Safety standards
The network elements of this product conform to all relevant safety standards.
In particular, they meet:
• IEC 60950-1—Safety of Information Technology Equipment, First
Edition, 2001
• IEC 60825-2:2004, IEC 60825-1:2001—Safety of Laser Products
• FDA 21 CFR 1040—Performance Standards for Light-Emitting Products,
1997
The classification of Nortel products is based on the maximum accessible
power. Under normal operating conditions, the power within the optical
system can be high, but not accessible. Upon fault or fiber disconnect
conditions, the internal safety systems reduce the power to the accessible
power level, as stated on the labels.
Laser radiation—optical transmission systems

Nortel optical products use laser or light-emitting diode (LED) sources that
emit light energy into optical fibers. This energy is within the red (visible) and
infrared (not visible) areas of the electromagnetic spectrum.
International standards
The IEC 60825 series of international standards covers the safety of laser and
LED products. The following list provides examples from the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), Code of Federal Register (CFR), and
European Norm (EN) series of standards:
• IEC 60825-1, Safety of Laser Products—Part 1: Equipment Classification,
Requirements and User’s Guide Edition 1.1; Edition 1: 1993, Consolidated
with Amendment 1: 1997; Issue 1, 1998. (Part 1 of a series of publications
under the general title of: Safety of Laser Products). This standard provides
information about equipment classification and on limit values for safety
of laser products.
Note: IEC 60825 Amendment 2 was published in January 2001 with
revised laser classification levels (Class 1, 1M, 1R, 3B, and 4) governing
open-source lasers within the wavelength ranges specified for Nortel
products.
• IEC 60825-2:2004, Safety of laser products –Part 2: Safety of optical fibre

communication systems (OFCS). Part 2 of IEC 60825 provides
requirements and specific guidance for the safe operation and maintenance
of optical fibre communication systems (OFCS).
• Regional standards such as the EN 60825 series: for example, British
Standard BS EN 60825-1:2001, Safety of Laser Products, Equipment
Classification, Requirements and User’s Guide, 15 Dec. 2001, 123 pgs.
These standards are based on the IEC 60825 series.
Note: In Europe, the EN 60825 series of standards for CE marking
purposes evaluate the safety of laser and LED products. The EN 60825
series is technically equivalent to IEC 60825.
• In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishes
regulations 21 CFR 1010, Performance Standards for Electronics
Products: General, April 1996, and 21 CFR 1040 in the Code of Federal
Register (CFR). Regulations 21 CFR 1010 and 21 CFR 1040 contain laser
safety requirements equivalent to the European standards.
Note: Laser Notice 50, issued by the US Dept. of Health and Human
Services (FDA) on July 26, 2001, now states that there is no objection to
the FDA conforming with IEC hazard warning labels as specified in IEC
60825-1. This is an effort on the part of the FDA to align its standards for
laser products with IEC 60825-1.
The maximum intrinsic output power of laser and LED sources used in optical
fiber communication systems can vary from Class 1 (IEC) or Class I (FDA) to
Class 1M (IEC 60825-1:2001) or Class IIIb (FDA) or higher for long-reach
applications. The IEC standards require that products are assessed on their
maximum accessible optical power during both normal operation and under
fault conditions.
Considerations regarding legacy optical labeling

