time clock (RTC) on the XCRP3 and XCRP4 Controller cards is initialized before the system is shipped. It is not affected by power failures, system shutdown, or reload. The RTC/NVRAM battery on an XCRP4 Controller card is recharged from the power supplied to the SmartEdge router during normal operations.

By default, the source for the transmit clock for the ports on a traffic card is its onboard clock. Depending on the type of traffic card, the transmit clock for a port on a traffic card can use instead the receive clock derived from an incoming signal to the port or the system clock. Because a port does not interface to the source of the system clock directly, traffic card synchronization is independent of the type of external timing equipment and the version of the controller card installed in the chassis.

The time-of-day clock for a SmartEdge router is implemented in software. When a system with an XCRP3 or XCRP4 Controller card is powered on, the RTC sets the time-of-day clock; otherwise, the time-of-day clock is undefined until it is configured and set using the SmartEdge OS. It is maintained by synchronization with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Periodically, the server updates the RTC on the XCRP3 and XCRP4 Controller cards.

• Support for an external timing connection

All controller cards support a BITS (DS-1) or SSU (E1) interface as a source for the system clock. For the XCRP Controller card, the type of interface is identified by the label suffix on the card: “T1 BITS” for DS-1 and “E1 SSU” for E1; for the XCRP3 and XCRP4 Controller cards, the type of interface is software selectable.

The external timing interfaces allow the system clock operation to be independent of the type of external equipment and the framing of the external line.

• Internal storage for SmartEdge OS files

A controller card has one or two CF cards (Type I), which store SmartEdge OS images and files.

SmartEdge OS storage is organized into three partitions: p0, p1, and /flash. The p0 and p1 partitions each store a system image and its files; the memory on a controller card can be loaded from either partition. The third partition, /flash, stores SmartEdge OS configuration files and other system- and user-created data files.

• Optional CF card

A controller card has an external slot on the front panel in which you can install an optional Type I or Type II CF card. The XCRP4 Controller card supports Type I CF cards only. When installed (the system is shipped with the slot empty), the CF card captures crash dumps and provides an alternate source for loading SmartEdge OS software, if it is not possible to download it over the network.

Note The SmartEdge OS does not support transmission of data to external equipment.

Note The capacity of the CF cards can vary; the CF cards installed in the active and standby controller cards need not have the same capacity.

Caution Risk of data loss. You can corrupt the system if you attempt to install a CF card not obtained from Redback® because these items have not been tested with the SmartEdge router. To reduce the risk, use only the CF cards provided by Redback.

Note If a CF card is installed in the active controller card, the standby controller card, if installed, must also have a CF card installed; however, for the XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards, the CF card types (Type I or Type II) need not match.


System Components


• Two types of operations ports for system management access—Craft and Ethernet

— The XCRP and XCRP3 controller cards have two Craft ports, labeled “CRAFT 1” and “CRAFT 2”; the XCRP4 has a single Craft port, labeled “CRAFT”. Each port has a DB-9 connector and provides an RS-232 connection to a local console terminal, a terminal server, or a modem. The CRAFT 2 port provides access to the SmartEdge OS CLI for configuring and monitoring tasks.

— All controller cards have a single Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector that runs at 100 Mbps and provides a connection to an Ethernet device such as a switch or hub. This port provides access to the SmartEdge OS CLI from either a local or remote management workstation for configuring and monitoring tasks. Using this port, the system can also communicate with a remote workstation that is running the NetOp EMS software.

• Temperature and voltage monitoring

Temperature is monitored at both air inlet and air outlet locations on a controller card; an over-temperature interrupt signals the SmartEdge OS when the temperature rises above safe operating conditions. Voltages are also monitored and reported to the SmartEdge OS. Administrators can display both temperature and voltage data using commands in the SmartEdge OS CLI.

• Fully redundant configuration

— When two controller cards are installed in the SmartEdge 1200 chassis, one functions as the active controller and the other card functions as the standby controller, providing full redundancy for high-reliability networking requirements. In the event of a controller card failure, the redundant card automatically becomes the active controller, thereby avoiding any unnecessary service disruption in the network.

— Redundancy extends to the console connections on the controller cards: the console ports can each be connected to a terminal server, and the Ethernet management ports can be connected to the same Ethernet hub, with individual cables.

— The software automatically switches to the external timing secondary source should the primary source fail. If both sources fail, the active controller card uses an internal timing source.

Note The CRAFT 2 port is the only enabled Craft port on the XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards. It is enabled on both the active and standby controller cards.

Note Support for 1 Gbps speed of the port on the XCRP4 Controller card depends on the release of the SmartEdge OS.

Note The Ethernet management port on the standby controller card is disabled unless the card becomes the active controller card.

Note If you upgrade the active controller card with a new software release, the active controller upgrades the standby controller.

ATM OC-12c/STM-4c Intermediate Reach Card



The Enhanced ATM OC-12c/STM-4c IR card supports one SONET or SDH SMF port, which operates at 622 Mbps, and can be used either as optical line or optical trunk interfaces. In addition, the Enhanced ATM OC-12c/STM-4c IR card can be used to support subscriber circuits. Figure 2-1 shows the front panel of the Enhanced ATM OC-12c/STM-4c IR card.

Figure 2-1 ATM OC-12c/STM-4c IR Card

The card uses two segmentation and reassembly (SAR) devices. The ingress SAR performs the reassembly function on the incoming ATM cell stream from the physical (PHY) device. The egress SAR performs the segmentation function to create the corresponding outgoing ATM cell stream.

The hardware provides header error control (HEC) framing for the port. The transmit clock can be derived either from the active controller card or from the onboard local oscillator.

The second-generation ATM OC-12 card up to 16,000 ATM permanent virtual circuits (PVCs).

The SAR devices also support enhanced queuing and shaping functions for more granular control over traffic management with two, four, or eight distinct class of service queues for each ATM PVC, and allow a mix of priority- and class-based queuing for each ATM PVC. These additional capabilities allow the card to support subscriber circuits. For information about ATM PVC and traffic management support, see the Ports, Circuits, and Tunnels Configuration Guide for the SmartEdge OS.

Note The Enhanced ATM OC-12c/STM-4c IR card is also referred to as a second-generation ATM OC-12 card.

The ATM OC-3c/STM-1c Intermediate Reach (IR) card supports four SONET or SDH SMF ports, each of which operates at 155 Mbps, and can be used either as optical line or optical trunk interfaces. Figure 2-2 shows the front panel of the ATM OC-3c/STM-1c IR card. A low-density version provides two ports that are enabled through software entitlement.

Figure 2-2 ATM OC-3c/STM-1c IR Card

The card uses two SAR devices, which perform the reassembly function on the incoming ATM cell stream from the PHY device and the segmentation function to create the corresponding outgoing ATM cell stream.

The hardware provides HEC framing for each port; the transmit clock can be derived either from the active controller card or from the onboard local oscillator.

The second-generation ATM OC-3c/STM-1c card has increased memory for each port and offers higher performance and support for more ATM virtual paths (VPs) and PVCs than an earlier version of the card. The SAR devices support two, four, or eight distinct class of service queues for each ATM PVC, allowing a mix of priority- and class-based queuing for each ATM PVC.

For information about ATM VPs and PVC support, see the Ports, Circuits, and Tunnels Configuration Guide for the SmartEdge OS. A low-density version of this card provides two ports that are enabled through software entitlement.

Note The 4-port version is referred to as a second-generation ATM OC-3 card.

Caution Risk of equipment damage. The intrabuilding ports of the traffic cards are suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intrabuilding ports of the traffic cards must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use an intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.




Electrical SpecificationsTable 3-2 lists the electrical specifications for the SmartEdge 1200 router.

Electrical Power ConnectionsThe SmartEdge 1200 router power architecture has connectors for two power zones, each with primary and backup sources.Zone 1 powers slots 1 to 7; zone 2 powers slots 8 to 14. Both zones provide power to the fan tray. Both zones 1 and 2 must be connected for the chassis to be operational.

Primary sources are designated as A sources; backup sources are B sources. A1 refers to the primary power source for zone 1; B1 refers to the backup power source for zone 1. For a fully redundant power configuration, all four sources must be connected. Table 3-3 lists all possible power configurations

Table 3-4 lists the possible power conditions that result in a nonoperable SmartEdge 1200 chassis. These conditions can occur for either or both of the following causes:

• The original power configuration was not fully redundant.

• Both the primary and the backup power source for a zone has failed.

Each power connection must be to a 50-ampere source. DC power connections require copper wire of a size suitable for the installation in accordance with the National Electrical Code (in the United States) or applicable local jurisdiction (outside the United States) installation requirements. An external fuse panel, either a standalone unit or incorporated in a DC power supply system, or a circuit breaker panel, is required for power on and power off control.

Table 3-5 lists the operating and inrush current at –48 VDC for active traffic cards.

Slots 1 to 7 have redundant power.Slots 8 to 14 have no power.

Select the RackYou can mount the SmartEdge 1200 chassis in a standard 19- or 23-inch rack.

The SmartEdge 1200s chassis requires 11 RUs (an RU is 1.75 inches [4.50 cm]); the SmartEdge 1200n chassis requires 13 RUs. The air ramp at the bottom of the rack requires two RUs; a standalone external fuse panel requires one RU.

Figure 3-1 illustrates the installation of three SmartEdge 1200s chassis in a 42-RU rack. In this installation, there are 6 RUs of empty space at the top of the rack in which you can install other equipment, such as a terminal server.

Figure 3-1 Standard 1200 Chassis in a 42 RU Rack

Note Brackets for the 23-inch rack are not shipped with the chassis but are available from Redback in the bracket spares kit.

Note Redback does not supply fuse panels.




Figure 3-2 illustrates the installation of three SmartEdge 1200n chassis in a 45-RU rack. In this installation, there are three RUs of empty space at the rack.

In either rack, the lowermost air ramp is required; the upper air ramp that is an integral part of the chassis also serves as the lower air ramp for the chassis installed above it.

Figure 3-2 NEBS-Compliant SmartEdge 1200 Chassis in a 42 RU Rack

Caution Risk of equipment damage. In a rack that has not been stabilized, the chassis can cause a rack to overbalance. To reduce the risk, never install the chassis in a rack that has not been stabilized by being bolted to the floor and to the ceiling and always select a mounting position that is suitable to the type of rack in which the chassis is being installed.




Select the Installation MethodThe SmartEdge 1200 chassis is heavy, as much as 110 lb (50 kg) when all slots have cards installed, and somewhat unwieldy, so that when planning the installation, consideration must be given to how the chassis can best be installed at the site you have chosen. Three installation scenarios are:

• Lighten the chassis as much as possible before installing in the rack.

The installation can be performed by two people without additional aid if the fan tray is removed prior to installation. The effective weight of the chassis is reduced to 55 lb (25 kg).

