2 Drop the power cable into the frame through shields 2, 3, and 4 on a top feed PDC.
When the PDC is located in the middle of a lineup, only shield one will be left open
for analog or digital cables.
If the cable build up is heavy, it may be necessary to install cross-aisle cable troughs
and route analog and/or digital cables around the PDC, as shown in Figure 6. Verify
routing with Engineering.
Figure 6 Cable Routing Example for PDC in Middle of Lineup
3 When a PDC is installed in the middle of a lineup, plastic protection strips
(B0231978, enough for one PDC) must be placed on the trough to protect the cables
from sharp edges.
These strips are to be cut to length and installed along the inside edges of the troughs.
When installing cables in an existing PDC, ensure that this protection is in place. If
not, contact Engineering about obtaining plastic protection strips.
4 Terminate the A and B battery feeders to their respective bus bars. (A battery on right,
B battery on left as viewed from rear of PDC.) Refer to Figure 5 for TOP feed PDC
terminations of A and B battery feeders.
5 A reference sheet is enclosed with each T&B connector package. This reference sheet
gives detailed installing information and should be referenced before beginning any
crimping operations. The correct strip length and the proper number of compressions
(crimps) are included in the information. For more information, refer to Event 07
(Method 03-9057), "General Cabling and Torque Requirements."
6 Some customers require the use of long barrel lugs with Super Flex cable. Refer to
Specification 484 for the correct lugs. These lugs will have the number of crimps,
location, and die to be used marked on the lug.
If long and short-barrel lugs are provisioned, use the long-barrel lugs on the chandelier
end. Short-barrel lugs can be used in the frame where there is no movement of the
cable.
The hardware used to secure the cables to the chandelier is to be installed with the head
of the hex head bolt towards the center of the earth. The hardware is to be installed in
the same direction as the FBE/LRE cables. Refer to Event 06, "FBE/LRE Assembly

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
5.5 Forming Bundle Power Cables at the PDC Frame
Note: Skip this subsection if Bundle Power Cables are not being installed.
1 Power cables are bundled together and shipped to site with one end pre-lugged. The
lugged end is to be terminated at the FSP/MSPs of the equipment frames. The non-
lugged end of the cables are to be terminated in the PDC. The cable ends that
terminates on the PDC is secured in place by heat shrink. The heat shrink is to be
removed when the cables are terminated in the PDC.
2 DO NOT terminate bundled power cables in the PDC until the pre-lugged ends have
been terminated.
3 Bundled power cables should be run from the equipment frames to the PDC with the
slack being formed into the PDC frame. Once the correct length is determined, the
slack is to be cut off and discarded in a safe manner. Storage of cable slack may
become an issue if the PDC end of the power cables are terminated first.
4 Each individual cable has a cable tags attached.
5 Form the slack towards the PDC frame.
6 The bundled power cables will be shipped to site in unique bundles for each frame
being installed. The bundled power cables will be either 10 Ga., 8 Ga., or 6 Ga. There
will be 2 bundles per frame. One bundle will contain all of the battery return leads and
the other bundle will contain the power feeders.
7 Cables are to be terminated and formed in the PDC is indicated in subsections 5.5,
Forming Feeders at the PDC Frame.
5.6 Forming Feeders at the PDC Frame
1 Form the frame power feeders first. Do not tighten the nut closest to the insulator prior
to connecting cables at the fuse stud in the rear of the PDC frame. This action will
cause damage to the fuse stud or cause the stud to separate from the fuse clips in the
front of the frame. If the nut is visibly loose, tighten the nut to 5 in-lbs. using a torque
screwdriver. Do not tighten nut with any other type of wrench.
2 Route the frame feeders down the right-rear upright for the fuse panels mounted in fuse
positions 62, 58, 54, and 50. Route the frame power feeders for fuse positions below
shelf 45 down the left-rear upright.
PDC Forming Tool (T0145) is used as a template to provide uniformity in the power
feeder form into each fuse position and to eliminate cable cross-overs. The tool is
available in the Regional Tool Facility.
3 Form the feeders horizontally across the fuse panels.
4 Secure the form with ty-raps at every cable breakout or four inches apart
(example: fuse position at 1 and 9). Place cable ty-rap at cable breakout for 1 and 8,
and four inches apart between the two.
5 Form each individual power feeder out of the main form to each fuse position. The
length is to be four inches +/- 1/2 inch. The length is measured from the connecting
point to the inside of the main form. Ensure that the length of power feeder is sufficient
to prevent the 90-degree lug from straightening out.
6 Butt and strip each power feeder cable to install a crimping lug. Ninety degree lugs
are to be used. Refer to Event 07 (Method 03-9057), "General Cabling and Torque
Requirements," for proper lugs and crimping information.

5.8 Label Battery and Battery Returns on PDC Frame
1 The 750/500 MCM battery and return leads are to be labeled at the PDC frame and the
power source equipment. The label should describe where the cable is terminated at
both ends.
2 Use 145C number plate tags (A0024293) (U.S. applications) or E-8014/E-8015 cable
tie markers (Canadian/International applications) for this purpose. A black Venus
sharpie pen should be used. Use lacing cord to secure the 145C number plate to the
battery and battery returns.
3 On one side of the tag, 145C for U.S. applications or E-8014/E-8015 for Canadian/
International applications, the battery feeders should be marked PDC # BATT A or
PDC # BATT B. The battery returns should be marked PDC # A RTN or PDC # B
RTN.
4 If a chandelier is used between the PDC and power source, tags should be used on the
cables only if both cable ends are not visible for inspection.
5 The other side of the tag, 145C for U.S. applications or E-8014/E-8015 for Canadian/
International applications, should indicate where the cable is terminated at the power
source. If Nortel Networks terminates leads in power boards, the field technician shall
label per the termination points such as PWR BD 01, F3 or PWR BD 01, Battery
Return bar or customer requested method. (Generally, Nortel does not terminate these
cables in the power room and does not have this information readily available.)

5.11 Installing Fuse Panels into a PDC Frame
1 Ensure all necessary precautions are taken to protect both personnel and equipment
when adding fuse panels in an inservice office.
2 Live PDC frames contain high levels of dc current that pass through exposed and
unprotected bus bars. Wrap the A and B bus bars with rubber mats and sheet fiber.
3 Cover the lower capacitors with a rubber mat. Use only insulated tool kit K001356.
4 Remove all rings, watches, chains, and other metallic objects. Ensure at least two field
technicians are present throughout this procedure.
5 Remove the fuse panel lamp from the front of the new panel by gently pulling on it
while applying a back and forth turning motion. Store this in a safe location until the
panels are installed and wired.
6 Remove all the fuse holders form the new panels and store in a safe location. Inspect
the fuse holders and cartridges for damage. Repair or replace them, as required.
7 Before installing the fuse panels, pre-wire the Fuse Panel Alarm and the Frame Fail
Alarm multiples of the new panels.
8 a. Wire the Fuse Panel Alarm. Solder a length of #22 AWG wire to top stud of the
rear of the fuse panel lamp. The wire must be long enough to reach the TB strip located
on the lower, right side of the battery return panel (located on shelf 68).
9 b. Wire the Frame Fail Alarm. Solder a length of #22 AWG wire to the right pin of
the terminal marked B for the NT0X42UB or NT0X42AB A Feed panel or the terminal
marked C for the NT0X42UC or NT0X42AC B Feed panel.
10 This wire is used to multiple panels that are supplied by the same feed, and therefore
must be long enough to reach the previous same feed panel (approximately two feet).
Tape the exposed wire ends.
11 Prepare the area of the A and B feeds where the new panels will terminate by removing
the oxidation with a non-scratching abrasive material, such as a green 3M scouring
pad, and applying a thin coat of NO-OX-ID-A Special.
12 Verify the fuse panels to be added are correct using Figure 23 and Figure 24.