Previous releases of Optical Metro 5100/5200 circuit packs and trays may have
been labeled as Hazard level 3A or Hazard Level kx3A based on the second
edition of the Optical Fibre Communication System (OFCS) Standard IEC
60825-2:2000. The third edition of the OFCS standard IEC 60825:2004 is now
in effect. Hazard level 3A and kx3A have been replaced by Hazard level 3R
and Hazard level 1M in the 850 nm and 1310 nm wavelength ranges and
Hazard level 1M in the 1400 nm to 1650 nm range. It is possible for new
hardware to be added to previously installed systems and therefore Hazard
level 3A, kx3A and 1M labels can be present on the Optical Metro 5100/5200
shelf.
In the 1400 nm to 1650 nm range, Hazard level 3A and kx3A are considered
equivalent to Hazard level 1M and are considered eye-safe for all reasonably
foreseeable unassisted viewing conditions. Laser ports and fiber connectors
marked at these levels should not be viewed with any optical instruments (for
example, an eye-loop to inspect fiber terminations). It is also recommended
that operators and service personnel avoid direct exposure to laser radiation
from unterminated fiber ends and connectors.
Optical Metro 5100/5200 does not include any circuit packs or trays that would
be labeled as Hazard level 3R.
Radiation hazards
Under normal operation, with all optical connectors in position and correctly
terminated, the optical radiation is completely enclosed. The system is a
Class 1 (IEC) or Class I (FDA) product, irrespective of the transmitted power
within the optical fiber.
Where optical cables are unterminated (possibly caused by optical fiber breaks
or removal of connectors), the accessible output from circuit packs containing
optical transmitters can be greater than Class 1 (IEC) or Class I (FDA). Follow
the requirements set out in standard IEC 60825-2:2004 concerning optical
fiber communication systems.
The maximum radiation hazard encountered when disconnecting an optical

fiber or during a fiber break does not exceed the AEL for Class 1M (IEC). The
worst case hazard level, as defined by IEC 60825-2, is Hazard Level 1M
(IEC 60825-2:2004) and defined by ANSI Z136.2 as Service Group 1 3A.
Because the system is intended to be installed in a restricted access location,
no additional engineering design features are required to prevent exposure to
the laser radiation.
• Hazard level 1 is equivalent to Class 1. You can install and use products
with this classification in any location.
• Hazard level 1M (IEC 60825-2:2004) is equivalent to Class 1M. You can

install and use products with this classification in restricted or controlled
locations. While it is not advised to, a Class 3A optical source is considered
to be safe for long-term direct viewing without optical aids. Optical
products designed by Nortel for short-haul and medium-haul applications
normally are within Hazard level 1M (IEC 60825-2:2004) and are labeled
accordingly.
Note: The FDA does not have a classification with limits equivalent to
those of IEC Class 1M for the infrared wavelength range 1425–1625 nm.
FDA classifications for this wavelength range go from Class I to Class IIIb
directly. FDA Class IIIb is similar to IEC Class 3B.
The following conditions determine the precautions you must take:

• the maximum accessible power
• the location of the part of the system where the optical radiation is
accessible
Labeling
Labeling according to the IEC 60825 series of standards is attached to the
optical circuit pack and the product. The following sections describe the
symbols, legends, wording, meaning, and hazard precautions required for
Optical Metro 5100/5200.
The elements of a typical label are

• laser warning symbol
• warning text explaining the risk associated with the hazard from exposed
optical fiber ends and unterminated connectors; this text indicates that a
hazard can exist on either the fixed or free end of a connector depending
on direction of transmission
• hazard level according to IEC60825-2
• wavelength, shown as a nominal or a DWDM range of values, for example:
— 1550 nm nominal means a single wavelength within the range 1525 nm
to 1625 nm
— 1510 nm - 1625 nm means that multiple discrete DWDM wavelengths
exist in the range

The label can be fixed to the front panel or on any other surface. If the optical
source is Class 1 (IEC), no label is required.
The starburst laser warning symbol is optional for Class 1 (IEC) products and
is normally fitted in close proximity to the appropriate optical connectors.
Table 1-1 on page 1-8 provides additional information related to the optical
pluggable transceivers. Table 1-2 on page 1-10 provides additional
information related to circuit packs and lasers on fixed ports of circuit packs.
The following note applies to the OME1110 equipment.
Note: When installing Laser Device modules in this product assure that
they are on file with CDRH and the class level of emissions produced by
the unit are under Class I emission levels.