• Use a power lifting device to position the chassis in the rack.

• Use three people to install the chassis in the rack.

The installation procedure for each scenario is provided in the “Install the Chassis” section in Chapter 4, “Installing the Hardware.”

WarningsReview the following warnings before proceeding with the installation:

• DC Power Source Warnings

• Equipment and Personal Safety Warnings

DC Power Source Warnings

Warning Risk of electrical shock. Because a system is fully powered on after all power connections are made, it can cause shock if a power cable is disconnected from the chassis. To reduce the risk, a readily accessible disconnect device, such as a fuse in a fuse panel, must be provided in the fixed wiring for each DC power source. It must be suitable for the rated voltage and current specified.

Warning Risk of electrical shock. Safe operation of this equipment requires connection to a ground point. To prevent possible injury from voltages on the telecommunications network, disconnect all telecommunications network lines before disconnecting the unit from the ground point.

Warning Risk of electrical shock. The system uses DC power sources, which can cause severe injury. To reduce the risk, the DC power sources must be installed only in restricted access areas (dedicated equipment rooms, equipment closets, or the like) in accordance with Articles 110-17, 110-26, and 110-27 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Connect the chassis to a –48 VDC source that is reliably connected to earth.


Selecting the Type of Management Access


Equipment and Personal Safety Warnings


You will likely use different methods to implement management access to the system during initial startup and reload operations and during normal operations, although technically the same methods might be used. Before gathering the items needed to complete the hardware installation, you need to decide which methods you will use for each type of connection, so that the necessary terminals or PCs, LAN equipment, modems, and cables are available. Table 3-10 lists the equipment requirements for each type of connection.

The following sections describe the types of management access in detail:

• Access During the Initial Startup and Reload Operations

• Access During Normal Operations

• Management Access Options

Warning Risk of electrical shock. After the power cables are connected to the chassis and the fuse panel, the system is fully powered on; there is no power switch. To reduce the risk, always remove the fuses in the fuse panel for all power sources to the chassis power zones (A1 and A2, B1 and B2) before connecting the power cables to the chassis.

Warning Risk of electrical shock. Improper grounding can result in an electrical shock. To reduce the risk, this equipment must be connected to a protective ground in accordance with the instructions provided in this guide.

Warning Risk of electrical shock. There are mechanical and electrical shock hazards present throughout the system if one or more of the cards is removed. To reduce the risk, only qualified personnel are allowed to service the system.

Laser Risk of severe damage to your eyes. All versions of the optical cards are Class 1 products, which use lasers to convert electrical signals to optical signals that can damage your eyes. To reduce the risk when handling these optical cards, keep the connectors covered until you are ready to connect the fiber-optic cables. When you remove a cover, do not stare into the connector or directly view the laser beam emerging from the connector.

Warning Risk of personal injury. This equipment does not provide safety isolation between any port that is connected to a digital network termination point and any other port to which terminal equipment may be connected. To reduce the risk, disconnect the telecommunications network cables before removing the card to which they are connected.

Note In the descriptions that follow, the term, controller card, refers to the Cross-Connect Route Processor (XCRP) or the XCRP Version 3 (XCRP3) Controller card, unless otherwise noted.




Access During the Initial Startup and Reload OperationsDuring the initial startup, only the console port (labeled “Craft” on the XCRP4 and “Craft 2” on the XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards) is operable until you have configured the Ethernet management port (labeled “ENET MGMT” on the XCRP4 and “ENET” on the XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards). During a reload operation, the management port is disabled until the initial stage of the reload is complete; all messages displayed during the reload are sent to the console port.

You access the SmartEdge 1200 router with a terminal connected to the console port, either directly or through a terminal server. For more information on configuring the console and Ethernet management ports, see the Basic System Configuration Guide for the SmartEdge OS.

Access During Normal OperationsAfter you have configured the management port, you can use one or more of the following options to provide management access:

• A local management workstation, using a connection to the Ethernet management port on a controller card

• A remote management workstation, using a routed or bridged connection to the Ethernet management port on a controller card

• A local console terminal with a direct connection to the Craft port on a controller card

• A remote console terminal with a connection to the Craft port on a controller card, using a terminal server or a modem

For redundancy, we recommend using two different methods (for example, a remote workstation and a remote console terminal with a connection to a terminal server). Further, if the configuration of the SmartEdge 1200 router includes redundant controller cards, you should use the same means of access to connect each controller card, so that consistent management access, despite a failure, is guaranteed.

Getting Started


Site and Installation Considerations• Maximum recommended operating temperature

The maximum recommended long-term operating temperature for the SmartEdge 1200 system is 104°F (40°C). Determine a suitable operating environment based on this recommendation.

• Elevated operating ambient temperature

If the chassis is installed in a closed or multiunit rack, the operating temperature of the rack environment can be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Remember this condition when you install the chassis.

• Reduced airflow

Install the SmartEdge 1200 chassis in the rack so that the airflow required for the safe operation of the equipment is not compromised: always install an air ramp below the chassis if it is the lowest chassis in the rack. (Do not install any other equipment below the chassis.)

• Mechanical loading

Ensure that you do not create a potentially hazardous condition from uneven loading when you select the mounting position in the rack for the SmartEdge 1200 chassis.

• Circuit overloading

Consider the effect that overloading a circuit might have on over-current protection and supply wiring.

• Reliable grounding

Maintain reliable grounding for the SmartEdge 1200 chassis and all rack-mounted equipment; give particular attention to the supply circuits.

General SafetyFollow these guidelines to ensure a safe working environment:

• Keep the installation area clear and free of dust both during and after the installation.

• Keep all tools and chassis components out of walkways.

• Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or other items that can get caught in the chassis or blower tray.

• Wear safety glasses at all times.

Electrical Precautions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, follow these basic guidelines:

• Carefully examine the installation site for such possible hazards as damp floors, ungrounded power extension cables, or missing safety grounds before attempting the installation of the system.

• Disconnect all power before installing the system; never assume that power has been completely disconnected before beginning the installation of the system.

Warning Risk of personal injury. The chassis contains potentially hazardous voltages. To reduce the risk, do not attempt to access any component inside the chassis. There are no user-serviceable components inside the chassis.

Installing the Hardware 4-3

Mounting the Chassis


• Do not perform any modifications to the system that can create a potential hazard to people or make the equipment unsafe.

• Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.

• Ensure all fasteners for system and traffic cards and other system components are tightened according to the guidelines provided in this guide.

Reducing the Risk of ESD Damage


To mount the SmartEdge 1200 chassis, perform the following sequence of tasks:

1. Select the Chassis Position in the Rack

2. Select the Chassis Alignment

3. Install the Chassis Mounting Brackets

4. Install the Chassis

You must also install or have available an external fuse panel, either a standalone unit or incorporated in a DC power supply system, or circuit breaker panel, to be used with the SmartEdge 1200 router. We recommend that the panel provide separate connectors for all power zones (A1, A2, B1, B2), so that you can take advantage of the power redundancy provided by the SmartEdge 1200 architecture.

Caution Risk of equipment damage. The system components contain electrostatic-sensitive devices. ESD damage can occur when electronic components are improperly handled. This damage can result in complete or intermittent failures of SmartEdge router components. Follow these simple guidelines at all times to reduce the risk of ESD damage to any of the SmartEdge router components:• Prior to handling any of the system components, always put on an ESD wrist or ankle strap,

ensuring that it makes good contact with the skin.• Connect the wrist strap to any proper grounding surface. For convenience, the

SmartEdge 1200 chassis provides two connections for an ESD wrist strap on the front of the chassis.

• Avoid touching its printed circuit board, subassemblies, or any connector pins. Always handle all cards by their ejectors or sides. Place a card on an antistatic surface or in a static shielding bag when not installed in the chassis.

• Avoid any contact between a card and your clothing.




Select the Chassis Position in the RackDecide where in the rack to position the chassis. Ensure that you position the chassis for expansion, given these measurements:

• The SmartEdge 1200s chassis requires 11 rack units (RUs). (An RU is 1.75 inches [4.50 cm].) The SmartEdge 1200n chassis requires 13 RUs.

• If you install the chassis at the bottom of the rack, you must install a separate air ramp below the chassis. This air ramp requires two RUs.

• A standalone external fuse panel requires one RU.

Figure 4-1 illustrates the installation of three SmartEdge 1200s chassis in a single 42-RU rack. In this installation, there are 6 RUs of empty space at the top of the rack in which you can install other equipment, such as a terminal server.

Figure 4-1 Fully Loaded 42 RU Rack Configuration





Select the Chassis AlignmentRegardless of rack width and height, mounting positions for the SmartEdge 1200 chassis include:

• Flush mount—The front of the chassis extends approximately 6.1 inches (15.4 cm) beyond the front of the rack.

• Extended mount—The front of the chassis extends approximately 7.2 inches (18.3 cm) beyond the front of the rack.

• Centered mount—The chassis extends approximately 10.5 inches (26.7 cm) beyond the front of the rack.

Figure 4-2 shows these mounting positions.

Figure 4-2 Options for Mounting the Chassis

Note the following points:

• The same chassis mounting brackets accommodate each of these mounting options; the brackets are simply attached to the chassis in different positions.

• The chassis can be mounted front- or rear-facing in any of the mounting positions.

• Either bracket can be attached to either side of the chassis.

Note Because the chassis extends beyond the front of the rack in all mounting positions, a rack with a front door might not be suitable for the installation unless the door is removed.




Install the Chassis Mounting BracketsA pair of chassis mounting brackets for a 19-inch rack are shipped with the chassis. Each bracket requires four 10-32 x 0.25-inch flat-head screws.

Perform the following steps to install either type of bracket:

1. Position a mounting bracket against one side of the chassis, lining up four of the screw holes in the bracket with four of the screw holes in the side of the chassis, according to the mounting option you have selected. Note the proper orientation for installing the brackets in Figure 4-3, Figure 4-4, and Figure 4-5.

2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, attach the bracket to the chassis with four of the screws provided with the mounting bracket; tighten each screw using 15.0 inch-lbs torque (1.7 Newton-meters) maximum.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to attach the second bracket to the other side of the chassis.


Note Brackets for the 23-inch rack are not shipped with the chassis but are available from Redback in the bracket spares kit.

Caution Risk of equipment damage. Failure to use the proper screws to attach the mounting brackets to the SmartEdge router chassis and the brackets to the rack can damage the chassis. To reduce the risk, always use the number and type of screws specified in the instructions.

Figure 4-5 Installing Chassis Brackets for Centered Mount Position




Install the ChassisTo install the SmartEdge 1200 chassis in the rack, you need eight 12-24 or equivalent screws. Perform the following steps, depending on which installation scenario you are following:

• Using Two Installers and Lightening the Chassis

• Using Three Installers for a Fully-Loaded Chassis

• Using a Power Lifter for a Fully-Loaded Chassis

Using Two Installers and Lightening the ChassisPerform the following steps when there are only two installers to install the chassis In this scenario the two installers lift the chassis into the rack; then one installer steadies it from the rear while the second installer installs the rack mounting screws.