15 Use the TY28M ty-raps to properly secure the new fuse panel alarm wires along the
sides of the PDC frame.
16 Replace the trim panels and doors onto the PDC.
5.16 Wiring Fuse Panel Alarms in a PDC Frame
1 Each fuse panel's Alarm Lamp will be directly wired to the terminal strip of the return
panel at shelf 68. The terminal strip wiring will begin at the top left and continue to
the right, with the terminations alternating from the top to the bottom (i.e., wire Top 1,
then Bottom 1; then Top 2, then Bottom 2, etc.).
The field technician is required to wrap the wire around the TB pin at least two times
and then apply an even coat of solder to the wire. Each fuse panel requires only
termination to this terminal strip.
2 Route the alarm wire along the bottom of the terminal strip, and dress it with the other
alarm leads down the side of the frame to the fuse panel. Replace the factory stitches
with ty-raps, as required.
3 There is a maximum of ten fuse panels that can be installed in a PDC frame. The
Frame Fail Alarm for these panels will be wired in the following way. All NT0X42UB
panels below shelf 45 will have their B terminals multipled together, and all the
NT0X42UC panels below shelf 45 will have their C terminals multipled together.
Also, all NT0X42UB panels above shelf 45 will have their B terminals wired together,
and all the NT0X42UC panels above shelf 45 will have their C terminals multipled
together. No fuse panels below shelf 45 are directly multipled to any fuse panels above
shelf 45. Refer to Figure 29 and Figure 30.
4 Dress these alarm multiples along the upright with the other alarm wires.
5 All B terminal and C terminal multiples eventually terminate to the alarm cards located
at the rear of the PDCs FSP. The termination points on these cards are accessed by
removing the two left-side screws on the black metal plate that holds the cards, and
opening the panel.
Note: This panel is meant to hinge, and it is not necessary to remove all the screws in
order to lift off the panel.
6 Once the panel is open, the field technician will see that each card is designated as
either "PDC Alarm A" and "PDC Alarm B". Only the NT0X42UB fuse panels located
at shelf positions 41 and 54 will have their B terminals connected to the "PDC Alarm
A" circuit pack.
7 Also, only the NT0X42UC fuse panels located at shelf positions 37 and 50 will have
their C terminals connected to the "PDC Alarm B" circuit pack. All terminations to
both alarm cards will be made from the rear of the card, on the fourth pin from the
bottom. Refer to Figure 30.
8 The fuse panels are now installed and need to be tested. From the front of the PDC,
install the pilot fuse in each fuse cartridge of each new fuse panel added.
Using a paper clip or other similar object, push the pilot indicator in to activate the fuse
fail alarm. Ensure that an alarm appears at the following places: the fuse alarm at the
fuse panel, the PDC FSP frame fail lamp, both end aisle lamps, and at the MAP.
9 Remove all the protection installed in the frame and clean up the area.

Caution: Unseat 6X50s prior to wire wrapping (DSI) leads on the
backplane. Only unseat the 6X50s from the slots being wire
wrapped. After wire wrapping is complete, re-seat the 6X50s.
Caution: If you are working on an Inservice office you must
attach the Ground Cable immediately, before continuing to the
next cable. This will keep the exposed ground from touching any
Inservice pins and possibly causing an E1 outage.

June 28, 2002 Method 03-9059
Connector Key Brackets
1 There are two shielded cables (SEND and RECEIVE) going to each module, if the
frame is so provisioned. Each cable is split between the two shelves. On Domestic
and ISDN frames, use two (25-pair #22 AWG) NE-ABAM cables per module.
On International and Offshore frames, use two (120 ohm 18-pair #22 AWG) DMS
Interface cables per module. Refer to Figure 33.
2 Butt the cable below the cable bracket from the point where the cable is split going to
the two shelves.
Note: For Canadian applications, twist the wire leads with two twists per inch from the
point of the cable butt to the terminal connection (this applies to both the DSX and the
common peripheral ends).
3 Run the leads down the frame upright and form them across the cable bracket to their
termination point. Refer to Figure 33 and Figure 52. Ensure that the spare leads are
left with enough slack to reach the farthest termination point served by that cable.
Form these spares in the vertical form of that cable at the side of the shelf. Use fiber
tubing to protect exposed wire leads at the cable support brackets and any other
securing point. They should be protected wherever they are secured. The fiber tubing
is to extend approximately 1 inch above and 1inch below the traverse arm. Secure the
fiber tubing with ty-raps. Refer to Figure 51.
Caution: The rear of the NT6X01AF ISDN Ready Frame is
equipped with Connector Key Brackets (P0890551) in Slots 1-5.
These Connector Key Brackets are new and are standard
equipment on these frames. These brackets should not be removed.
If these brackets are removed for any reason, they must be re-
installed. In addition to the new Connector Key Brackets, sixteen
(16) additional pins were added per slot (slots 1-5 only) to support
the IPG card.

5 Spares are to be formed inside fiber tubing. The spare leads are to be formed in the
vertical but not secured under protective fiber tubing with ty-raps. Form spare leads
so that they can be accessed without removing the protective tubing at the cable tie
brackets.
6 Ensure that the SEND and RECEIVE leads extend from separate SEND and
RECEIVE cables. SEND and RECEIVE must run on separate cables from the
(I)CPCE/CPEI/CPEO frame to the DSX.
Note: When shielded cables (i.e., ABAM, etc.) are run to the DACS 4 cross-connect
panel instead of the DSX, these terminals will terminate on a common "Meet-Me" Bay.
The shielded receive cable is connected on the "Meet-Me" Bay tip to tip and ring to
ring. The shielded send cable is connected on the "Meet-Me" Bay tip to tip 1 and ring
to ring 1.
Note: Exposed leads of the send and receive cables are to be formed in separate
bundles to their respective termination points.
7 Strip and wrap the leads to the correct pins leaving about 8 cm (about three inches) of
slack for a service loop.
8 Ground the cable according to the Event 07 (Method 03-9057), "General Cabling and
Torque Requirements."

6.6 UFXPM Fiber Cabling to Peripherals
1 Fiber and switchboard cables are to be routed separately. Begin forming the cables
from the ENET cabinet to the Peripherals.
For Fiber Cable Bending radius, refer to Event 07 (Method 03-9057) "General Cabling
and Torque Requirements,".
(For upgrade or extension jobs, refer to Method 23-9957, XPM Fiber Loopback
Test, for information concerning when to make the fiber cable connections and refer
to Method 23-9960, Integration of DS30 5-Link Remote Switchboxes", for the copper
cable connections. Utilize the NT6X0251 Fiber cable conversion kit when upgrading
from copper to Fiber.)
2 Loosely secure the fiber cables together to aid in running cables. Fiber cables should
be separated from the existing cables by utilizing sheet fiber and lacing cord.
3 Route the fiber cables per the cable tags. The fiber cables are to be formed on the left,
rear upright of the peripheral frame. Refer to job specifications to determine if the
cabling is top or bottom feed. Secure the cables to the frame upright utilizing sheet
fiber and lacing cord.
4 There is a maximum of two quad fiber cables per Peripheral: one quad cable for
Plane 0 and one quad cable for Plane 1.
5 Form the cables to the side of the UFXPM brackets. Retain (loosely secure) the butt
of the sheathed fiber cable to the bottom of the plastic UFXPM bracket with a lacing
cord and sheet fiber. One cable is to be secured at the UFXPM shelf bracket position
18 and the other cable is to be secured at the UFXPM shelf bracket 32
6 The spiral wrap (R0111833) shall be installed between shelves 32 and 51 protecting
the fibers that cross over the FSP.
7 Fiber optic cables have special requirements for securing. The optical glass conductor
within the cable is very sensitive and may be damaged if excessive tension is applied.
Therefore, the proper procedures for securing fiber cables are as follows:
a. Wrap the fiber optic cable with one layer of sheet fiber at the securing point.
b. Use twine to secure the fiber optic cable. Stitches in the twine shall not be so tight
as to deform the cables.
c. When applying two band stitches above top transverse arm, ensure sheet fiber is
used at each band stitch location prior to stitching.
8 Connect the single strands of the fiber cable to the NT6X40DA paddleboard at shelf
positions 18, 32, 51, and 65. Form a loop(s) to take up the extra slack of fiber. It may
be necessary to adjust the exact position of the butt of the sheathed fiber cable to ensure
sufficient slack to obtain the minimum bend radius as defined in Event 7.
Two quad single fiber strand leads, which originate from shelf position 18 and
terminate at shelf 51, must be secured at UFXPM bracket position 32.
Two quad single fiber strand leads, which originate from shelf position 32 and
terminate at shelf 65, must be secured at UFXPM bracket position 51.
Retain the loop of the single fiber cable strand to the UFXPM bracket by utilizing the
RYCO fiber clip P0719841. There may be multiple loops under the clip but only from
a single strand of fiber. The fiber clip must be installed per Figure 53 or the optical
glass conductor may become damaged.