Passive subassembly labels

A passive optical subassembly supplied and installed as part of a complete
Nortel optical communication system has the appropriate hazard level
assigned and labels attached. If Nortel does not supply and install the
subassembly, you must determine the maximum accessible optical output level
and assign the appropriate hazard level and labels.
Passive subassemblies (for example, optical patch panels, couplers and
splitters, optical switches) can carry optical signals of any power depending on
the source optical fibers. These subassemblies require the appropriate laser
warning and explanatory labels that are normally fitted in close proximity to
the connectors or access panel. You are responsible for ensuring the following
requirements are met:
• the optical powers at the inputs and outputs of the subassemblies are
known
• appropriate labeling is fitted to subassemblies
• personnel are fully trained in optical safety and understand the optical
safety issue associated with the subassemblies
Product level regulatory label
Each product containing optical circuit packs contains a product-level
regulatory label. This label is fitted on the bay assembly or the front of the
equipment (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-15 and Figure 1-2 on page 1-16). The
label does not have to be visible when the equipment has been installed. This
label includes information about the standards met by the equipment and
necessary approval marks.
See Figure 1-3 on page 1-17 for the label and location on the Optical Metro
5065 shelf.
See Figure 1-4 on page 1-18 for the label and location on the OME1110
equipment.

HIP OFA and VG OFA label kit

The high input power (HIP) or Variable Gain (VG) OFA label kit, which comes
with these OFAs, contains
• a Readme page that describes where label information is located in the
NTPs
• labels to be applied by the customer at various points in their HIP and VG
OFA systems including:
— Caution: Invisible Laser Radiation label
— Hazard Level Indicator label
— Standard OMX Caution
Caution: Invisible Laser Radiation label
This label, shown in Figure 1-5 on page 1-19, includes the laser warning
symbol (IEC starburst) and the cautionary text. You have to peel and stick the
label on various passive products that appear downstream of the HIP and VG
amplifiers. Twelve of these labels are included in the label kit.

Hazard Level Indicator label

This label, shown in Figure 1-6 on page 1-19, includes a selection of
alphanumeric labels, which describe various hazard levels present at different
points in the system during operation of the HIP and VG amplifiers. You have
to peel and stick the appropriate hazard level on to the label on all passive
products that appear downstream of the HIP and VG amplifiers. Twelve of
these labels are included in the label kit.
Note: The HIP OFA circuit packs will have a hazard level label indicating
3A, k x 3A, or 1M. The 3A and k x 3A labels are in accordance with the
second edition of IEC 60825-2:2000. The 1M label is in accordance with
IEC 60825-2:2004. Circuit packs that are labeled Hazard level 3A or k x
3A are considered equivalent to Hazard level 1M under the new
requirements of IEC 60825-2:2004.

HIP OFA and VG OFA labels for Optical Metro 5200 OFA and Mixed shelves
and ECT installation kit
When even one HIP OFA or VG OFA is put in an OFA shelf or Mixed shelf,
the Caution: Invisible Laser Radiation label (see Figure 1-5 on page 1-19), if
it is not already present, in the bottom right hand side recess of the shelf cover
on the Optical Metro 5200 standard (12 U) shelf or the Mechanical Shelf
Assembly for OMX Variants (11U). When this label is in place, place the 1M
Hazard Level Indicator label (see Figure 1-6 on page 1-19) in the area below
the starburst.
Similarly, the OFA fan cover assembly requires the same two labels to be
placed over top of the existing cautionary text. Remove the “Class 3A Laser
Product” label if it appears. If an ECT installation kit has been ordered, then
the 1M Hazard Level Indicator” label, shipped with the kit, must be peeled and
put in place in the area below the starburst already present.
Using optical fibers

Optical fibers are either single or multiple core. The following information and
precautionary messages apply to all optical fibers.
Handling optical fibers