1. Move the heavy duty cart so that the rear of the chassis is closest to the rack.

2. Lighten the chassis by removing the fan tray:

Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screw on the front of the fan tray. Gently slide it out of the chassis and set it aside.

3. Remove any installed controller and traffic cards:

a. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screws on the front panel of a card.

b. Lift up the top ejector lever and push down on the bottom ejector lever on the front panel to disengage the card from the system backplane; perform these actions on both levers simultaneously to avoid damage.

c. Carefully slide the card out of the chassis, and place it in an antistatic bag.

d. Make a note of the card and the slot from which you removed it or tag each card with its slot number.

e. Repeat step a through step d for all installed cards.

4. Create temporary rest points for the chassis.

Partially insert two of the 12-24 screws in the holes in the rack just below those that you intend to align with the lowest screw holes in the mounting bracket. You rest the mounting brackets on these temporary rest points after you have lifted the chassis into the rack. See Figure 4-6.

5. With one person at the rear of the rack and one at the front of the chassis, lift the chassis into the rack; let the mounting brackets rest on the two screws with the person at the rear of the rack steadying the chassis.

Warning Risk of personal injury. After removal of the fan tray and the controller and traffic cards, the empty chassis weighs almost 55 lb (25 kg) and can cause injury if one person attempts to lift or move it. To reduce the risk, do not lift or move the chassis without the aid of another trained person; always follow the procedures at this installation site for safely lifting heavy objects.




Figure 4-6 Using Rest Points for Chassis Installation

6. Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure the chassis to the rack with eight 12-24 or equivalent screws; tighten each screw using 30.0 inch-lbs torque (3.4 Newton-meters) maximum.

7. Remove the two screws you used as rest points.

8. Insert the fan tray into the chassis and tighten the captive screw.

Proceed to the “Install the Air Ramp Mounting Brackets” section to continue the installation.

Caution Risk of equipment damage. Do not grasp the power safety cover, the cable tray, the opening for the fan tray, or any slot opening as a hand hold when lifting or lowering the chassis because neither any of these components nor any opening can bear the strain induced by the chassis weight. The cover and cable tray can break away from the chassis, thereby causing the chassis to fall. The chassis slots can warp and prevent the correct installation of the cards. To reduce the risk when you lift or lower the chassis, always grasp the chassis by its underside edges and not by the covers or the interior partition.




Using Three Installers for a Fully-Loaded ChassisPerform the following steps when there are three people to install the chassis. In this scenario three installers lift the chassis into the rack; then two of them steady it while the third installer installs the rack mounting screws.


2. Create temporary rest points for the chassis.

Partially insert two of the 12-24 screws in the holes in the rack just below those that you intend to align with the lowest screw holes in the mounting bracket. You rest the mounting brackets on these temporary rest points after you have lifted the chassis into the rack. See Figure 4-6.

3. With one installer at the rear of the rack and one at each side of the chassis, lift the chassis into the rack; let the mounting brackets rest on the two screws with the installer at each side of the chassis steadying it.


Proceed to the “Install the Air Ramp Mounting Brackets” section to continue the installation.

Using a Power Lifter for a Fully-Loaded ChassisPerform the following steps when you have a power lifter to position and support the chassis in the rack:


2. Use the power lifter to position the chassis in the rack.


Warning Risk of personal injury. The fully loaded chassis weighs almost 110 lb (50 kg) and can cause injury if only two people attempt to lift or move it. To reduce the risk, do not lift or move the chassis without the aid of another trained person; always follow the procedures at this installation site for safely lifting heavy objects.

Caution Risk of equipment damage. Do not grasp the power safety cover, fan tray, or cable tray as a hand hold when lifting or lowering the chassis because none of these components can bear the strain induced by the chassis weight. They can break away from the chassis, thereby causing the chassis to fall. To reduce the risk when you lift or lower the chassis, always grasp the chassis by its underside edges and not by the covers or the interior partition.


Mounting the Removable Air Ramp



You must install a removable air ramp below the chassis when you install the chassis at the bottom of the rack or when you install other equipment below the chassis. This additional air ramp is needed for proper ventilation; see Figure 4-1 on page 4-5.

A pair of mounting brackets for a 19-inch rack and a pair of bracket extenders for a 23-inch rack, are available for each air ramp. The bracket for the standard version of the air ramp requires two 10-32 x 0.25-inch flat-head screws; that for the NEBS version of the air ramp requires three 10-32 x 0.25-inch flat-head screws. The bracket extender requires xxx 10-32 x 0.25-inch flat-head screws.

The following sections describe the tasks to mount the removable air ramp at the bottom of the rack:

• Install the Air Ramp Mounting Brackets

• Install the Removable Air Ramp

Install the Air Ramp Mounting BracketsPerform the following steps to install either version of the air ramp mounting brackets:

1. If you are installing the air ramp in a 23-inch rack, attach a bracket extender to each 19-inch bracket, using

2. Position a mounting bracket against one side of the removable air ramp, lining up two of the screw holes in the bracket with two of the screw holes in the side of the air ramp. Ensure that the bracket position corresponds to the position of the chassis mounting brackets. See Figure 4-7, Figure 4-8, and Figure 4-9 for these details.

Figure 4-7 Installing Air Ramp Brackets for Flush Mount Position

Caution Risk of equipment damage. Improper installation of a removable air ramp can cause loss of cooling and damage a SmartEdge 1200 router. To reduce the risk and ensure proper cooling of a SmartEdge 1200 router and any adjacent equipment, always mount the air ramp at the same mounting depth as the SmartEdge 1200 chassis above it.




Figure 4-8 Installing Air Ramp Brackets for Extended Mount Position

Figure 4-9 Installing Air Ramp Brackets for Centered Mount Position

3. Using a Phillips screwdriver, secure the bracket to the air ramp; tighten each screw using 15.0 inch-lbs torque (1.7 Newton-meters) maximum.

4. If you are installing the NEBS version of the air ramp, attach the baffle to the bracket, using the third screw, as shown in the figures. Tighten each screw using 15.0 inch-lbs torque (1.7 Newton-meters) maximum.

5. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the second bracket on the other side of the air ramp.




Install the Removable Air RampTo install the removable air ramp, you need four 12-24 or equivalent screws. Perform the following steps:

1. Position the air ramp just below the SmartEdge 1200 chassis so that the screw holes in the air ramp mounting brackets are aligned with the screw holes in the rack just below the chassis; see Figure 4-10.

2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, secure the air ramp to the rack or extension hardware with four 12-24 or equivalent screws; tighten each screw using 15.0 inch-lbs torque (1.7 Newton-meters) maximum.

Figure 4-10 Positioning the Removable Air Ramp


Connecting the Chassis Ground and Power Cables



The SmartEdge 1200 chassis has terminal studs for the primary and backup power sources for zone 1 and 2; these terminal studs are located on four power filters that are mounted on the rear of the chassis. The power cables are connected to separate connectors on the external fuse panel or circuit breaker panel. There are four connectors for ground cables, also located on the rear of the chassis, one for each power source.

Figure 4-11 shows the location of the power and chassis ground connectors. A safety cover, secured to the chassis by tabs and captive Phillips screws, prevents the cables from being deliberately disconnected and the connectors from being accidentally touched.

The chassis requires AWG #4 wire for power and chassis ground cables. Compression lugs and locking washer nuts are shipped with the chassis; these compression lugs are intended for AWG #4 cables only.

Figure 4-11 Connecting Power

The following sections describe the tasks to connect the chassis ground and power cables:

• Connect the Chassis Ground Cables

• Connect the Power Cables

Connect the Chassis Ground CablesThe back panel of the SmartEdge 1200 chassis has two connectors for chassis ground cables, one for each power zone. Each connector consists of a pair of 1/4-20 UNC terminal studs, which are labeled “FRAME GND”. These are located at the rear of the chassis.

The chassis ground cable must be AWG #4 and installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (in the United States) or applicable local jurisdiction (outside the United States) installation requirements.

Note The distance between the terminal studs in each pair is 0.625 in (1.588 cm).




Perform the following steps to connect the chassis ground cables:

1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the captive screws on the power safety cover; then lift the cover up and away from the chassis to disengage the tabs on the top edge of the cover from the slots in the chassis.

2. Attach a compression lug to one end of a chassis ground cable:

a. Insert one end of the chassis ground cable in the lug.

b. Slip the tool over the compression lug and squeeze the handles several times to grip the connector.

c. Continue to squeeze the handles until the automatic tool release indicates a completed compression.

3. Place the connector over the studs labeled “FRAME GND” on either side of the chassis; choose the side that is most convenient for the installation site; see Figure 4-11 on page 4-16.

4. Secure the connection with a pair of locking washer nuts; with a 7/16-inch torque wrench, tighten the locking washer nuts using 25.0 inch-lbs torque (2.8 Newton-meters) maximum.

5. Ensure that the other end of the cable is connected to an appropriate ground point.

6. Repeat step 2 to step 5 for the other power zone.

Connect the Power CablesThe SmartEdge 1200 chassis has four power filters mounted on the back panel of the chassis: one filter for each of the four power sources. Each filter has two connectors, labeled “–48V” and “RETURN” for a pair of power cables. Each power cable must be AWG #4 and installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (in the United States) or applicable local jurisdiction (outside the United States) installation requirements. The following DC power source warnings and cautions apply when connecting DC power sources:

Warning Risk of electrical shock. The system uses DC power sources, which can cause severe injury. To reduce the risk, the DC power sources must be installed only in restricted access areas (dedicated equipment rooms, equipment closets, or the like) in accordance with Articles 110-17, 110-26, and 110-27 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Connect the chassis to a –48 VDC source that is reliably connected to earth.

Warning Risk of electrical shock. Because a system is fully powered on after all power connections are made, it can cause shock if a power cable is disconnected from the chassis. To reduce the risk, a readily accessible disconnect device, such as a fuse in a fuse panel, must be provided in the fixed wiring for each DC power source. It must be suitable for the rated voltage and current specified.

Warning Risk of electrical shock. Safe operation of this equipment requires connection to a ground point. To reduce the risk of possible injury from voltages on the telecommunications network, disconnect all telecommunications network lines before disconnecting the unit from the ground point.




Perform the following steps to connect a pair of power cables to a filter:

1. Attach a compression lug to one end of a power cable:

a. Insert one end of the power cable in the lug.

b. Slip the tool over the compression lug and squeeze the handles several times to grip the connector.

c. Continue to squeeze the handles until the automatic tool release indicates a completed compression.