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002

It may be necessary to adjust the exact position of the butt of the sheathed fiber cable
to ensure sufficient slack is available to obtain the minimum bend radius as defined in
Event 07, 03-9057, subsection on Fiber Optic Cables.

7.0 Line Concentrating Equipment (LCE) Frame
7.1 LCE Frame Assembly
1 The LCE frame is a single bay frame consisting of a Frame Supervisory Panel (FSP)
and two Line Concentrating Modules (LCM) with two shelves each. Each shelf has
five Line Drawers (LD) subdivided into ten Line Subgroups (LSG).
2 If provisioned, each line drawer has a bracket mounted by the shop near the bottom of
each drawer. This is to control the cable protruding to the rear of the drawer. These
brackets should be left on the frame. If these brackets are removed to form the cable,
there will be a problem remounting due to cable buildup. It is suggested to form the
cable with the brackets on the frame.
3 If the rear covers are provisioned for the LCE, attach the mounting brackets to the
frame before any cabling operation is started. Refer to Subsections 7.12 and 7.13.
4 The line drawers are shipped in individual cartons and must be installed in the field by
the field technician.
5 Refer to Figure 54 for NT6X03AA configuration.

7.2 LCE Frame Line Drawer Handling
1 This procedure explains the proper way of handling the line drawers after they have
been installed in their respective positions.
The procedure concerns fully retracting (pulling out of shelf) the drawer to gain an
access to all line cards.
2 Each line drawer has a "hanging" system built into it. To fully understand the
procedure, first locate the notch at the bottom, left corner on the rear of the line drawer.
3 To fully retract the drawer out of the shelf, pull the drawer out until it is stopped by the
top stop latch. Ensure that the latch is engaged.
4 Gently lift the front and shift the drawer bottom about 1/4" to the right until the notch
on the drawer "finds" the "lip" on the bottom plate rail; then let the drawer rest against
the "lip."
5 The drawer in this position does not exert any pressure onto the top and bottom shelf
plates and provides an access to all line cards.
6 It is not recommended that the drawers are left in this position for an extended period
of time. Retract the drawers only when necessary; replace them as soon as completing
the work.
7.3 LCE Frame Power and Alarm Cabling
1 There has been a design change consisting of a reduced number of power feeder cables
and elimination of RG multiples. Field technicians are instructed to observe the
strapping on the frame's FSP.
2 If bundled cables have been specd, there will be one (1) run of -48 Vdc cables and one
(1) run of Battery Return cables. Refer to Figure 55 and Figure 56 for the codes of the
bundle power cables and their terminations for the LCE frame. The cables will
continue to be formed and terminated as illustrated in Figure 57. The bundled cable
end(s) equipped with lugs terminate at the LCE, the unlugged cable end(s) terminate
at the PDC. The PDC end will require lugging prior to terminating.
Note: Do not remove insulators from cable ends until just prior to lugging and
termination.

together the following punchings:
a. TB1-1T to TB1-3T (-48VA) LCM 0/1 LCA 0 RG0
b. TB1-3T to TB1-5T (-48VA) LCM 0/1 LCA 0 RG0

h. TB1-12T to TB2-4T (BR B)
i. TB1-11B to TB4-2T (RGR 0)
j. TB1-10B to TB4-4T (RGR 1)
5 The previous straps are optional. However, all LCE frames should have been shipped
to the field wired in this manner. The straps may have to be removed in the field in a
situation where the distance from the LCE frame(s) to PDC is greater than 61'.
6 The cable tags for the job will reflect this deviation. If the power cable runs are less
than 61', then for running and connecting, use the CA0X04 (issue 50 or higher) items
4AFM-4AFU. If the cable runs are over 61', then remove only straps 1 through 8 listed

7.4 LCE Frame Switchboard Cables NT0X26CE or CF (LD to MDF)
Note: There are two types of cables available for line drawer to MDF. NT0X26CE or
CF (CF is connectorized on DF end) is a 32-pair cable. NT0X96BB/BC is a 64-pair
cable. Refer to Subsection 7.5 for 64-pair cable.
Note: Using the RE-80105 cable tie marker, label the individual subgroup cables
indicating the LCM number and the line subgroup number on each 32 pair cable
(NT0X26CE/CF. This does not apply to the US installed jobs.
Note: The cable bracket mounted adjacent to TB2 at position 75 is not to be used for
securing cables. All cables formed on the right rear of the frame are to be formed to
the right of this cable bracket viewed from the rear of the frame. This bracket is
intended to ensure cables do not cover or route over TB2. Do not secure cables to this
bracket.
1 Switchboard cables (NT0X26CE/CF) are sent to the field in boxes of five cables.
Run each bundle of five cables down verticals of the LCE bay with line subgroups 00,
01, 02, 03, 10, 11, 12, and 13 down the right upright (rear view) and line subgroups 04,
05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 down the left upright.
Therefore, there are six line subgroup cables which are run down the left, rear frame
upright and four-line subgroup cables which are run down the right, rear-frame upright
for each LCM shelf.
2 The line subgroup cables run down the left, rear frame upright and terminate on the
three-line drawers on the left-hand side of the frame.
The line subgroup cables run down the right, rear frame upright terminating on the two
line drawers on the right-hand side of the frame. This applies to each line drawer shelf.
3 Each line drawer has one local cable and two switchboard (MDF) cables. Each
switchboard cable is split and equipped with two connectors (A and B).
4 Form the cables horizontally inside the U-channel at the top of each shelf with the shop
cable, and drop them down to each line drawer.
The length of the local control cable is to be 32 inches from the U-channel to the end
of the connector.
This measurement is taken after the line cables are secured as shown in Figure 60. Use
seven ty-raps through the holes in the channel to hold shop and switchboard cables in
the channel. The left most ty-rap must be routed through the top hole in the
U-channel to secure cables before they sweep to the vertical left side of the frame. The
subgroup cables will be formed such that the cable butt will be at least a 1/2" from the
top of the control spring.
5 There are 7 small holes in the back of the "U" channel. The holes are to be used to
secure the line cables to the "U" channel. Insert a ty-rap through the small holes in the
back of the "U" channel. The ty-rap is to be routed over the cables and looped back
around the cables and under the edge of the channel. Ensure that the ty-rap does not
pass through any cables or pinches any wires. The head of the ty-rap is to be located
towards the bottom edge of the channel. This will pull the cables towards the rear of
the channel. Refer to Figure 60 View A-A.
Note: The two furthest right cable ties should be installed as shown in the bottom of
Figure 63 so that the plastic cable protector is secured to the frame.

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
6 At shelf positions 04 and 38, begin with line subgroups 08 and 09 and work to the right.
The last line subgroups to be formed will be 00 and 01.
At shelf positions 21 and 55, begin with line subgroups 18 and 19 and work to the right.
The last line subgroups to be formed will be 10 and 11.
Once all cables are formed, any excess control cable resulting from this procedure shall
be pushed back toward the backplane. This is the area at the top, right rear of the shelf.
7 Dress local cable on top of the MDF cables. The MDF cable(s) should be dressed
against the control spring. Dress the local cables on top of the MDF cables. This will
give additional protection to local cables.
8 Do not connect MDF cables to unequipped and/or partially equipped line drawers until
cables have been tested.
Note: The ty-rap located at the top of the control spring, reflected in Figure 60, is to be
secured through the molded loop in the line drawer. This is the only ty-rap that is
secured to the line drawer. In Addition, the ty-rap at the bottom right hand corner
should be secured around the control spring.
9 Designate cables at line drawer and MDF ends with upper permanent peel-off label
from P0866901 cable tag. Refer to event 07 (method 03-9057) for details. The
connectorized end of the cable should already be identified by the cable manufacturer.

10 If MDF cables are supplied for unequipped line drawers, store the cables with
sufficient slack in the cable trough above the LCE to which they terminate. Ensure
enough slack is present for the cable forming at the rear of the drawer.
11 Prior to K-date (maximum of two days), check all A and B connectors at the rear of the
line drawers to ensure they are properly seated.