When you work with optical fibers, you must take the following precautions:
• Wear safety glasses when you install optical fibers.
Note: See “Typical laser safety eye wear” on page 1-35 for recommended
typical laser safety eye wear information.
DANGER
Risk of laser radiation exposure
Do not look directly into the optical beam. Invisible light can
severely damage your eyes. Keep all optical connectors capped.
• Do not look into the opening of an optical fiber, or the opening of an optical
fiber connector, if the optical fiber is active or the unit has the power turned
on.
• If you are handling bare optical fiber without a sheath, never look into an
active optical fiber or the optical fiber connector opening of an active or
powered-up unit
• Clean your hands after you handle optical fibers. Small pieces of glass are
not always visible and can damage your eyes.
DANGER
Risk of eye injury
If you have a piece of glass in your eye, get medical assistance
immediately.
• Do not handle pieces of optical fiber with your fingers. Use tweezers or
adhesive tape to lift and discard any loose optical fiber ends.
• Wear rubber gloves when you clean optical connectors. The gloves prevent
direct contact with the isopropyl alcohol and prevent contamination of the
ferrules with skin oils.
• Place all optical fiber clippings in a plastic container provided for that
purpose.
• Handle optical fibers with caution. Place the optical fibers in a safe location
during installation.
• Protect all optical fiber connectors with clean dust caps at all times.
• Follow the manufacturer instructions when you use an optical test set.
Incorrect calibration or control settings can create hazardous levels of
radiation.
Splicing optical fibers

When you splice optical fiber or when you must look at a spliced optical fiber
with a small magnifier, take the following precautions:
• Power off all laser sources to the optical fiber or disconnect the remote
optical fiber end from the laser sources before you start splicing. Make sure
that all laser sources remain disconnected or powered off. The sources can
be in a central office, on a subscriber premises, or in a remote location.
• Disconnect all optical test sets from the optical fiber before you start
splicing. The connections can be local or remote.
• Use only the optical instruments approved by your company.
Repairing optical fibers
When an accidental break occurs in the optical fiber, do the following:
• Report the location of the damaged optical fiber to both the central-office
and field-repair personnel.
• Power off all laser sources to the optical fiber or disconnect the remote
optical fiber end from the laser sources (see “Handling optical fibers” on
page 1-34 before you disconnect any optical fiber from a laser source). The
sources can be in a central office, subscriber premises, or a remote location.
Typical laser safety eye wear
Protective eye wear is recommended when working with optical fiber and
lasers. Laminated glass technology (LGT) eye wear that provides protection
against exposure to lasers in the 1064 nm to 1600 nm range is suitable.
Working with power

DANGER
Read and understand the power procedures you are performing.
Take necessary precautions and use the appropriate insulated
tools when working with power.
When installing power feeds, or performing routine power maintenance,

ensure that you:
• Read and understand the power procedures you are performing.
• Take the necessary precautions and use the correct insulated tools for the
intended function.
The Optical Metro 5100 can be powered from either an AC or DC power
source. When removing or installing the AC power module, ensure that the
power supply is turned off and the AC power cord is disconnected. When
servicing the DC power module, ensure that the upstream breaker on the
serviced feed is powered down prior to the removal of the module.
On the Optical Metro 5200 DC shelf or the Optical Metro 5100 shelf DC
power module, a tripped circuit breaker indicates that an over-current event has
probably occurred. Before resetting the circuit breaker, service personnel
must:
• Determine the parts of product fed by the circuit breaker.
• Determine if there are any obvious causes for the trip occurring in the
affected parts and associated wiring. For example, signs or odours
associated with an overheated component.
• Verify that the configuration of the power distribution elements is per the
installation instructions.
After resetting any previously tripped circuit breaker, wait near the product for
at least one minute to ensure that the fault has cleared and the product has
returned to normal operation.
When working with batteries ensure that you do not wear an electrostatic wrist
earth strap when working with standby battery supplies. Batteries are heavy.
Observe correct lifting precautions during installation.
Dissipating static electricity
The level of static electricity increases on your body when you move a short
distance. The increased level of static electricity can damage equipment. You
must wear both a heel grounder (that attaches to your leg and foot) and an
antistatic wrist-strap, or another personal grounding device when you work on
any of the following:
• network element shelves (including the metal frame and cover)
• cables connected to circuit packs
• circuit packs
Note: Heel grounders or similar worn footwear attachments work when
the floor is designed to dissipate static electricity. If the properties of the
floor are unknown or in doubt, use a wrist-strap and make sure it is
connected to a piece of electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding equipment
before proceeding with any maintenance or installation activity.
Any one of the previously mentioned grounding devices dissipate electrostatic