2. Connect a power cable as follows; see Figure 4-11 on page 4-16:

a. Place the connector over the terminal studs labeled “–48V” on the power filter on the right side (the A-side) of the chassis and secure it with the pair of locking washer nuts.

b. With a 7/16-inch torque wrench, tighten the locking washer nuts using 25.0 inch-lbs torque (2.8 Newton-meters) maximum.

3. Repeat step 1 to step 2 to connect the second power cable to the terminal stud labeled “RETURN”.

4. Repeat step 1 to step 3 to connect the power cables to each of the other power filters.

5. Install the power safety cover; see Figure 4-12:

a. Insert the tabs on the top edge of the safety cover into the slots on the rear of the chassis.

b. Push on the lower edge of the cover so that the captive screws are inserted in the screw holes.

c. Thumb tighten the captive screws; then, using a Phillips screwdriver, secure the safety cover to the rear of the chassis, using 5.0 inch-lbs torque (0.6 Newton-meters) maximum.

Warning Risk of electrical shock. This equipment uses –48 VDC power, which can cause shock if inadequate power sources are connected to it. To reduce the risk, verify that the power sources for the SmartEdge router meet the power specifications provided in the “Warnings” section in Chapter 3, “Preparing for Installation,” and ensure that DC power cables meet the specifications provided in the “Physical Specifications” section in the same chapter before connecting the power cables.

Warning Risk of electrical shock. After the power cables are connected to the chassis and the fuse panel, the system is fully powered on; there is no power switch. To reduce the risk, always remove the fuses for both the A-side and B-side power sources in the fuse panel before connecting the power cables to the chassis.

Warning Risk of electrical shock. Improper grounding can result in an electrical shock. To reduce the risk, this equipment must be connected to a protective ground in accordance with the instructions provided in this guide.



Installing the Controller and Traffic Cards


Figure 4-12 Installing the Power Safety Cover


After the chassis ground and power cables have been connected to the chassis, you are ready to install the controller and traffic cards. If you need help identifying the cards, please see the card illustrations provided in Chapter 2, “Traffic Card Descriptions.” You then install blank cards in any remaining empty slots.

To install the controller and traffic cards, perform the following tasks:

• Select the Slots

• Install the Cards

• Install Blank Cards

• Install Transceivers for Gigabit Ethernet Cards

• Install a CF Card




Select the SlotsCard slots in the SmartEdge 1200 chassis are numbered sequentially from left-to-right as you face the front of the chassis; see Figure 4-13.

Figure 4-13 SmartEdge 1200 Card Slots

Observe the following configuration rules when installing the cards:

• Slots 7 and 8 are reserved for controller cards only.

• Gigabit Ethernet cards can be installed in any of slots 1 to 6 and 9 to 14.

• The 20-port Gigabit Ethernet card requires two adjacent slots.

Table 4-2 summarizes the slot assignments for the SmartEdge 1200 cards.

Note When you first power on the system, the active controller card is in slot 7. Thereafter, the slot changes whenever a switchover occurs.

1. Put on an ESD wrist strap (one is shipped with the system), and attach it to an appropriate grounded surface.

2. Select the slot for the card using the configuration rules provided in the “Select the Slots” subsection.

3. Remove the card from its antistatic bag. Save the bag for later use.

4. Align the card with the card guides at the top and bottom of the slot.

5. Position the ejector levers away from the front panel and then carefully slide the card into the slot. The ejector levers rotate as the latching mechanisms engage the walls of the slot and the connectors on the card are inserted into the connectors on the backplane; see Figure 4-14.

6. Push on the ejector levers until they are parallel with the front panel; this action fully seats the connectors with the backplane.

7. Secure the card in the chassis by tightening the screw at the top and bottom of the front panel. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten each screw using 5.0 inch-lbs torque (0.6 Newton-meters) maximum.

Repeat steps 2 to 7 for each card to be installed.

Caution Risk of ESD damage. The system cards contain electrostatic-sensitive devices. To reduce the risk of ESD damage, always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap when handling a card. Avoid touching its printed circuit board, subassemblies, or any connector pins.

Note Do not attach the wrist strap to a painted surface; an ESD convenience jack is located on the front of the fan tray.


Caution Risk of equipment damage. Because of the high density and compact design of the SmartEdge 1200 router, the underside of the card might rub against the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gasket of the card in the adjacent slot during card insertion, and potentially damage the card. To reduce this risk, if you feel any resistance (the card does not slide smoothly without effort), or hear the card touching the components on the card installed in the adjacent slot at the left, do not force the card into the slot. Ensure that the card is perpendicular to the slot. If you feel any resistance, slightly shift the left edge of the front panel to the right until it can slide easily into the slot.




Figure 4-14 Installing a Card

Install Blank CardsWhen all cards have been installed, insert a blank card into every empty slot, and tighten the captive screws at the top and bottom of the front panel.

Install Transceivers for Gigabit Ethernet CardsGigabit Ethernet ports require a gigabit interface converter (GBIC), a small form-factor pluggable (SFP), or a 10-Gbps SFP (XFP) transceiver in each port. Table 4-3 lists the transceiver type for each Gigabit Ethernet card.

Caution Risk of equipment damage. SmartEdge router cards can be damaged by lack of cooling. To reduce the risk, always insert a blank card in each empty slot to ensure proper air flow through the chassis.


Traffic Card Transceiver



Gigabit Ethernet 1020 (10- and 20-port versions) SFP

10 Gigabit Ethernet (1-port, 10-Gbps) XFP

Caution Risk of data loss. You can corrupt the system if you attempt to install transceivers (GBICs, SFPs, or XFPs) that are not approved by Redback® because these items have not been tested with the SmartEdge router. To reduce the risk, install only the transceivers approved by Redback.




Perform the following steps to install a transceiver of any type:

1. Put on an antistatic wrist strap (one is shipped with the system), and attach it to an appropriate grounded surface.

2. Ensure that the latching mechanism is closed.

3. With the transceiver connectors aligned with the RX and TX labels on the front panel of the traffic card (as shown in Figure 4-15, Figure 4-16, or Figure 4-17), slide the transceiver into the opening for the port until the rear connector is seated and the locking mechanism snaps into place.

4. Remove the dust cover if you are installing an optical transceiver.

Figure 4-15 Installing a GBIC Transceiver

Caution Risk of ESD damage. The transceivers contain electrostatic-sensitive devices. To reduce the risk of ESD damage, always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap when handling any transceiver. Avoid touching its connector pins.


Note The labels for a transceiver’s TX and RX connectors vary by vendor. An arrow, which can be incised on the case, usually indicates the traffic direction.




Figure 4-16 Installing an SFP Transceiver

Figure 4-17 Installing an XFP Transceiver




Install a CF CardEach controller card has an external slot on the front panel in which you can install an optional Type I or Type II CF card.

To install an CF card, perform the following steps:

1. If you are installing the CF card in an XCRP4 Controller card, open the door that covers the CF Type 1 slot until it “snaps” open.

2. Hold the CF card so that its pin-hole side faces the slot in the controller front panel.

3. Vertically align the CF card as close to the left edge of the slot as possible and perpendicular to it; see Figure 4-18.

4. Slowly insert the CF card in the slot. If the CF card does not engage the connectors with approximately 0.50 inches (1.27 cm) of the CF card outside the slot, do not continue. Remove the CF card and repeat this step.

5. If you are installing the CF card in an XCRP4 Controller card, close the door.

After insertion, the system automatically recognizes the CF card and begins to mount it. The CF Active LED begins to blink. When the CF Active LED is unlit, you can begin using the CF card.

Note If you install a CF card in the active controller card, the standby controller card, if installed, must also have a CF card installed; however, the CF card types (Type I or Type II) need not match.

The XCRP4 Controller card supports Type I CF cards only.

Caution Risk of equipment malfunction. On early versions of the XCRP Controller card, it is possible to slide the CF card into the slot without the internal pins engaging the CF card. When this happens, it is not always possible to retrieve the CF card from the slot; you must remove the controller card from the chassis and remove the front panel from the card. To reduce the risk, ensure that you position the CF card as described in step 3.

Caution Risk of equipment damage. Do not force the CF card into its slot. If the card does not slide in easily, one of the following conditions is possible:• The card does not engage the connectors because it is mispositioned. Check the position and

alignment as described in step 3.• The card does not engage the connectors because it is upside down. Remove the card and

rotate it 180°; then try again. • The card has been previously damaged so that it cannot align correctly with the slot

connectors; remove the card and discard it. Do not use it in any other equipment.• The slot connectors have been bent or otherwise damaged by a previous card insertion; you

must replace the controller card.

Note If for some reason, the system cannot successfully mount the file system on the CF card (for example, the file system is damaged or the card is unformatted), the CF Active LED stops blinking, becomes unlit, and the system displays an error message on the console. You must enter the format microdrive command (in exec mode) to format the CF card and the mount command (in exec mode) to mount it.

For more information about the format microdrive and mount commands, see the “Hardware Operations” chapter in the Ports, Circuits, and Tunnels Operations Guide for the SmartEdge OS.


Connecting and Routing the Cables


Figure 4-18 Installing an CF Card


The following sections describe the tasks to connect and route the cables:

• Cable Management

• Connections for Management Access

• Connections for External Timing Cables

• Connections for Traffic Card Cables

• Connect and Route the Cables at the Front of the Chassis

• Connect and Route the External Timing and Power Cables

• Connect the Equipment and Network Ends of the Cables

Cable ManagementCable management is implemented at the front of the chassis to accommodate both fiber-optic using a cable tray and nonfiber cables using the underside of the fan tray; at the rear of the chassis, external timing cables (if they are present) are routed using fixed brackets at the top of the chassis.

The cable tray has 14 fixed cable guides. Fiber cables occupy the space provided between the guides for each card; see Figure 4-19.




Figure 4-19 Fiber-Optic Cable Tray

Copper cables are routed through cable bars on the underside of the fan tray; see Figure 4-20.

Figure 4-20 Copper Cable Bars

Connections for Management AccessConnecting a console terminal or management workstation to the SmartEdge 1200 router is often a two-stage process. Initially the console terminal is connected to the Craft port (also referred to as the console port) to configure the Ethernet port (also referred to as the management port); configuring the management port and modifying the configuration of the console port is described in the Basic System Configuration Guide for the SmartEdge OS. When the configuration is complete, you might need to alter the connections for normal operations.

This section describes all types of management access connections:

• Management Workstation

• Local or Remote Console Terminal




Management WorkstationA management workstation is connected to the SmartEdge 1200 router using the Ethernet port on the front of a controller card. This type of connection provides access to the SmartEdge OS command-line interface (CLI) after you have configured the port. Figure 4-21 shows the connections to the Ethernet ports on a pair of controller cards.

Two types of connections are supported:

• Local connection using a shielded Ethernet crossover cable

• Remote connection using a shielded Ethernet straight cable

Neither type of connection is suitable during a reload operation, because the Ethernet port is disabled until the reload is complete.