7.5 LCE Frame Switchboard Cables NT0X96BB/BC (LD to MDF)
Note: Using the RE-80105 cable tie marker, label the individual subgroup cables
indicating the LCM number and the line subgroup number on each 32 pair cable
(NT0X26CE/CF. This does not apply to the US installed jobs.
1 Each line drawer has one local cable and one 64-pair switchboard cable. The
switchboard cable (NT0X96BB/BC) is split into four connectors numbered A0, B0,
A1, and B1. Connectors A0 and B0 serve lower or even numbered line subgroups, and
connectors A1 and B1 serve top or odd numbered line subgroups.
Refer to Figure 60 for 64-Pair Cable (NT0X96BB/BC) Forming.
2 Form the cables horizontally inside the U-channel at the top of each shelf with the shop
cable, and drop them down to each line drawer. The length of the local control cable
is to be 32 inches from the U-channel to the end of the connector. This measurement
is taken after the line cables are secured as shown in Figure 60. Use seven ty-raps
through holes in the channel to hold shop and switchboard cables in the channel. Refer
to Figure 60.
3 At shelf positions 04 and 38, begin with line subgroups 08 and 09 and work to the right.
The last line subgroups to be formed will be 00 and 01. At shelf positions 21 and 55,
begin with line subgroups 18 and 19 and work to the right. The last line subgroups to
be formed will be 10 and 11. Once all cables are formed, any excess control cable
resulting from this method shall be pushed back toward the backplane. This is the area
at the top, right rear of the shelf.
Ensure that ty-raps do not interfere with the movement of the drawer and/or cables.
Failure to dress all cables, as outlined in paragraph 7, could result in the line drawers
being pulled out of the frame when the drawer is fully extended.
4 Dress and secure the cables at the "Dummy" line drawers as shown in Figure 60. Do
not secure the cables to the control spring.
5 Form all line drawers on the shelf and then work the slack back to the cable trough.
Cables are formed and secured with ty-raps to cable brackets.
6 For 64-pair cable, the shorter connector length should be the same length as the local
cable from the point where the line subgroup cable meets the local on the upper
U-channel. The shorter connector pair is used for the upper line drawer subgroup, and
the longer connector pair is for the lower line drawer subgroup. The MDF cable(s)
should be dressed against the control spring. Dress the local cables on top of the MDF
cables. This will give additional protection to the local cables.
7 Referring to Figure 60, the upper subgroup cable will be formed such that the cable
butt will be approximately 1/2"from the top of the control spring.
8 After all cables are connected, slide the drawers in and out of the shelf to ensure the
line cards do not touch the back of adjacent drawer. If they are found to be
scraping, keep redressing the cables until there is sufficient clearance between two
adjacent drawers.
9 Designate cables at line drawer and MDF ends with upper permanent peel-off label
from P0866901 cable tag. Refer to event 07 (method 03-9057) for details. The
connectorized end of the cable should already be identified by the cable manufacturer.
cables have been tested.

June 28, 2002 Method 03-9059
11 Loop control cables for unequipped line drawer positions up to the U-channel and back
down to the line drawer bracket. Secure the cables with a ty-rap at the top of the loop
and to the line drawer bracket. Do not remove the anti static protection supplied on the
connectors; they should remain in place.
12 If MDF cables are supplied for unequipped line drawers, store the cables with
sufficient slack in the cable trough above the LCE to which they terminate. Ensure
enough slack is present for the cable forming at the rear of the drawer.
7.6 LCE Frame Switchboard Cables for Metallic Test Access (MTA)
1 There are two switchboard cables for MTA. The cables run down the right rear frame
upright and are formed across the lower shelf on the FSP to the termination point which
are connectors C03 and C04.
2 The cables are secured to the cable brackets with ty-raps.

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
7.7 NT0X26CD Switchboard Cables (From LCE to CPCE)
1 There are four NTOX26CD switchboard cables per frame (one for each (I)LCM shelf).
These cables run vertically down the right, rear frame upright and are secured with
ty-raps to the cable brackets.
2 The cables are formed horizontally across each shelf to the termination point.
3 The cable terminates on the backpanel, position 5, on pins #10 to #25. Refer to Figure
61.
Figure 61 NT6X0401 Backplane
Note: The connector on the backpanel and the connector on the cable are designated E.
Ensure that pin #1 on the cable connector mates with pin #10 on the backpanel.
4 A second ty-rap is used to secure the cable connector to the connector key bracket. Do
not remove the existing small ty-rap from the cable connector hood on the ship loose
cables.
5 The head of the ty-rap is to be located on the opposite side of the bracket as the cable
ty-rap flush.

7.8 NT0X26DV Switchboard Cables (From LCE to CRSC/CIPE)
1 The NTRX26DV cable assembly connects between the LCE and the CRSC. The cable
has 2 connectors on one end and a single connector on the opposite end.
2 The 2 connectors are stamped "A" and "B". Secure connector "A" to LCA 0 and
connector "B" to LCA 1. Refer to cable tags for the termination locations and routing.
3 The opposite end of the cable terminates on the CRSC bulkhead connector numbers
C00-C09 on shelf 05 as per cable tags.
4 Route the NTRX26DV cable down the right rear upright (drop side S0). Secure the
cable to the cable brackets where possible. Dress the cables in with existing forms to
their respective terminations points. The cables are to be secured to the existing signal
cable bundle using ty-raps. Do not bundle with power cables. Do not remine ty-raps
from existing cable bundle.
5 The cable connectors are to be secured to the connector key bracket using a ty-rap. Use
the widest possible ty-rap to secure the connector to the connector key bracket. Locate
the head of the ty-rap at the "top" of the connector on the opposite side of the bracket.
6 Care must be taken when securing and forming the cable with connector "B". This lead
is 2 feet long and requires extra ty-raps. Secure this part of the cable with ty-raps
approximately 4 inches apart along the form.
7 Verify that the line drawer opens and closes without making any type of contact with
NTRX26DV cable assembly. If contact is observed, add additional ty-raps alone the
cable form until the cable does not interfere with he operation of the line drawer. Refer
to Figure 62, Figure 63, and Figure 64 for cable forming of the NTRX26DV cable
assembly.

7.9 (I)LCE Frame PCM-30 Line Drawer Installation
1 Certain steps refer to installations where coax cable is used. Ignore these steps if
twisted pair is used. If the coax cable at the line drawer end has not been assembled
with a line drawer connector and twisted pair assembly, refer to Subsection 7.10, "Line
Drawer Connector - Coax Termination Assembly 1."
2 The cable must be run from the DDF to the LCM frame.
3 As viewed from the rear of the LCM frame, twelve cables run down the left rear frame
upright and eight cables run down the right frame upright for each LCM shelf. The
cables which run down the left rear frame upright terminate on the three line drawers
on the left - hand side (rear view) of the frame on each shelf. The cables which run
down the right rear frame upright terminate on the two line drawers on the right hand
side (rear view) of the frame. Refer to Figure 65.
4 Table LCMINV, Field DRWRTYPE lists whether the drawers in the LCM are PLD or
STD. Ensure when forming the cables that they are being formed to the proper
drawers.
5 The cables are formed across on the inside of the "U" channel on the upper part of each
shelf and looped to the line drawer. The cables for the upper subgroup on the drawer
must be the same length as the local cable from the point where the line subgroup
cables meet the local on the upper U channel. The lower subgroup cables should be 4
inches (15cm) longer. The TRANSMIT EVEN and RECEIVE EVEN coax pair are to
be attached to the upper line drawer subgroup (TR1) and the TRANSMIT ODD and
RECEIVE ODD coax pair are to be attached to the lower drawer subgroup (TR0). Be
aware that on the PLD, the even numbered subgroup is the upper part of the drawer,
and the odd numbered subgroup is the lower part of the drawer. This is opposite to a
standard line drawer.