charges to the ground quickly. Use grounding devices correctly to eliminate
the electrostatic discharge (ESD) threat you pose to the equipment.
When you wear an antistatic wrist-strap and a heel grounder you must make
sure the grounding straps are in contact with a moist part of your skin. Connect
the grounding cord to the ESD (electrostatic discharge) grounding jack on the
maintenance panel.
The following list provides guidelines on how your company can ensure the
best ESD protection:
• Install bays on conductive floor coverings.
• Provide conductive shoes, antistatic wrist-straps, and heel grounders to all
personnel working on the equipment.
Preventing circuit pack damage

CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
Make sure you know how to handle electronic components
correctly before you start installation procedures. Incorrect
handling can cause damage to static-sensitive components.
CAUTION
Risk of shelf malfunction
Nortel recommends that you do not use cellular phones at
Optical Metro 5200 sites. The use of cellular phones in
proximity to Optical Metro equipment can cause shelf
malfunction.
Handling circuit packs

All circuit packs are subject to damage by rough handling or from electrostatic
discharge. When you handle or replace circuit packs, take the following
precautions:
• Wear an antistatic wrist-strap and a heel grounder, or another personal
grounding device before you remove a circuit pack from its package or
from the shelf.
• Protect each circuit pack that is not in active use on the shelf by storing
each one separately in a shielded box/antistatic bag.
• Handle each circuit pack by the faceplate or stiffener.
• Do not touch the solder side of the circuit pack, the pin connector, or the
components.
• Do not stack circuit packs on or against each other.
• Inspect all pin connectors on each circuit pack for damage before use.
• Inspect all circuit packs for damage before inserting into the shelf.
• Do not force circuit packs into their packaging material.
• Protect all optical connectors of the transmit and receive optical circuit
packs with clean dust caps at all times.
• Allow each circuit pack to come to room temperature before you insert the
component into the shelf.
Storing and transporting circuit packs

Circuit packs shipped separately from the network element shelf come in
shielded containers marked with the following symbol.
ATTENTION ATTENTION
OBSERVER DES PRÉCAUTIONS FOLLOW PRECAUTIONS
POUR LA MANIPULATION. FOR HANDLING
DISPOSITIF SENSIBLE AUX ELECTROSTATIC
CHARGES STATIQUES SENSITIVE DEVICES
Leave spare circuit packs in the original shielded containers until you require
the circuit packs. To prevent damage to circuit packs while in storage, follow
the procedures that prevent:
• accumulation of dirt or dust on the pin connectors
• damage to the printed-circuit board or its components
• warpage (to printed-circuit boards stored in areas where the humidity can
exceed 95% and the temperature can exceed 70°C)
Transporting circuit packs
When you transport circuit packs, pack each circuit pack in its original
shielded container and padding, or in a shielded bag. If you lose the original
material, use another shielded container.
Maintenance
For maintenance and equipment replacement of the Optical Metro 5100/5200
components, refer to Optical Metro 5100/5200 NTP library, Maintenance and
Replacement Procedures, 323-1701-546.