Figure 4-21 Connections for a Management Workstation

Local or Remote Console TerminalA local or remote console terminal is connected to the SmartEdge 1200 router using the Craft port on the front of a controller card. This type of connection provides access to the SmartEdge OS CLI, either directly or through a terminal server. Figure 4-22 shows the connection to the Craft port.

This port is always available; all system messages are directed to this port during a power on or reload operation.

Note A null modem is needed when connecting this cable to a modem; it is not needed when connecting it to a PC or terminal server.

XCRP3

Figure 4-22 Connections for a Local or Remote Console

Connections for External Timing CablesAn external timing cable provides a connection from an external synchronization source, such as a building integrated timing supply (BITS) or synchronization supply unit (SSU), to a SmartEdge 1200 system. Each cable consists of two individually shielded, twisted wire pairs: one pair for the synchronization input and another pair for the synchronization output.

Two connections are possible: one from a primary source and one from a secondary source. Either connection can provide timing for the entire chassis (input), regardless of the configuration of the controller cards. See Figure 4-23 for the location of the connectors for these cables.

Note When you first power on the system, the active controller card is in slot 7. Thereafter, the slot changes whenever a switchover occurs.

Note The XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards can both receive and transmit timing data; however, the XCRP4 can receive timing data only. However, the SmartEdge OS does not support the transmission of timing data to another SmartEdge router or any other external equipment.

Note An adapter, available as an option, provides wirewrap pins to allow you to attach a cable without a connector.

Note Support for the other ports depends on the release of the SmartEdge OS.




Figure 4-23 Connections for the External Timing Cables

Connections for Traffic Card CablesAll traffic card cables, with the exception of the DS-3 and E3 cables, are connected to the front panels of the cards; DS-3 and E3 cables are connected to the rear of the chassis. See the “Traffic Card Cables” section in Appendix A, “Cables and Pin Assignments,” for cable specifications.

Not all ports are enabled on a low-density version of a traffic card. Low density traffic cards are identified by the label on the lower ejector lever.

Table 4-4 lists the port data for traffic cards; in the table, IR, LR, and SR abbreviations are used for Intermediate Reach, Long Reach, and Short Reach, respectively.

Connect and Route the Cables at the Front of the ChassisYou route the copper cables to the openings in inner partition in the cable tray from the cards closest to the controller cards first, working outward to the sides of the chassis. After all copper cables are routed, you route the fiber-optic cables in similar fashion, but placing them in the slots in the outer partition; see Figure 4-25. Cable connections are made with standard cables. Appendix A, “Cables and Pin Assignments,” describes the standard SmartEdge 1200 cables and pin assignments.

Perform the following steps to route the cables at the front of the chassis:

1. Connect and route the copper cables; see Figure 4-24:

a. Insert each cable in the appropriate connector on the card.

b. Starting with the cards installed in the inner slots (4 to 7, 8 to 11), insert the cables for a card into the opening in the fan tray for that card.

c. Slide the cables to the outer edge of the fan tray.

d. Tie-wrap the bundled cables from each card to the outside edge of the rack.

e. Continue routing all nonfiber cables, working toward the outer slots (1 to 3 and 12 to 14).

Figure 4-24 Nonfiber Cable Routing

2. Connect and route the fiber-optic cables; see Figure 4-25:

a. Insert each cable in the appropriate connector on the card.

b. Starting with the cards installed in the inner slots (4 to 7, 8 to 11), insert the cables for a card into the opening for that card in the outer partition.

c. Slide the cables into the inner partition of the cable tray as much as is possible, but do not allow the cables to have a bend radius of more than 1.25 inches (3.18 cm).

d. Tie-wrap the bundled cables from each card to the outside edge of the rack.

e. Continue routing all fiber-optic cables, working toward the outer slots (1 to 3 and 12 to 14).

Caution Risk of damage to fiber-optic cables. Fiber-optic cables are fragile and are easily damaged when bent. To reduce the risk, never step on a cable; never twist it when connecting it to or disconnecting it from an traffic card.




Figure 4-25 Fiber-Optic Cable Routing

Connect and Route the External Timing and Power CablesPerform the following steps to connect and route the external timing and power cables at the rear of the chassis:

1. Optional. Connect and route the external timing cables; see Figure 4-26:

Attach the DB-9 ends of the external timing cables to the primary and secondary connectors, labeled “PRIMARY” and “SECONDARY”, at the center rear of the SmartEdge 1200 chassis; tie the cables to the rack.

If your cables do not have a connector on the system end, you can install an adapter, available as an option, in each chassis connector and then wirewrap the cable pins to the adapter.

2. Tie and route the chassis ground cables and the power cables to convenient locations on the rack.

Note The SmartEdge OS does not support the alarm, status, and RS-232 dial-up modem ports.




Figure 4-26 System Management Cable Routing at the Rear of the Chassis

Connect the Equipment and Network Ends of the CablesPerform the tasks described in the following sections to complete the cable connections:

• Connect the Cables from the Front of the Chassis

• Connect the Cables from the Rear of the Chassis

Connect the Cables from the Front of the ChassisPerform the following steps to connect the cables from the front of the chassis:

1. Connect the traffic card cables to their networks.

2. Ensure that the management access equipment is configured properly according to the specifications given in the “Selecting the Type of Management Access” section in Chapter 3, “Preparing for Installation.”

3. Connect the management access cables to the equipment or their networks; perform this step for one or more of these options, depending on the cables you have connected to the system:

• Management workstation; see Figure 4-21 on page 4-28.

• Console terminal; see Figure 4-22 on page 4-29.




Connect the Cables from the Rear of the ChassisPerform the following steps to connect the cables from the rear of the chassis:

1. If you have installed external timing cables, attach the unterminated ends of the cables to the wire-wrap posts of the external equipment. See the “External Timing Cables” section in Appendix A for the external timing cable specification.

2. Complete the power connections to the external fuse panel or circuit breaker panel. The procedure for the circuit breaker panel is beyond the scope of this book; to complete the connections to a fuse panel, perform the following steps:

a. Remove the fuses for the connectors on the external fuse panel that you intend to use for the four pairs of power cables.

b. Connect the primary power zone 1 cables (A1) to their –48V and RTN connectors on the external fuse panel.

c. Connect the primary power zone 2 cables (A2) to their –48V and RTN connectors on the external fuse panel.

d. If you are installing redundant power, connect the backup power zone 1 and power zone 2 cables (B1 and B2) to their –48V and RTN connectors on the external fuse panel.

You are now ready to power on the system and check the operating status; continue with Chapter 5, “Determining Operating Status.”

Warning Risk of electrical shock. After the power cables are connected to the chassis and the fuse panel, the system is fully powered on; there is no power switch. To reduce the risk, always remove the fuses from the fuse panel or if there is a circuit breaker, switch the circuit breaker to the OFF position, before connecting or disconnecting a power cable.

Determining Operating Status

This chapter describes the SmartEdge® 1200 chassis and card LEDs used to determine the status of the system. It also describes how to troubleshoot hardware problems and use the on-demand diagnostics to isolate faults to the card level.

These topics include:

• Powering On the System

• Determining Hardware Status

• Managing Hardware with CLI Commands

• Troubleshooting Hardware Problems

• Obtaining Assistance

For more information about system fault management and troubleshooting alarm and failure conditions, see Appendix B, “Alarms and Probable Causes.”

In addition to the LEDs for the system, the LEDs for the following cards are defined:


• ATM Cards

• Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Cards

When the configuration procedures are complete, you might need to alter the console connection to provide another type of console access, as described in the “Selecting the Type of Management Access” section in Chapter 3, “Preparing for Installation.” See the “Connections for Management Access” section in Chapter 4, “Installing the Hardware,” to alter the cable connections for normal operations.

After you have checked the operating status of the hardware, you are ready to perform the configuration procedures described in the Ports, Circuits, and Tunnels Configuration Guide for the SmartEdge OS.

5-1

Powering On the System


Powering On the System

You power on a SmartEdge 1200 router by inserting the fuses in the external fuse panel. The Power LEDs on the front of the chassis should light, depending on the power connections you have made, to signify that power is being supplied; see Figure 5-1. Table 5-1 lists the states for the power LEDs.

Figure 5-1 SmartEdge 1200 Status LEDs




The term second-generation ATM OC card refers to a 4-port Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) OC-3c/STM-1c or an Enhanced ATM OC-12c/STM-4c card.



Determining Hardware Status



You can determine the hardware status of an operating SmartEdge 1200 router using the system and card LEDs, and the results of the power-on diagnostics, as described in the following sections:

• Determine System Status with LEDs

• Determine Card Status with LEDs

• Display Results from Power-On Diagnostics

Determine System Status with LEDsThe status of the SmartEdge 1200 router is indicated by two sets of LEDs, which are located on the front of the fan tray; see Figure 5-1. Table 5-1 lists the LEDs that indicate the fan tray and system power status.

Table 5-2 lists the LEDs that indicate system-level alarm status.

Table 5-1 SmartEdge 1200 Status LEDs

Label Activity Color Description

A1, B1 On Green The zone 1 –48 VDC power source (primary or backup) is present:• A1—Primary source• B1—Backup source

Off None The zone 1 –48 VDC power source (primary or backup) is absent.

A2, B2 On Green The zone 2 –48 VDC power source (primary or backup) is present.• A2—Primary source• B2—Backup source

Off None The zone 2 (primary or backup) –48 VDC power source is absent.

FAN On Red A failure condition exists in the fan tray.1

1. The failure can be the result of either a nonfunctional fan or malfunctioning fan controller card; the failure condition can be detected by the power-on or ODD tests.

Off None The fan tray is fully functional.

Table 5-2 SmartEdge 1200 Alarm LEDs


ACO1, 2 On Yellow An audible alarm condition exists but the audible alarm has been silenced.

Off None There is no audible alarm condition or the audible alarm has not been silenced.

CRIT On Red One or more critical alarms exist on the chassis.

Off None No critical alarm exists on the chassis.

Determining Operating Status 5-3



Determine Card Status with LEDsEach SmartEdge controller and traffic card has equipment (card) and facility (port) LEDs to indicate current status of the card and its ports. Additionally, the controller cards have synchronization LEDs to indicate the status of any externally configured timing sources.

The card LEDs are described in the following sections:


• ATM Cards

• Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Cards

For information about configuring cards and using the SmartEdge OS software to troubleshoot errors, see the Ports, Circuits, and Tunnels Configuration Guide for the SmartEdge OS.

Controller CardsA controller card has the following LEDs; see Figure 5-2:

• Four equipment LEDs—Indicate current card status

• One synchronization and two external timing LEDs—Indicate the status of any connected external timing source

• Two facility LEDs—Indicate status of the Ethernet port

Table 5-3 lists the equipment LEDs, which indicate current status of the card.

MAJ On Red One or more major alarms exist on the chassis.

Off None No major alarm exists on the chassis.