Figure 66 Coax Cable Connections to PCM-30 Line Drawer
8 The green frame ground leads must be ran back from the line drawer to the LCM bay
upright (refer to Figure 67). Viewing from the rear, six leads from the three left hand
drawers return to the left hand side and four leads from the two right drawers return to
the right. Notice that the leads must be looped backed and dressed to the back of the
line drawer as the coax cables are in Figure 67. Cut these leads to length at the
termination with the U-channel attaching screws, allowing adequate slack to install the
A0346856 termination lug to the lead.
9 Strip 1/4" from the end of each ground lead. Solder the frame ground leads together,
and crimp the leads into the termination lug. With a star washer, attach the termination
lug to the lower U-channel bracket screw as shown in Figure 67. Using a ohmmeter,
ensure the lower U-channel bracket screw has zero resistance between it and the frame
ground point located at the top of the frame upright.
10 Ty-rap ground leads with the coax cables underneath the U-channel. They may be run
above the U-channel and ty-rapped if no room is available underneath the U-channel.
11 At the DDF end, for each coax cable, attach the coax connector as outlined in steps 12
through 20.
12 Trim the cable to the dimensions shown taking care not to nick the outer braid or center
conductor. Slide the crimp ferrule over the cable. Refer to Figure 68.
13 Insert the trimmed cable into the back end of the rear body and slide the knurled crimp
barrel under the cable braid. Position the rear body so that 0.8 mm to 1.0 mm of cable

improperly or if re-assembly is required.
2 Prepare the coax by stripping the coax as shown in Figure 76.
3 Insert the white lead of the twisted pair lead into the inner sleeve of the Raychem solder
sleeve. Insert the blue lead of the twisted pair into the outer solder sleeve. Also, insert
the frame ground wire in the outer sleeve if the cable is a transmit cable. Snap the two
sleeves together. The lead of the inner solder sleeve must be brought through the rear
of the outer solder sleeve and pulled through till they snap in place. Refer to Figure 77.
4 Insert the stripped coax into the solder sleeve assembly such that the inner coax
connector slides into the inner solder sleeve connector, and is completely surrounded
by solder insert. Likewise, the outer braided conductor should be completely
surrounded by the solder insert of the outer sleeve. The thick blue part of the outer
solder sleeve should be around the outer sleeve on the coax and the thick blue part of
the inner sleeve should be around the coax dielectric.

5 Heat the outside of the solder sleeve assembly evenly using the Mini-Gun heating tool.
Heat until the tubing shrinks and the solder inserts melt and flow. Inspect the
completed connection through the transparent outer insulation.
6 Connect the twisted pair to the line drawer connector. The twisted pair length should
be 4.3 inches from the coax cable to the connector. For this explanation, the lead
connected to the inner coax lead will be referred to as Tip, and the lead connected to
the outer coax connector will be referred to as Ring. Figure 78 shows the position of
the leads in the line drawer connectors.
Figure 78 Lead to Connector Placement Chart
7 To connect the leads to the connector, insert the connector into the AMP Manual Pistol
Grip Tool. The connector is inserted into the guns slide with the wire inserts of the
connector feeding up. The connector is inserted into the gun from the left. Slide the
connector over to the desired pin in front of the gun head. Insert an unstripped wire
into the wire slot until the wire bottoms. Figure 78 gives the locations of where the
leads should be placed for each connector. Figure 79 shows the operation of the AMP
connecting tool.
8 Center the wire in the wire slot. Squeeze tool trigger until the crimp ratchet releases.
9 Release the trigger. The wire inserter will retract and the connector will advance to the
next contact position. If another lead is to be connected, proceed as in paragraphs 7
and 8.
10 Remove the connector upon completion by sliding it out of the gun to the right.

7.11 LCM Subgroup Cable Verification
1 When looking at the back of the LCE to be tested, each drawer has three
"snap-on" covers located on the side opposite from the LCM subgroup cable
connections. These thin slot covers protect the back appearance of the pins to which
the cables will be connected. The middle cover is more rectangular in shape; it protects
the control cable pins and should not be removed.
2 The other two slot covers should be removed carefully with a screwdriver by first
prying one end and then finishing by hand. Use caution when prying with the
screwdriver. If care is not taken, the blade can crush and bend pins that have to be
connected to for testing. This step only applies if slot covers are already in place;
eventually, slot covers will be shipped loose and pushed in after this procedure is
performed. Remove the covers for all drawers in the LCE being tested.
3 Mount the TAS Non-Res tape on an idle mag tape drive. Issue the following
commands at a MAP position to load the LMCUT program:
>MOUNT <tape drive #>
>TLIST T<tape drive #>
>COPY LMCUTSUB$FC SFDEV
>READ LMCUTSUB$FC
>DEMOUNT T<tape drive#>
The LMCUT program is now loaded.
Note: For NA009 (BAS10) and above, the TAS NON-RES tools needed for this
verification are available on the Commissioning Tape only. Contact regional TAC or

4 The LCE will be placed in cut state by using the cut-off straps (jumpers) and software
program LMCUT.
5 Obtain the yellow cutoff straps (A0285591) and install them into each line drawer of
the entire LCE. The strap will plug into the back of the line drawer near the top on the
left (cable side) of the line drawer. Refer to Figure 80 for a general location of where
these should be installed. Install these straps in every drawer of the LCE.
Figure 80 Installation of Yellow Cutoff Straps and Blue Binder Connection
6 At the MAP, issue the following command to initiate the LMCUT program:
>LMCUT
7 Issue the following commands for each drawer. Since each drawer has two subgroups,
use the EVEN subgroup number to represent the entire drawer. The first command is
a software execution that opens the relays on each provisioned card in the drawer.
>CUTOFF <frame #> <LCM unit #> <drawer #>
The following command releases software status of cutoff from the line cards.
Disregard messages and reply "yes," if warned.
>CUTOVER <frame #> <LCM unit #> <drawer #>
The following command releases the relays of the line cards; the yellow straps in place
will continue to hold all line cards for the drawer in cut state (open relays).
>RLSCO <frame #> <LCM unit #> <drawer #>
8 Cut the entire LCE, drawer by drawer, in this manner.
Plug for yellow cutoff strap

June 28, 2002 Method 03-9059
9 Before continuing, it is important to visually inspect the back of the LCE frame for the
following:
Cable reversals: Inspect each subgroup cable tag and ensure that even subgroup
cables are connected to the bottom subgroup of the drawer and odd cables are
connected to the top of the drawer.
Binder reversals: Inspect each subgroup cable to ensure that the "B" connector is
plugged in above the "A" connector. This can be verified without pulling these
connectors by assuring that the blue binder is plugged into the bottom portion of each
subgroup. Figure 80 illustrates how to inspect for this fault.
Loose connections: In many cases, these connectors are not securely locked into
position, if these loose connectors are not pushed in securely, the detector will indicate
open connections.
10 Following is a description of each part designated by its respective detail number.
Inspect the contents and locate all needed parts. Refer to Figure 81 for an illustration
of each part and SCATs typical hook up.
D1) Main unit Large brown metal box approximately 13X5X1
with a headset cord attached.
D2) Detector unit Small box with buttons and LEDs on the
front; this should also have a headset cord
attached to it.
D3) Power supply One wall mount power supply; black unit
similar to the type used to charge calculators.
D4) Control cord One cable with a circular, 8 contact plug at
one end and the other with female sleeves
also called Barrel Connectors.
D5) Headsets There should be two telephone headsets.
D6) Probe Cord with banana plug at one end and probe
at the other.
D7) Cable Four cables with AMP connectors at each end.
D8) Connectors Two, male to male, 2X32 connectors which
connect cables to the Main unit.
D9) Interface 2X16 connectors that are attached to the
connector cable (D7), allow connection to the back
of the line drawer.
11 After all parts have been identified, assemble SCAT. Refer to Figure 82.

Figure 82 SCAT Main Unit (D1) Connections
12 Each cable is designated by a number, 1, 2, 3, and/or 4. These labels should be facing
you, not the frame. Also, there is a special adaptor on one end of the cable (Detail 9).
Do not connect this end to the SCAT unit. This adaptor is designed to plug into the
back of the line drawer. Remember, this allows testing through the connection of the
A and B cables into the line drawer
13 Figure 81 illustrates the required connections to assemble the detector which will be
located at the MDF. Make all three connections indicated by the arrows.
14 In some cases, it is necessary to hook up and test directly connected to LCM subgroup
cables when, for some reason, the cables are not yet plugged into the line drawer. This
method is mentioned in this procedure and there are no restrictions regarding line card
state. However, there are restrictions when hooking up to the back of the line drawer
and testing through backplane pins. For each LEN tested, going through backplane
pins, the line card MUST be in LMCUT or the Line Equipment Number (LEN) must
not have a line card provisioned. These requirements are taken care of in this
procedure.