Action
Step Action
1 If you are installing the rack Then

in an IBN grounding Place the base insulating pad (part of the frame
network insulating kit NT7E6020) in the correct position
over the anchor holes in the floor (required for
IBN grounding). See Procedure 3-3 for more
information on IBN grounding, then go to step 2.
in a common bonding Use the frame mover kit to carefully slide the
network (CBN) grounding rack assembly into its exact position in the rack
network lineup. Check that the anchor slots in the rack
base and the insulating pad line up with the
anchor holes. See Procedure 3-3 for more
information on CBN grounding, then go to
step 4.
2 Plumb the lineup to determine the highest floor spot, as the reference for
leveling all racks in that lineup.
3 Use the frame mover kit to carefully slide the rack assembly over the
insulating pad into its exact position in the rack lineup.
Note: Check that the anchor slots in the rack base and the insulating pad line
up with the anchor holes.
4 Verify that the rack is plumb. Insert shims, if necessary, to correct the
alignment and leveling.
Note: For an IBN grounding network, place the shims between the rack and
the insulating pad so that they are within the outline of the pad.
5 Assemble and insert the required number of anchors.
For concrete floors, see Figure 3-3 on page 3-10.
For raised floors over concrete, see Figure 3-4 on page 3-11.
Make sure that you correctly insert the insulated bushings on the anchors into
the base anchoring slots.
6 Tighten the anchor bolts while verifying the level of the rack. Change the
shims if necessary.
—continued—

Step Action
7 Tighten all anchor bolts with a torque wrench to the following specifications:
• Standard anchor: to a final torque of 36 ft⋅ lb (48.8 N⋅ m).
• M12 anchor for earthquake (zone 4): to a final torque of 57 ft⋅ lb
(77.2 N⋅ m).
CAUTION
Risk of damaging equipment
Avoid causing any strain on the racks when connecting

Procedure 3-3
Connecting the rack ground to the office ground
Use this procedure to connect the rack ground to the office ground for a
standard Nortel rack. All other racks must be installed using the
manufacturer’s documentation. This procedure integrates new racks with the
grounding method of existing racks.
Equipment-grounding practices
There are two possible grounding methods that you can use when you install
telecommunication equipment: the common bonding network or the isolated
bonding network.
Common bonding network

In a common bonding network (CBN), the equipment has the rack ground, the
equipment logic ground, the battery return, the AC ground, and the building
ground all connected together to form a common ground.
Isolated bonding network

The isolated bonding network (IBN) requires isolating the logic ground, the
rack ground, and the battery return from a CBN, except for a single connection
to ground. A copper ground bar forms the connection for the single point
ground (SPG). A special example of an IBN is when there is a connection from
the logic ground to the rack ground.
An IBN is less susceptible to noise and transient voltages than a common

bonding network because it eliminates ground loops through the use of the
single point ground references.

Procedure 4-1
Determining the shelf position in a rack or cabinet
Follow this procedure to determine shelf and equipment positions in an
equipment rack or cabinet. When you complete this procedure, the mounting
screws are partially (half-way) inserted in the correct holes of the rack or
cabinet rails. This allows you to hang the shelves in the correct position during
shelf installation.
For additional information on acceptable shelf and equipment position, refer

to “Site requirements and equipping rules” in Network Planning and Link
Engineering, 323-1701-110. For more information on installation equipment,
see “Optical Metro 5100/5200 shelf installation kit”in Hardware Description,
323-1701-102.
Requirements
Before you start, make sure that the equipment rack has been installed (see the
chapter “Installing a rack (19-inch or 23-inch)”).
Table 4-3 lists the tools and materials required for determining shelf positions.