MIN On Yellow One or more minor alarms exist on the chassis.

Off None No minor alarm exists on the chassis.

1. Alarm cutoff (ACO) action can be initiated locally by the ACO button (located directly next to the ACO LED), remotely through an external ACO contact closure, or through the NetOp™ Element Management System (EMS) software.

2. If more than one source initiates the ACO action, every source that initiated the action must clear the action before the ACO LED is unlit.

Table 5-3 Equipment LEDs on Controller Cards


FAIL On Red A failure exists on the controller card.1

Blinking Red Standby controller is being synchronized with the active controller.2

Off None No failure exists on the controller card.

ACTIVE On Green This controller card is active and is providing or capable of providing service.

Off None This controller card is either on standby (the STDBY LED is lit) or has failed (the FAIL LED is lit).

Table 5-2 SmartEdge 1200 Alarm LEDs (continued)





Table 5-4 lists the facility LEDs, which provide status for the Ethernet port.

STDBY On Yellow This controller card is the standby controller for the system.

Off None This controller card is either the active controller for the system (the ACTIVE LED is lit) or has failed (the FAIL LED is lit).

CF ACTIVE

Blinking Green The CF card in the slot in the active controller card is being read or written.

Off None No read or write operation on the external storage device is in progress.

1. A failure can be total, partial, or forced. Failure on any part of the card, including failure of any of its ports, results in the FAIL LED being lit.

2. The synchronization process is not affected by traffic card installation and removal; the active controller, and hence the system, continues to be responsive to traffic forwarding and continues to detect and notify the administrator of any faults that occur while the standby controller is being synchronized.

Note When you first power on the system, the active controller card is in slot 7. Thereafter, the slot changes whenever a switchover occurs. Check the status of the ACTIVE LED or use the show chassis command (in any mode) to determine the slot number.

Caution Risk of data loss. Do not remove a CF card from its slot while the CF ACTIVE LED is blinking; you can lose data that is being transferred to the device if you enter the unmount /md command (in exec mode) before the data transfer operation is complete. To reduce the risk, you must wait until the CF ACTIVE LED is off; then enter the unmount /md command to prepare the device for removal.

Caution Risk of equipment failure. Removing the CF card from its slot without first entering the unmount /md command (in exec mode) can permanently damage the device and cause the kernel to crash. To reduce the risk, always enter the unmount /md command before removing a CF card.

Display Results from Power-On DiagnosticsPower-on diagnostics verify the correct operation of the controller cards, the backplane, fan tray (referred to as the fantray), and each installed traffic card during a power-on or reload sequence of the SmartEdge router. These tests also run whenever a controller or traffic card is installed in a running system. The power-on diagnostics for each component consist of a series of tests, each of which can indicate a component failure.

During each test, the power-on diagnostics display results and status; if an error occurs during the testing of a card, the test lights the FAIL LED on the failing card, but does not stop the loading of the SmartEdge OS. A failure on the backplane or fan tray causes the FAN LED on the fan tray to light.

The maximum test time is 130 seconds: 60 seconds for a controller card, 10 seconds for the backplane and fan tray, and 5 seconds for each installed traffic card. If the system has two controller cards, the controller tests run in parallel.

To display results from power-on diagnostics, enter one of the following commands in any mode:

show diag pod component

show diag pod component detail

Table 5-11 lists the values for the component argument.

The detail keyword allows you to determine which test the component has failed.

In general, if a component fails to pass its power-on diagnostic tests, you need to replace it or make arrangements for its replacement. Contact your local technical support representative for more information about the results of a failed test.

Power-on diagnostics are enabled by default in the SmartEdge OS; if they have been disabled, you can enable them with the following command in global configuration mode:

diag pod

Managing Hardware with CLI Commands



The SmartEdge OS command-line interface (CLI) includes commands that display hardware configuration and status information, allow hardware troubleshooting, and provide hardware control and recovery. You enter all commands through the management port or the console port on the active controller card.

When the system is powered on or reloaded, the active controller card is in slot 7.

These operations are described in the following sections:

• Hardware Status

• Hardware Configuration, Control, and Troubleshooting

• Values for CLI Input Arguments

• Values for CLI Output Fields

Hardware StatusTable 5-12 lists the CLI commands that display status information for individual cards and ports. Required characters and keywords are shown in bold; arguments for which you must supply a value are shown in italics. You can enter show commands in any mode.

Table 5-15 Loopback Types

Loopback Type Description

– No loopback type is specified for Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports.

internal1

1. The internal keyword for all ports, except a port on a second-generation ATM OC card, causes all transmitted traffic to be looped back and not sent to the remote site; instead, the remote site receives a LOS. For a port on a second-generation ATM OC card, the port software injects an alarm indication signal-line (AIS-L), and then resumes transmitting traffic.

Loops transmit line to receive line; ATM OC ports.

line Loops receive line to transmit line; ATM OC ports.

C h a p t e r 6

Servicing the Hardware

This chapter describes how to install additional cards and how to replace existing cards and other units in the SmartEdge® 1200 chassis.

The design of the SmartEdge 1200 router permits you to install and replace all cards without powering off the system.

Procedures in this chapter include:

• Inserting and Extracting a Card

• Inserting and Removing a Transceiver

• Adding, Replacing, or Upgrading a Controller Card




Note After you replace a traffic card or change its physical configuration, you must enter SmartEdge OS commands from the command-line interface (CLI) to restore the card to normal operations.

Caution Risk of equipment malfunction. If you install or replace a card in a running system and the system is not fully operational, you can cause the system to malfunction. To reduce the risk, make sure the system is fully operational before proceeding with the installation or replacement procedure: • In a system with dual controller cards, ensure that the standby controller is fully synchronized

with the active controller card. Use the show redundancy command (in any mode) to display the status of the standby controller.

• In a system with a single controller card, ensure that you have the CLI prompt on the console.If the system is not currently in an operational state, you need to power off the system. To power off the system, remove all fuses for both power zones (primary and backup for each zone) in the fuse panel.

6-1

Inserting and Extracting a Card


• Installing and Removing a CF Card

• Adding and Replacing a Traffic Card

• Replacing a Transceiver

• Replacing the Fan Tray

• Replacing the Air Filter

• Cleaning Optical Connectors

Table 6-1 lists the tools required to perform the procedures in this chapter.


To insert or extract the alarm card, a controller card, or any traffic card, perform the appropriate procedure in the following sections; these procedures are referenced in the installation and removal procedures for specific types of cards:

• Insert a Card

• Extract a Card

Note The SmartEdge 1200 chassis has an EEPROM that supplies the medium access control (MAC) address for the chassis. If it should ever be necessary to replace the EEPROM, contact your local technical representative or the Redback® Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for directions.

Caution Risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. The system components contain electrostatic-sensitive devices. To reduce the risk of ESD damage, always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap when handling a component. Avoid touching its printed circuit board, subassemblies, or any connector pins.

Caution Risk of equipment damage. You can damage your SmartEdge router if you install and use cards that have been repaired in the field. To reduce the risk, never attempt to repair parts or cards yourself; always replace any defective card with a card supplied by your local technical representative.

Table 6-1 Tools Required for Installation and Replacement Procedures

Tool Purpose

#1 Phillips screwdriver Remove and install the fan tray, cards.

Trompeter tool Remove and install DS-3 or E3 cables.

Note The screwdriver needs a 4.5-inch (11.5-cm) shaft to reach the screws that secure the fan tray in the chassis.




Insert a CardThe following procedure is referenced in the procedures to install specific cards; to ensure correct installation, perform the installation procedure for the specific card, including all steps prior to and after the actual card insertion. Perform the following steps to insert a card; see Figure 6-1:

1. Align the new card with the card guides at the top and bottom of the slot.

2. Position the ejector levers away from the front panel and then carefully slide the card into the slot. The ejector levers rotate as the latching mechanisms engage the walls of the slot and the connectors on the card are inserted into the connectors on the backplane.

3. Push on the ejector levers until they are parallel with the front panel; this action fully seats the connectors with the backplane.

4. Secure the card in the chassis by tightening the screw on the top and bottom of the front panel. With a Phillips screwdriver, tighten each screw using 5.0 inch-lbs torque (0.6 Newton-meters) maximum.

Figure 6-1 Inserting a Card in a SmartEdge 1200 Chassis

Caution Risk of equipment damage. Because of the high density and compact design of the SmartEdge 1200 router, the underside of the card might rub against the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gasket of the card in the adjacent slot during card insertion, and potentially damage the card. To reduce this risk, if you feel any resistance (the card does not slide smoothly without effort), or hear the card touching the components on the card installed in the adjacent slot at the left, do not force the card into the slot. Ensure that the card is perpendicular to the slot. If you feel any resistance, slightly shift the left edge of the front panel to the right until it can slide easily into the slot.

Servicing the Hardware 6-3



Extract a CardThe following procedure is referenced in the procedures to remove specific cards; to ensure correct removal, perform the removal procedure for the specific card, including all steps prior to and after the actual card extraction. Perform the following steps to extract a card; see Figure 6-2:

1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the captive screws on the top and bottom of the controller card being removed.

2. Lift up the top ejector lever and push down on the bottom ejector lever on the front panel to disengage the card from the system backplane; perform these actions on both levers simultaneously to avoid damage.

3. Carefully slide the card out of the chassis, and place it in an antistatic bag.

Figure 6-2 Extracting a Card from the SmartEdge 1200 Chassis

Caution Risk of equipment damage. Because of the high density and compact design of the SmartEdge 1200 router, the underside of the card might rub against the electromagnetic interference (EMI) gasket of the card in the adjacent slot during card removal, and potentially damage the card. To reduce this risk, if you feel any resistance (the card does not slide smoothly without effort), or hear the card touching the components on the card installed in the adjacent slot at the left, do not force the card out of the slot. Ensure that the card is perpendicular to the slot. If you feel any resistance, slightly shift the left edge of the front panel to the right until it can slide easily out of the slot.


Inserting and Removing a Transceiver



Gigabit Ethernet ports require a gigabit interface converter (GBIC), a small form-factor pluggable (SFP), or a 10-Gbps SFP (XFP) transceiver in each port. Table 6-2 lists the transceiver type for each Gigabit Ethernet card.

To insert or remove a transceiver of any type, perform the appropriate procedure in the following sections; these procedures are referenced in the installation and removal procedures for transceivers throughout this chapter:

• Insert a Transceiver

• Remove a Transceiver

Insert a Transceiver

Perform the following steps to insert a transceiver of any type:


2. Ensure that the latching mechanism is closed.


Traffic Card Transceiver



Gigabit Ethernet 1020 (10- and 20-port versions) SFP

10 Gigabit Ethernet (1-port, 10-Gbps) XFP

Caution Risk of data loss. You can corrupt the system if you attempt to install transceivers (GBICs, SFPs, or XFPs) that are not approved by Redback because these items have not been tested with the SmartEdge router. To reduce the risk, install only the transceivers approved by Redback.