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
15 Place the detector unit next to the main unit and connect the barrel connectors to pins
17, 18, 19, and 20 as follows:
Pin 17 connect to the barrel connector label (G).
Pin 18 connect to the barrel connector label (7).
Pin 19 connect to the barrel connector label (L).
Pin 20 connect to the barrel connector label (T).
16 After all connection are made and with power applied, ensure that communication
between the headsets is possible.
17 To test the detector unit, take the probe connected to the detector unit, make contact
with the bottom pin on the left column of the upper set of pins, and push the reset
button. The preset button is only needed on the first pin.
A beep should be heard; continue touching each pin in an upper direction, testing the
fifteen pins.
18 If the audible beep is not heard, the unit may not be working properly. Check all
connections and repeat this test three times before a conclusion is made regarding the
functionally of the unit. If the unit failed the functional test three times, return it to the
Regional Tool Facility.
19 Tester A will be located at the MDF with the Detector unit; the field technician is solely
responsible for test control and interpretation. Tester B is located behind the LCE and
moves the cables between the Main Unit of SCAT and the back of the line drawer. The
field technician moves from drawer to drawer upon indication from Tester A that
testing is finished with the current drawer. The talk circuit allows this communication.
20 Tester A and Tester B should determine which drawer they intend to start with and how
they intend to sequence through drawers. Establishing this is important;
communication is lost during transition between drawers.
If continuity verification is to be accomplished directly hooked to subgroup cables and
not through the back of the line drawer, the cable that connects SCAT to the back of
the line drawer (part D7) will not be used. Instead, the Main Unit can be connected
directly to subgroup cables, as illustrated in Figure 83. The SCAT unit has the exact
pin translation as the back of the line drawer; hook the subgroup cables into the SCAT
just as they are plugged into the line drawer.
21 Figure 81 represents the typical hookup configuration.
22 Tester A should locate the "wire wrap" appearance of the drawer that is to be tested at
the MDF and connect the detector unit to the first two circuits (four wires) of the
EVEN subgroup of the drawer under test. For a bifurcated block, each appearance
has two pins as illustrated in the lower portion of Figure 84. The first circuit is for
power and ground respectively; the second circuit is for talk and logic. These four
leads supply power (7), ground (G), communication (T), and control (L) between the
two units; 7, G, T and L are labels on the control cable that identify the barrel
connectors. The control cable with the barrel connectors on one end and round, 8 pin
plug at the other, connects the detector to these circuits. These two circuits are
bypassed during testing; it is implied that the first two tip ring appearances (also
referred to as first two circuits) are connected correctly if the unit functions properly.
Figure 84 is an illustration of this connection.

June 28, 2002 Method 03-9059
Figure 83 Tester B, Connection of Main Unit Directly to Subgroup Cables
23 Tester A should locate two loose alligator clips that came with the unit. These alligator
clips have to be connected with jumper wire (not supplied); one alligator clip should
connect to the ground bar of the MDF and the other should be connected to the ground
(G) barrel connector on the control cable (D4). Figure 84 illustrates this connection.
The length of jumper wire that is cut will be up to the field technician. Cut enough so
the alligator clip connected to the MDF will only have to be relocated every couple of
LCMs.
24 After both testers have made appropriate connections, communication should be
possible and testing is ready to begin.
25 If the unit does not function as expected, check the following; it may assist in getting
the unit working.
Check for tip/ring reversals on the first two circuits that carry 7, G, T, and L.
Check for a binder or cable reversal on the MDF side.
Check and ensure that you are connected to the even subgroup at the MDF
side.
Check connections at the LCE side and ensure that the main unit is connected
to the back of the line drawer properly; the pins on the Main Unit have identical
translations as the backplane pins in the line drawer just as if you were to connect the
subgroup cables directly to the SCAT Main Unit. The cable between the main unit and
the back of the line drawer should be a "straight through" translation.
Check that there are no cable or binder reversals. Also, ensure that the
connections to the back of the line drawer are secure.

26 Connected to the detector unit is a probe. The probe is used to touch each tip/ring
appearance in sequence.
27 To start testing, place the probe on the first wire of the next circuit just after the
connection of power, ground, talk, and logic. While the probe is in contact, press the
preset button (preset option) relatively hard and assertively for about one second; the
unit should give an audible "beep". Remove the probe.

28 At this point, detection is known. Tester A can now start testing through the entire
drawer by finishing the even subgroup and proceeding directly to the first appearance
of the odd subgroup. While testing, as each lead is touched with the probe, an audible
beep is heard and the unit automatically advances to the next lead as long as the lead
previously tested was good.
It is recommended to start at the first appearance of the third circuit on the even
subgroup; however, repeating paragraph 26 on any appearance and continuing
from there in the same order allows the field technician to start from any
appearance desired.
29 While testing, the preset option is a strong tool. For instance, if during testing the field
technician happens to lose position, pick the last lead that was good, preset there, and
continue. This alleviates the need to preset at the beginning and start over if the field
technician becomes lost. Also, when testing, if a problem arises, the audible tone will
not be heard and the detector will indicate an open, short, or wrong lead. To double,
or triple check quickly, preset a few leads before the suspected problem and retest over
these leads.
30 Below is a troubleshooting guide that may assist in interpreting results from the
detector.
Initial unit hook up, no power or communication: Check for tip/ring
reversals on the first two circuits. Check for binder reversals and/or cable
reversals at MDF and LCE sides.
Annoying "buzz" in the talk circuit: Press the reset button on the main unit
near where the power cord plugs in.
Detector indicates open when an appearance is touched: Check the cable
plug and ensure it is securely locked in behind the LCE. Check the tip ring
pair at the MDF appearance; tip and ring may be wrapped together on one pin.
Inspect the wrap around the pin and ensure that the wire did not break off the
wrap.
Detector indicates a short: Check the tip ring pair at the MDF appearance;
tip and ring may be wrapped together on one pin.
Detector indicates a wrong lead: This is a common signal, tip ring reversal,
binder reversal, or cable reversal could be the case. Check for these problems
at both the LCE and MDF sides.
31 Ensure that copies of the S.C.A.T. Trouble Record Sheet have been made. Use this
sheet to list troubles found during S.C.A.T. testing and when the trouble was cleared.
Refer to Figure 85.
32 After the LCE has been verified, pull the yellow cut-off straps that were holding the
line card relays open. Do this for the entire LCE.
33 Push in the line drawer backplane slot covers. The cover will only snap in on one of
its edges, if it is difficult to snap on, flip the cover and try the other edge.
34 After all subgroup cable testing is finished, execute the following commands at the
MAP to dump the LMCUT program out of store file (SFDEV).

7.14 Wiring of 64-pair Linecable to NE66QN DF Connector Blocks
1 In most cases, 64-pair cable will be used between the LCM and MDF with the cabling
being connected to a 96-pair block at the MDF. Due to the mismatching of cable size
and block size, it will be necessary to split some of the cables between adjacent blocks
on the MDF. Typically, three of ten cables from each LCM will be split over adjacent
blocks.
This procedure can be used on zoned MDFs of 2, 5, and 10 zones as the splitting of
cables does not necessitate going from one zone to another. However, this procedure
cannot be used on 4 zone MDFs. As a result, all 4 zone MDFs will be provisioned with
32-pair cable.
2 When cables are split over adjacent blocks, the cable should be run down the left
vertical and split over to the right-hand block. The cables should always be split left
to right and not right to left.
3 Extreme care must be taken when installing extender arms on the Main Distribution
Frame (MDF). Loss of service to individual line(s) may result when installing the arms
if any wires are pinched.
4 Ensure that no wires are pinched anywhere on the MDF during the installation of the
extender arms by:
a. Removing the cable tie on the cross member to provide slack for the cable running
out to the terminal block.
b. Using a mirror, ensure no wires are pinched between the extender arm and the
frame prior to tightening. Refer to Figure 89.
Figure 89 Mounting the Extender Arm
5 Butt and strip the line cable in the normal fashion and separate the blue and orange
binders from the green and brown binders.
6 Cut a 1" length of P-43280 sleeving, and slide it over all the leads in the blue and
orange binders (taping the ends of the leads with scotch tape makes the process easier).
The sleeving should be slid all the way up to where the cable is butted. As an
alternative, an unsplit piece of the cable sheathing may be used in place of the sleeving.