Determining the shelf position in a rack or cabinet
Action
Step Action
1 Start at the bottom of the empty equipment rack and measure the desired
shelf locations using a measuring tape.
2 Use the vertical fiber brackets (supplied in the Optical Metro 5200 installation
kit) as a template to find the correct mounting holes on the rack or cabinet rail.
See Figure 4-2 on page 4-11.
3 Line up the keyhole slots of the vertical fiber brackets with the holes in the
rack or cabinet rail.
Note 1: The top and bottom pair of keyholes line up with holes in a 19-inch
or 23-inch rack with EIA wide or universal hole spacing. The inside pair of
keyholes line up with holes in a 19-inch, 23-inch, or ETSI (535-mm) rack or
cabinet with 25-mm hole spacing. The holes on the vertical fiber bracket are
the same as the holes on the 19/23 mounting bracket. See Figure 4-2 on
page 4-11.
Note 2: The ETSI (535-mm) bracket (not shown) only has holes for 25-mm
hole spacing.
4 Insert one mounting screw through the keyhole into the rack or cabinet using
the vertical fiber bracket as a guide. Turn the screw half way into the rack or
cabinet rail. Make sure there is a gap between the screw head and the
bracket. See Figure 4-3 on page 4-11.
Note: If the mounting screw does not have an attached washer, take a lock
washer from the installation kit, and position it between the rack rail and the
head of the screw.
5 Let the bracket rest on the screw you inserted. Verify that the correct hole of
the top pair of holes on the bracket line up with a hole in the rail.
6 Line up a second bracket on the opposite rail. Repeat step 3 through step 5
to align the brackets on both rails. If necessary, remove the screws of one
bracket and adjust the position of the bracket.
7 If you have no more shelves to measure positions for, lift the brackets over
the screws and remove the brackets. Leave the screws in position on the
rails.
8 If you are installing another shelf in the rack or cabinet, repeat step 2 to
step 6.
Note: If you are installing a second shelf that is not a NEBS extension shelf
on top of a NT0H50BA shelf, Nortel recommends that you leave 1U of space
above the NT0H50BA shelf.

Procedure 4-8
Installing the optional air baffle on a shelf
Use this procedure to install air baffle (NT0H51CA) on a shelf.
The air baffle consists of a blocking plate and an air exhaust deflector. The
positioning of the blocking plate on either the front or the back of the deflector
determines the exhausted airflow direction. (See Figure 4-21 for an example
of rear air exhaust.) Without the air baffle, the air exhausts to the rear and sides
of the Optical Metro 5200 shelf at the top.
The use of the air baffle is always optional on the NT0H50BB shelf. Use the
air baffle only when the direction of the air exhaust is a concern. If the exhaust
direction (rear and sides) of the shelf is acceptable, the air baffle is not
required.
Note: On the NT0H50BB shelf, the NEBS extension is never required,

because the NT0H50BB shelf contains its own flame spread control
method.
The air baffle is also optional on the NT0H50BA shelf. Use the air baffle when
NEBS flame compliance is not required, but when there is a requirement to
control the air exhaust direction. When there is a requirement to have NEBS
flame spread compliance, the NEBS extension shelf required. However, it is
not possible to install both the NEBS extension shelf and the air baffle on the
same shelf.
Requirements
Determine whether the air is to be exhausted through the front or the back of
the baffle.
You require a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to perform this procedure.
Action
Step Action
1 Based on your air exhaust requirement, select an option:

If air requires to be exhausted Then position the blocking plate on the

Procedure 4-20
Installing an OMX (Standard) tray
Follow this procedure to install an OMX (Standard) tray in an OMX
(Standard) drawer. For OMX fiber labelling requirements in High Input Power
(HIP) amplified systems, see the chapter “Observing safety guidelines” and
Procedure 9-1 “Labeling cables and optical fibers” of the chapter “Fiber
management” in this book.
ATTENTION
The OMX (Standard) tray is assigned the PEC NT0H5730, and is installed
within an OMX standard drawer. The OMX standard drawer is a fixed part of
the 12U high NT0H50AA Optical Metro 5200 shelf assembly (1U = 44.45
mm). The OMX (Standard) tray houses (2) OMX modules with matched
wavelength bands. Each OMX module is ordered using PEC NT0H30xA
(where x = A,B,C,D,J,K,L,M).
Standard NT0H30xA OMX modules can be used in conjunction with the 11U
high NT0H50BA or NT0H50BB Optical Metro 5200 shelf assembly variant.
In order to setup the OMX (Standard) tray and OMX modules below an 11U
or 12U shelf, the NT0H44AJ OMX mounting kit must be ordered.
For further information, refer to Hardware Description, 323-1701-102.
When you complete this procedure

• OMX (Standard) trays are installed in the OMX drawer
• the laser radiation tag is attached to some fiber-optic pigtails, to comply
with safety requirements
Requirements
Before you start this procedure, the Optical Metro 5200 shelf (12 U high) must
be mounted in a rack or cabinet.