Caution Risk of ESD damage. Transceivers contain electrostatic-sensitive devices. To reduce the risk of ESD damage, always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap when handling any transceiver. Avoid touching its connector pins.





3. With the transceiver connectors aligned with the RX and TX labels on the front panel of the traffic card (as shown in Figure 6-3, Figure 6-4, or Figure 6-5), slide the transceiver into the opening for the port until the rear connector is seated and the locking mechanism snaps into place.

4. Remove the dust cover if you are installing an optical transceiver.

Remove a TransceiverPerform the following steps to remove a transceiver of any type:


2. Release the latching mechanism:

• If the transceiver has a wire handle, unlatch it, and rotate it 90° to 180°.

• If the transceiver has latching tabs, squeeze and hold the tabs.

3. Withdraw the transceiver from its port and insert a dust cover over the optical connectors.

Figure 6-3 Inserting and Removing a GBIC Transceiver

Note The labels for a transceiver’s TX and RX connectors vary by vendor. An arrow, which can be incised on the case, usually indicates the traffic direction.

Adding, Replacing, or Upgrading a Controller Card



Controller cards are installed in slots 7 and 8 only. To add or replace a controller card, perform the appropriate task as described in the following sections:

• Add a Second Controller Card

• Replace a Controller Card

• Upgrade a Controller Card

• Upgrade an XCRP3 Controller Card to More Memory

Add a Second Controller CardPerform the following steps to add a second controller card to a configuration:

1. Prepare for the addition:

a. Optional. Upgrade the active controller to run the latest release of the system software.

See the Basic System Operations Guide for the SmartEdge OS for instructions to display the release information and to upgrade the active controller to a new software release.

b. Put on an antistatic wrist strap (one is shipped with the system), and attach it to an appropriate grounded surface.

c. Loosen the captive screws and remove the blank card that is installed in slot 7 or 8.

2. Install the card; see the generic procedure in the “Insert a Card” section on page 6-3.

Note If the software release on the controller card that you are installing is different from the release on the active controller, the active controller overwrites the release on the second controller card after you complete the installation procedure.

Caution Risk of ESD damage. A controller card contains electrostatic-sensitive devices. To reduce the risk of ESD damage, always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap when handling any card. Avoid touching its printed circuit board, components, or any connector pins.


Note The second controller card must be the same type (either XCRP or XCRP3) and have the same memory size as the current controller card; you can check the Common Language Equipment Identifier (CLEI) codes to ensure that they are identical.

Caution Risk of data loss. If the controller cards are not the same type with same main memory configuration, the standby controller is not initialized. As a result, the system runs with a single controller card without the protection of the standby controller. To reduce the risk, always ensure that the controller cards are identical before you install a second controller card.




3. If the first controller card includes a CF card, install a CF card in the controller card you have just installed. To install the CF card, see the “Installing and Removing a CF Card” section on page 6-12.

4. Verify the operational status: the FAIL LED must not be lit.

5. Generally, duplicate the cable connections of the active controller card on the standby controller card (see the procedures in the “Connect and Route the Cables at the Front of the Chassis” section in Chapter 4, “Installing the Hardware”), and route the cables accordingly.

After you have installed the card, the system ensures that both controller cards are running the same release of the system software, and downloads the release on the active controller card to the new standby controller card, if necessary.

Replace a Controller Card

Perform the following steps to replace a controller card:

1. Prepare for replacement:

a. Optional. If you are replacing one of a pair of controller cards, upgrade the active controller to run the latest release of the system software.

See the Basic System Operations Guide for the SmartEdge OS for procedures to display the release information and to upgrade the active controller to a new software release.

b. If possible, in a system with dual controller cards, ensure that the system is fully operational: the standby controller must be fully synchronized with the active controller card. Use the show redundancy command to display the status of the standby controller.

c. If there is a CF card installed in the controller card, dismount the device; enter the following command in exec mode:

unmount /md

d. Put on an antistatic wrist strap (one is shipped with the system), and attach it to an appropriate grounded surface.

e. Label and disconnect any cables from the front of the controller card being removed.

Caution Risk of data loss. Controller cards are hot swappable, but if the system configuration includes redundant controller cards, you can disrupt traffic if you remove the active controller card. To reduce the risk, verify that the card being removed is not the active controller (that is, the STDBY LED is lit).

Note If the system configuration includes a single controller card, you will disrupt traffic when you remove the card.

Note If the software release on the controller card that you are installing is different from the release on the active controller, the active controller overwrites the release on the replacement controller card after you complete the replacement procedure.




2. Remove the current card; see the generic procedure in the “Extract a Card” section on page 6-4.


4. If a CF card was installed in the previous controller card, remove the device from its slot and install it in the new controller card; perform the procedure in the “Installing and Removing a CF Card” section on page 6-12.

5. Verify the operational status: the FAIL LED must not be lit.

6. Reconnect the cables you previously disconnected.

If you have replaced one of a pair of controller cards, the system ensures that both controller cards are running the same release of the system software and downloads the release on the active controller to the new standby controller, if necessary.

Caution Risk of equipment failure. Removing the controller card with its CF card without first entering the unmount /md command (in exec mode) can permanently damage the device and cause the kernel to crash. To reduce the risk, always enter the unmount /md command before removing a controller card.

Caution Risk of data loss. You can lose data that is being transferred to the CF card if you enter the unmount /md command (in exec mode) before the data transfer operation is complete. To reduce the risk, do not enter the unmount /md command while the CF ACTIVE LED is blinking. When the operation is complete, the LED is turned off.

Caution Risk of ESD damage. A controller card contains electrostatic-sensitive devices. To reduce the risk of ESD damage, always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap when handling any card. Avoid touching its printed circuit board, components, or any connector pins.


Note If you are replacing one of a pair of controller cards, the replacement controller card must be the same type (XCRP, XCRP3, XCRP4) and have the same memory size as the current controller card; you can check the CLEI codes to ensure that they are identical.

Caution Risk of data loss. If the controller cards are not the same type with same main memory configuration, the standby controller is not initialized. As a result, the system runs with a single controller card without the protection of the standby controller. To reduce the risk, always ensure that the controller cards are identical before you install a second controller card.




Upgrade a Controller CardLater versions of the controller card (XCRP3, XCRP4) provide more processing power and more memory.

To upgrade any controller card in a system to a later version perform the following steps:

1. Power down the SmartEdge router. You cannot upgrade the controller cards in a running system.

2. Replace each controller card currently installed in the chassis. In a dual-controller system, you must replace both controller cards. To replace a controller card, perform steps 1 to 4 in the procedure described in the “Replace a Controller Card” section on page 6-9.

3. Power on the SmartEdge router.

4. Verify the operational status of both controller cards: the FAIL LED must not be lit.


6. Determine if you need to upgrade the SmartEdge OS that is shipped on the card.

Enter the show version command in exec mode. If the displayed release version is not 2.5.3 or later, you must upgrade the SmartEdge OS to Release 2.5.3 or later before upgrading to the XCRP3. If the displayed release version is not 6.1.0 or later, you must upgrade the SmartEdge OS to Release 6.1.0 or later before upgrading to the XCRP4. The procedure to upgrade the SmartEdge OS to a later release is described in the release notes for that release.

Upgrade an XCRP3 Controller Card to More MemoryThe XCRP3 Controller card supports either 768 MB or 1,280 MB of main memory. To upgrade an XCRP3 controller card with 768 MB of main memory to use 1,280 MB, you must replace the card as described in the “Upgrade a Controller Card” section.

Note In a dual-controller system, you must upgrade both controller cards. You cannot mix controller types in the same chassis.

Note Both replacement controller cards must be XCRP3 with the same amount of memory. You cannot mix controller types or memory configurations in the same chassis.

Note In a dual-controller system, you must upgrade both controller cards, so that both cards have the same main memory configuration.


Installing and Removing a CF Card



Each controller card has an external slot on the front panel in which you can install an optional Type I or Type II CF card.

To install a CF card, perform the following steps:


2. If you are installing the device in an XCRP4 Controller card, open the door that covers the CF Type 1 slot until it “snaps” open.

3. Hold the device so that its pin-hole side faces the slot in the controller front panel.

4. Vertically align the card as close to the left edge of the slot as possible and perpendicular to it; see Figure 6-6.

5. Slowly insert the CF card in the slot; keep the CF card perpendicular to the front panel. If the CF card does not engage the internal pins with approximately 0.50 inches (1.27 cm) of the CF card outside the slot, do not continue. Remove the CF card and repeat this step.

Note If a CF card is installed in the active controller card, the standby controller card, if installed, must also have a CF card installed; however, the CF card types (Type I or Type II) need not match. The XCRP4 Controller card supports Type I CF card only.

Caution Risk of ESD damage. A CF card contains electrostatic-sensitive devices. To reduce the risk of ESD damage, always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap when handling any CF card. Avoid touching its connector pins.


Caution Risk of equipment malfunction. On early versions of the XCRP Controller card, it is possible to slide the CF card into the slot without the internal pins engaging the device. When this happens, it is not always possible to retrieve the card from the slot; you must remove the controller card from the chassis and remove the front panel from the card. To reduce the risk, ensure that you position the CF card as described in step 4.

Caution Risk of equipment damage. Do not force the CF card into its slot. If the card does not slide in easily, one of the following conditions is possible:• The card does not engage the internal pins because it is mispositioned. Check the position and

alignment as described in step 4.• The card does not engage the internal pins because it is upside down. Remove the card and

rotate it 180°; then try again. • The card has been previously damaged so that it cannot align correctly with the internal pins;

remove the card and discard it. Do not use it in any other equipment.• The internal pins have been bent or otherwise damaged by a previous card insertion; you must

replace the controller card.




6. If you are installing the CF card in an XCRP4 Controller card, close the door.

After insertion, the system automatically recognizes the CF card and begins to mount it. The CF Active LED begins to blink. When the CF Active LED is unlit, you can begin using the CF card.

Figure 6-6 Installing a CF Card

To remove a CF card, perform the following steps:

1. Prepare the CF card for removal: enter the following command in exec mode:

unmount /md

Note If for some reason, the system cannot successfully mount the file system on the CF card (for example, the file system is damaged or the card is unformatted), the CF Active LED stops blinking, becomes unlit, and the system displays an error message on the console. You must enter the format microdrive command (in exec mode) to format the CF card and the mount command (in exec mode) to mount it.

For more information about the format microdrive and mount commands, see the “Hardware Operations” chapter in the Ports, Circuits, and Tunnels Operations Guide for the SmartEdge OS.

Caution Risk of equipment failure. Removing the CF card without first entering the unmount /md command (in exec mode) can permanently damage the CF card and cause the kernel to crash. To reduce the risk, always enter the unmount /md command before removing a CF card.