The sleeving should be slid all the way up to where the cable is butted. As an
alternative, an unsplit piece of the cable sheathing may be used in place of the sleeving.
8 The blue and orange binders can now be fed into the connector block along with the
other 64-pair cables assigned to the connector block. The cables can now be secured
at the block entrance using the cable tie and bracket supplied. The sleeving should be
secured in this cable tie.
9 The green and brown binders can now be routed behind the mounting bar, under the
transverse arm and fed into the adjacent block. This cable, along with the 64-pair cable
assigned to the connector block, can now be secured at the block entrance using the
cable tie and bracket supplied. The sleeving should be secured in this cable tie. Refer
to Figure 90 for the proper configuration.

If the status field has a '-' in it, no lines are
datafilled in table LNINV for the drawer and
it will not be possible to busy the drawer.
3 Test each PCM-30 line drawer on the posted
LCM. Remember that each drawer tested at the
MAP represents one subgroup, or one half, of each
physical drawer.
>TST DRWR <drwr_no> OSvce Tests Initiated

If there is a problem with the 6X27 card, the
MAP will return the following message:
ILCM <frame> <bay> Drwr <no> Tst Failed:
PCM30 Line Drawer Failure.
If there is a BIC problem, the MAP will
return the following message.
ILCM <frame> <bay> Drwr <no> Tst Failed:

4 If the drawer test pass, return the drawer to
service.
>RTS DRWR <drwr_no>
The 'M' in the status field will change to a ''.
The drawer will then go to a system busy
state, signified by a 'S' unless it is connected
to a multiplexer. If it is not connected to a
multiplexer, it will return to a normal '' state
after a few minutes.
5 Connect the PCM-30 coax cables to a test multiplex-
er at the site. The multiplexer must be hooked up to
several phone lines to allow for test calls.
If the drawer is in a system busy state ('S'),
it will immediately return to a normal
operating state ('').

2 Troubleshooting Guide
Line Drawer Diagnostics: BIC Failure
If the MAP during line drawer diagnostics returns with the message:
ILCM <site> <frame> <bay> DRWR <drwr> Tst Failed: BIC Looparound
Replace the BIC card and test again. If it fails again, check the connection between the
line drawer and the control cable at the rear of the line drawer.
Line Drawer Diagnostics: PCM-30 Line Drawer Failure
If the MAP during line drawer diagnostics returns with the message:
ILCM <site> <frame> <bay> DRWR <drwr> Tst Failed: PCM30 Line Drawer
Failure
Replace the PCM-30 Line Interface Card and test again. If it fails again, check for bent
pins in the line drawer. If it continues to fail, replace the whole line drawer and test
again.
Test Failure: Call Processing Failure
If a call cannot be placed through the PCM-30 Line Drawer using the test multiplexer
and a pair of test phones, perform the following in order until the problem is resolved:
Replace the line card in the test multiplexer and repeat the test call.
Check in Table LCMINV that the line drawer is datafilled as a PLD line drawer.
Check in Table LNINV that the lines are datafilled as either T1ERTH or T1LOOP.
Check at the LTP level of the MAP that the lines have the proper directory numbers
assigned.
Recheck the coax cable for continuity between the DDF and the line drawer. Also
check for continuity between the DDF and the multiplexer. Also ensure that the

2 The first holes from the ends on the frame bonding bar (on the cable trough) are used
for installing cable braids from adjoining frames. This applies to frames in the middle
of a lineup.
3 If the frame is first or last in a lineup, the cable braid should be routed either to a frame
in another lineup or to the FBE bar.
4 The third hole on the frame bonding bar, on the left-hand side (looking at the rear of
the frame), is used to connect the cable from the left frame upright.
5 In non-ISG offices, the fourth hole on the frame bonding bar is used to connect ground
lead from vertical logic bar. In ISG offices, a #6 cable shall run from the vertical logic
bar to the LRB bar in the same lineup.
This lead must be identified with a P0633713 (U.S.) marker ty-rap. The marker will
show the terminating point of this cable on the opposite end.
8.3 Power and Alarm Cabling - I/O Frame
1 The battery and return power cables terminate on the rear of the FSP terminal strip
designated TB1. Terminals as assigned per FSP schematic drawings. The ABS supply
terminates on TB2 terminal strip.
2 The cables run down the left-rear frame upright and are formed horizontally across the
FSP.
3 Form cables and secure to cable brackets using ty-raps. The horizontal cables shall be
secured together with ty-raps at approximately every four inches to breakoff point and
at every other breakoff. Refer to Event 7 (Method 03-9057), "General Cabling and
4 Frame aisle alarm multiple cables are to be run between adjacent frames with the slack
secured to a traverse arm between the frames. Secure the slack in the vertical. Route
the frame aisle multiple cables up the right rear of the frame and through the cable
trough to non-adjacent frames.
Secure these cables with ty-raps to the traverse arms along with other cable.
8.4 Switchboard Cabling I/O Frame
1 Cables to the I/0 controller shelf should come down right-rear upright of frame and
form horizontally across the bottom of the shelf and vertically to connectors C00 to
C39. Secure horizontal and vertical form with ty-raps approximately every two inches
and at breakout points.
2 The field technician should identify all cables going from the I/0 controller to the
VDUs and printers. Use P0633713 marker ty-rap. Attach marker on both ends of the

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
8.15 Unpacking and Physical Inspection DPP /BMC II
1 Before unpacking the DPP (NT8X48AD) or BMCII (NT8M04), remove the
"Unpacking Instruction Sheet" and "System Packing List" from the top shipping
carton. As the DPP/BMC II is unpacked from the shipping cartons, check each
received item so that any material shortages can be identified as early as possible. Any
critical shortages identified should be reported, as discovered, to Nortel.
2 The DPP/BMC II is drop-shipped to site on a pallet and is enclosed in a heavy
cardboard box. The DPP/BMC II consists of two chassis that are attached together and
bolted to a self-standing metal shipping frame.
DPP: A space located beneath the lower shipping pad contains the hardware, cables,
and miscellaneous parts required for installation. Manuals and documentation are also
located here along with the defect tracking map for each disk (provided and required
for the 140 MB disk only).
BMC II: A space located beneath the lower shipping pad contains the hardware, cables,
and miscellaneous parts required for installation. Manuals and documentation are also
located here along with the defect tracking map for each disk except for the 380 MB
and 760 MB disks which have this data programmed onto them at the factory.
When unpacking, ensure that all individual items are removed from boxes, especially
under lower shipping pad.
3 An additional box may be provided, depending on the spare parts ordered with the
DPP/BMC II.
In the event that a return of any units is required, it is suggested that the shipping boxes
be saved until the DPP is installed and is operating properly.
General Precautions: Use extra care when working with DPP/BMC II cables to
avoid contact with live equipment. Refer to ISM/IM0 for guidelines.
ESD Precautions: Observe all anti-static handling precautions when installing and
performing maintenance on the DPP/BMC II. Utilize anti-static wrist grounding
straps, T9908 (U.S.) or ITA9813 (Can.), and anti-static heel strap (ITA9857) for
Canadian installations.
A socket is provided for strap attachment on the DPP/BMC II chassis. Refer to Figure
108.
4 Cover all equipment in the IOE frame below the mounting position of the DPP/BMC
II with canvas. By providing this protection, the equipment will not be damaged
electrically if anything is dropped.
5 Position the DPP/BMC II so that its front covers face the ceiling. The DPP/BMC II is
attached to the shipping frame with four brackets and eight screws. Remove and
discard.
6 Remove the DPP/BMC II front covers by first removing any packing tape and then
loosening the four thumb screws.
7 Remove the BMC II front covers by first removing any packing tape and then
loosening the four thumb screws. Remove any packing material or tape used to protect
the internal parts during shipping. For redundant BMCs, repeat for both chassis.
8 Using a screwdriver, remove the rear panel assemblies. Remove all packing material
while performing a visual inspection of all internal cabling and mating connectors.
9 Remove the IOE frame side trim assembly and IOE rear doors.