Procedure 4-24
Installing and grounding a second OMX drawer in an
OADM shelf
Use this procedure to install a second drawer in an Optical Metro 5200 shelf
for an OMX (standard). For information on equipment locations, see the
chapter “Site requirements and equipping rules” in Network Planning and Link
ATTENTION
The OMX (Standard) tray is assigned the PEC NT0H5730, and is installed
within an OMX standard drawer. The OMX standard drawer is a fixed part of
the 12U high NT0H50AA Optical Metro 5200 shelf assembly (1U = 44.45
mm). The OMX (Standard) tray houses (2) OMX modules with matched
wavelength bands. Each OMX module is ordered using PEC NT0H30xA
(where x = A,B,C,D,J,K,L,M).
Standard NT0H30xA OMX modules can be used in conjunction with the 11U
high NT0H50BA or NT0H50BB Optical Metro 5200 shelf assembly variant.
In order to setup the OMX (Standard) tray and OMX modules below an 11U
or 12U shelf, the NT0H44AJ OMX mounting kit must be ordered.
For further information, refer to Hardware Description, 323-1701-102.
For more information on OMX (Standard) drawers, see “OMX modules” in

Each Optical Metro 5200 12U shelf has a built-in drawer to hold one OMX
tray. The OMX that installs in this tray is for both east or west traffic. You can
install a second, removable drawer to hold an OMX tray for traffic of an
additional band directly below the first tray (see “Optical layer functional
blocks” in Network Planning and Link Engineering, Part 1, 323-1701-110).
An Optical Metro 5200 12U shelf supports a maximum of two Standard

Installing an ECT tray in a drawer
Follow this procedure to install an ECT tray in a drawer. For information on
equipment locations, see the chapter “Site requirements and equipping rules”
in Network Planning and Link Engineering, 323-1701-110.
For more information on ECT drawers, see “ECT” in Hardware Description,

323-1701-102.
Each optical fiber amplifier (OFA) shelf has a built-in drawer to hold one ECT
tray. The ECT that installs in this tray is for either east or west traffic. You can
install a second, removable drawer to hold an ECT tray for traffic of the
opposite direction directly below the first tray.
Note: Included in the OFA installation kit are labels identifying East or
West traffic. You should place these labels on the ECT trays after
installation, and traffic direction is identified.
An OFA shelf supports a maximum of two ECTs. Nortel recommends that you
install a second ECT drawer, even if you currently require only one ECT. By
installing the second drawer you can ensure that you have space in the rack to
accommodate a second ECT in the future.
Each ECT tray contains a splitter/coupler, miniature variable optical

attenuators (VOA), and an equalizer for C-band or L-band traffic, depending
on the model.
The interconnections for the ECT are the same for each model. Inside the ECT,
there are two inputs and two outputs for connections to the OFA C-band and
OFA L-band circuit packs. There are also optical transmission signal (OTS)
input and output adapters. You access these inputs and outputs by lifting a door
located on the top left side of the ECT tray. Figure 4-96 shows the location of
the connectors in the ECT. For more information, see the chapter “ECT” in
After you install the ECT tray, route the patch cords from the ECT through the
flexible fiber guide to the fiber management trough in the OFA shelf. You
connect the ECT patch cords to the OFA circuit packs after you seat the circuit
packs in the shelf. Refer to Procedure 9-12, “Routing fibers for the ECT tray”.
For ECT fiber labelling requirements in High Input Power (HIP) amplified
systems, see the chapter “Observing safety guidelines” and Procedure 9-1