Caution Risk of data loss. You can lose data that is being transferred to the CF card if you enter the unmount /md command (in exec mode) before the data transfer operation is complete. To reduce the risk, do not enter the unmount /md command while the CF ACTIVE LED is blinking. When the operation is complete, the LED is turned off.


Adding and Replacing a Traffic Card


2. If you are removing the CF card in an XCRP4 Controller card, perform the following steps:

a. Open the door that covers the CF Type 1 slot until it “snaps” open. This action begins unmounting the file system on the CF card. The CF Active LED blinks during the unmounting process.

b. Wait until the CF Active LED stops blinking. It is now safe to remove the CF card.

3. If you are removing the CF card in an XCRP4 Controller card, press the ejection button that is inside the CF slot (see Figure 6-7) twice (first to cause the button to protrude from within its recess and second to disengage the CF card from its connectors.

4. Grasp the CF card and pull gently and slowly until the CF card is disengaged from the internal pins.

5. If you are removing the CF card in an XCRP4 Controller card, close the door.

Figure 6-7 Ejector for CF Card in XCRP4 Controller Card


Traffic cards can be installed in any slot, except slots 7 and 8; DS-3 and E3 cards can be installed in slots 1 to 5 and 10 to 14 only. To add or replace a traffic card, perform the appropriate task as described in the following sections:

• Add a Traffic Card

• Replace a Traffic Card

Note If for some reason, the system cannot successfully unmount the file system on the CF card, the CF Active LED stops blinking and is unlist. You must enter the unmount command (in exec mode) to unmount the file system on the card.

For more information about the unmount command, see the “Hardware Operations” chapter in the Ports, Circuits, and Tunnels Operations Guide for the SmartEdge OS.




Add a Traffic CardPerform the following steps to add a traffic card to an operational system:

1. Prepare for installation:

a. Ensure that the system is fully operational:

• In a system with dual controller cards, the standby controller must be fully synchronized with the active controller card. Use the show redundancy command (in any mode) to display the status of the standby controller.

• In a system with a single controller card, ensure that you have the CLI prompt on the console.

b. Follow the guidelines in the “Select the Slots” section in Chapter 4, “Installing the Hardware,” to select the slot for the card.

c. Put on an antistatic wrist strap (one is shipped with the system), and attach it to an appropriate grounded surface.

2. Loosen the captive screws and remove the blank card that is installed in the slot for the new card.


4. If you are installing a Gigabit Ethernet card, install the transceivers using the procedure in the “Insert a Transceiver” section:

• For the first or second version of the 4-port Gigabit Ethernet (GE) card, install the GBIC transceivers.

• For the 4-port Gigabit Ethernet 3 (GE3) card or the Gigabit Ethernet 1020 (GE1020) cards, install the SFP transceivers.

• For the 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) card, install the XFP transceiver.

Caution Risk of ESD damage. A traffic card contains electrostatic-sensitive devices. To reduce the risk of ESD damage, always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap when handling any card. Avoid touching its printed circuit board, components, or any connector pins.







5. After the card has been installed, verify the operational status as described in the “Determine Card Status with LEDs” section in Chapter 5, “Determining Operating Status.”

6. If the card has optical ports, remove the rubber cover from the connectors.

7. Connect and route the cables using the procedures in the “Connecting and Routing the Cables” section in Chapter 4, “Installing the Hardware.”

Replace a Traffic Card

Perform the following steps to remove an existing traffic card and replace it with a new card:

1. Ensure that the system is fully operational:

• In a system with dual controller cards, the standby controller must be fully synchronized with the active controller card. Use the show redundancy command to display the status of the standby controller.

• In a system with a single controller card, ensure that you have the CLI prompt on the console.


a. Put on an antistatic wrist strap (one is shipped with the system), and attach it to an appropriate grounded surface.

b. Label and disconnect any cables from the front of the card being removed.

c. If the card has optical ports, install rubber covers over the connectors.

3. Remove the current card; see the generic procedure in the “Extract a Card” section on page 6-4.

2. Remove the current transceiver, using the procedure in the “Remove a Transceiver” section.

3. Install the new transceiver, using the procedure in the “Insert a Transceiver” section.

• For the first or second version of the 4-port GE card, install a GBIC transceiver.

• For the GE3 or GE1020 cards, install an SFP transceiver.

• For the 10GE card, install an XFP transceiver.


5. Use the SmartEdge OS CLI software to restore the port to normal operations.


You do not have to power off the system to remove the fan tray, because the SmartEdge 1200 router can operate without the fans for a short period of time.

Perform the following steps to replace the fan tray:





Caution Risk of equipment damage. A working fan tray and air filter are required by the SmartEdge 1200 chassis for it to operate without causing an over temperature condition that can damage the system components. To reduce the risk, always replace the fan tray or the air filter within three minutes of its removal.

Caution Risk of ESD damage. The fan tray contains electrostatic-sensitive devices. To reduce the risk of ESD damage, always use an ESD wrist or ankle strap when handling it. Avoid touching its printed circuit board, components, or any connector pins.





2. Remove the unit; see Figure 6-8:

a. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the captive screw on the front of the unit.

b. Gently slide it out of the chassis and set it aside.

3. Install the new unit:

a. Insert the unit into the chassis.

b. With a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the screw on the front of the unit using 5.0 inch-lbs torque (0.6 Newton-meters) maximum.

4. Check the LEDs on the front of the unit; the FAN LED must not be lit.

5. Replace the air filter and update the service date; see the next section, “Replacing the Air Filter.”

Figure 6-8 Replacing the Fan Tray

Note If you do not replace the air filter and then update the service date, the service date stored in the fan tray will not be valid for the air filter.


Replacing the Air Filter


Replacing the Air Filter

The SmartEdge 1200 chassis has a built-in air filter that is used in conjunction with the fan tray to cool the system. The filter is mounted at the bottom of the chassis. A label on the filter allows you to record the date when the filter should be replaced. We recommend that you change this filter every six months (or more often, if required) to ensure the correct air flow through the chassis.

Perform the following steps to replace the air filter:

1. On the label of the replacement filter, record the date that it should be replaced.

2. Remove the current filter: standing at the front of the chassis, reach under the chassis to the filter, and grasp the tab at the front of the filter; then push the filter back toward the rear of the chassis and at the same time, pull down on the tab. You will feel the spring at the rear of the chassis give, and the filter will clear the restraining lip at the front of the chassis.

3. Insert the replacement filter: insert the filter under the chassis and press it into the spring at the rear of the chassis to clear the restraining lip of the chassis; then lift the front of the filter and let it snap into place behind the restraining lip.

4. Update the service date for the air filter; either enter the following command in exec mode, or ask the system administrator to do so:

service air-filter

The system updates the service date in the EEPROM of the fan tray, according to the service interval configured by the system administrator.

Cleaning Optical Connectors

Clean fiber-optic components are a requirement for quality connections between fiber-optic equipment. Cleaning the fiber-optic equipment is one of the most basic and important procedures for maintaining traffic cards with fiber-optic connectors. Redback has written Inspection and Cleaning Procedures for Fiber-Optic Connections, GPR-0186, to provide detailed and comprehensive procedures for your use. This document is available on the Redback Networks, Inc. Support web site at http://www.redback.com. For information about accessing documents that are posted on this web site, see the “Ordering Documentation” section in “About This Guide.”

Caution Risk of equipment damage. A working fan tray and air filter are required by the SmartEdge 1200 chassis for it to operate without causing an over temperature condition that can damage the system components. To reduce the risk, always replace the fan tray or the air filter within three minutes of its removal.

External Timing Cables


Ethernet Straight CableThis shielded cable connects the Ethernet port on a controller card to a LAN hub. Both ends of the cable are terminated in standard RJ-45 eight-pin modular plugs. Table A-4 lists the pin assignments, which are for both ends of the cable.


An external timing cable provides a connection from an external synchronization source, such as a building integrated timing supply (BITS) or synchronization supply unit (SSU), to a SmartEdge router. Using two cables you can connect a SmartEdge chassis to primary and secondary inputs on the external equipment.

Table A-5 lists the cable specifications for the external timing cable.

A cable consists of two individually shielded, twisted-wire pairs: one pair for the synchronization input and another pair for the synchronization output.

The nominal impedance of the DS-1 wire pairs is 100 ohms; that of the E1 wire pairs is 120 ohms.

One end of the cable is terminated with a DB-9 male connector; the other end of the cable is left unterminated for attachment to the wirewrap posts of the external equipment. Both of the DB-9 connectors (PRIMARY and SECONDARY) on the rear panel of a SmartEdge chassis have identical pin assignments.

Note The XCRP and XCRP3 Controller cards can both receive and transmit timing data; however, the XCRP4 can receive timing data only. However, the SmartEdge OS does not support the transmission of timing data to another SmartEdge router or any other external equipment.

Cables and Pin Assignments A-3



• For the DS-1 interface:

To bring a signal from external equipment that uses a DS-1 interface (BITS) into a SmartEdge system, you must connect the DS-1 output of the external equipment to pins 2 and 6 of the DB-9 connector on the rear panel of the SmartEdge chassis. The polarity of the signal does not matter. The SmartEdge system accepts a standard BITS source transmitting a framed-all-ones pattern at the DS-1 rate of 1.544 Mbps.

• For the E1 interface:

To bring a signal from external equipment that uses an E1 interface (SSU) into a SmartEdge system, you must connect the E1 output of the external equipment to pins 2 and 6 of the SSU DB-9 connector on the rear panel of a SmartEdge chassis. The polarity of the signal does not matter. A SmartEdge system accepts a standard synchronization source transmitting an HDB3-encoded, framed-all-ones pattern at the E1 rate of 2.048 Mbps.

Table A-6 lists the pin assignments for either cable.

Note An adapter, available as an option, provides wirewrap pins to allow you to attach a cable without a connector.

Port Alarms


Port Alarms

This section provides tables of alarms for the following types of ports:

• Optical Port Alarms

• Ethernet Port Alarms

• Gigabit Ethernet Port Alarms

Optical Port AlarmsThe tables in this section apply to all Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) OC cards.

Table B-4 lists the supported optical port alarms for the physical layer.

Table B-5 lists the supported optical port alarms for the section/regenerator section layer.

Table B-6 lists the supported optical port alarms for the line/multiplex layer.

Note If a major or critical alarm occurs on a ATM port and that port is a member of an Automatic Protection Switching (APS) group, either as a protected or a working port, the alarm is downgraded to a minor alarm because the service is protected by the redundant port. For configuration and management information for APS ports and groups, see the “APS Configuration” chapter in the Ports, Circuits, and Tunnels Configuration Guide for the SmartEdge OS; for operations information, see the “Card, Port, and Channel Operations” chapter in the Ports, Circuits, and Tunnels Operations Guide for the SmartEdge OS. The severity levels in the table are the default levels, not the degraded levels.