June 28, 2002 Method 03-9059
Figure 108 Chassis Ground Jack Locations
10 Attach the DPP/BMC II mounting brackets, one to each side of the unit, using the
screws provided. The brackets should be mounted so the offset of the brackets brings
the DPP front panel flush with the remainder of the IOE bay.
11 With the brackets securely fastened, carefully lift the DPP/BMC II and bolt it into its
appropriate mounting position as stated in Job Specification.
Note: Isolation Hardware is not required and should not be used to mount the DPP/
BMC II or Data Stream Interface (DSI) box.
12 Mount the DSI Box (NT6M98AA) above the DPP/BMC II using the DSI box brackets,
ensuring that the designations on the rear of the box are right-side up.
13 Replace the IOE frame side trim.
14 Carefully inspect all card, rack-mounted PCBs to verify that the correct packfill has
been shipped. Refer to Figure 109.
15 Each DPP/BMC II chassis is equipped with a power supply in the upper, left corner
(viewing chassis from front). The power supply is fully connectorized with three
multi-pin connector plugs (P8, P9, and P10), which mate with the corresponding J8,
J9, and J10 connector sockets.
Ensure that these connections are mated and inspect the power supply for any shipping
damage. Refer to Figure 110 and Figure 111.
16 Check the single slotted-head screw on the power supply's lower front flange to ensure
that it is firmly tightened.
17 Verify that the correct GMT type fuses are installed in the power supplies as follows:

8 The FSP punchings are used as tie points for direct PDC-to-DPP/BMC II cabling.
Tightly wrap two layers of NS 14090 black vinyl plastic electrical tape over the cable
butt and terminate the loose ends at the FSP/TB1 using lugs, as follows:
CHASSIS/FEED FSP TERM. COLOR SIGNAL NAME
A1 TB1-1 RED -48 VOLT
TB1-6 BLACK BATTERY RETURN
A2 TB1-2 RED -48 VOLT
TB1-7 BLACK BATTERY RETURN
If any of the above returns are occupied, TB1-8 and TB1-9 can be used in their place.
Note: If there is an MTD mounted in the same cabinet as a DPP, the DPP chassis B
(referenced as A2) will connect to TB1-4. The MTD will connect to TB1-2.
Note: A Simplex BMC II has only one power feed and battery return from the PDC.
Utilize job specifications to determine correct terminal strip termination locations.
9 If the BMC II is redundant, repeat the connections described in paragraph 6 for the A2
chassis.
After the wires have been soldered, assemble the EMI hood on the connectors
following the instructions provided with the connectors and attach the connector to
J15. When connecting the NT6M96AE power connector to J15, ensure that the small
D connector is plugged into the BMC II chassis connector correctly. It is possible to
force the cable connector into the BMC II upside down thus causing a short. The BMC
II will not power up if this connector is installed upside down.
10 Run specified power cable from the assigned fuses in the PDC to the FSP. Chassis A1
and A2 will be powered from the A and B -48V dc feed, respectively. For A and B
feed terminations at the FSP, use the information provided in paragraph 6.
8.17 Ground and Logic Return Cabling DPP/BMC II
1 The DPP/BMC II frame ground studs are located on the right side, as viewed from the
rear, of both the A1 and A2 chassis. The DPP/BMC II frame ground should be
connected as shown in Figure 118 and Figure 119 to the frame upright.
2 When connecting the NT8M99AH cable from logic ground to connector J17 (refer to
Figure 119.) ensure that the small D connector is plugged into the DPP chassis
connector correctly. It is possible to force the cable connector into the DPP connector
upside down, thus causing the short between logic and frame ground. The DPP will
not power up if this connector is installed upside down.
3 For ISG offices, the Logic Return will be connected. The Logic Return connection
should be made between connector J17 on chassis A only and the Vertical Logic
Return Bar. Refer to Figure 119.
Caution: The former Cook Division of Nortels standard cable
color coding differs from most manufacturers. -48V dc conductor
insulation is black; ground conductor insulation is red and white.
Ensure this color coding is observed when making power
connections.

8.18 Data Stream Interface Box Cabling DPP/BMC II
1 There are two sets of three controller cables ordered for the DPP/BMC II. They are
identified as NT0X96AA/DB for Read, NT0X96AB/DC for Write, and NT0X96AC/
DD for Control.
2 Attach these cables to the J connectors J1 Read, J2 Write, and J3 Control on DSI unit
DSI-0 and DSI-1. Run them horizontally to the right rear upright and up or down
upright to the IOCs identified in the Job Specification. Terminate these cables at
NT1X68 IOC port 1 for Read, port 2 for Write, and port 3 for Control.
3 Store the slack along the vertical or in cable trough 2 or 3 with digital cables. Refer to
Figure 113.
4 Attach the two NT0X26LM cables to chassis A connectors J2 and J3 and terminate
these cables at the NT1X67 IOC ports in IOC 00 and IOC 01, or as identified in the
Job Specification. The NT0X26LM connected to J2 must be cabled from the lower
numbered IOC. Route these cables as in paragraphs 2 and 3. Refer to Figure 113.
Please note that the NT1X67 and NT1X68 circuit packs should not reside in the same
IOCs, and that the IOCs need not be IOC 00 and IOC 01.
5 Confirm that the IOC shelves in which the two sets of NT1X67 and NT1X68 packs
reside are correctly interlocked. The interlock cable NT0X26AS connects the FSPs of
the IOE bays in which the DPPs duplicated IOC packs reside.
6 There are two ribbon cables provided with DPP/BMC II unit. Pin 1 on these cables is
marked in white. Pin 1 should be at the Top when the ribbon cables are plugged into
the DPP/BMC II chassis, and should be at the Bottom when the ribbon cables are
plugged into the DSI box.
Attach the NT6M99AG to DSI-1, connector J4, and terminate at chassis B connector
J9. Attach NT6M99AF to DSI-0, connector J4 and terminate at chassis B connector
J10. Neatly fold and route these ribbon cables along the top of the DSI unit, behind
the other DSI cables, and down the left side of DPP/BMC II to chassis A2. Refer to
Figure 113.
Adhesive-backed ribbon cable clamps are provided with the DPP/BMC II unit to
facilitate the routing of these cables.
7 There are two cables provided with the DPP unit- NT6M99AF/AG. In earlier model
DPPs, the cables are the flat ribbon type. In later model DPPs, the standard (round)
cable (Rel. 3) may be substituted in place of ribbon cable. The following provides
instructions on how to cable the new round cables NT6M99AF/AG Rel. 3.
8 There are two round cables provided with DPP unit. Pin 1 on these cables is marked
in white. Pin 1 should be at the Top when the cables are plugged into the DPP chassis,
and should be at the Bottom when the cables are plugged into the DSI box. The
connectors on the DSI interface box are mounted horizontally. On the DPP chassis, the
connectors for the cables (J9 and J10) are mounted vertically.
9 Attach the NT6M99AG to DSI-1, connector J4. Route the cable from J4 down to the
top of the DPP. Using ty-rap and a ty-rap mounting base (with the adhesive on the back
of the base), secure cable (1" after the bend radius) to the top of the DPP. This will
provide stress relief on connector J4. Continue to route cable along the top of the DPP
and then onto the left side of the frame/cabinet. Next, route cable down towards
connector J9 on the B Chassis.

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
10 To connect the cable to J9, remove and discard the connector plate screw closest to the
top-left corner of connector J9. Connect cable to J9 and then attach the ground lead
(the longer screw supplied with the cable) to the connector plate.
11 Attach the NT6M99AF to DSI-0, connector J4. Route the cable to the DPP B Chassis,
connector J10 in the same manner as the previous cable. To connect the cable to J10,
remove and discard the connector plate screw closest to the top right corner of
connector J10. Connect cable to J10 and then attach the ground lead (the longer screw
supplied with the cable) to the connector plate.
12 Use ty-raps and ty-rap mounting brackets to secure both cables. Ty-rap both cables to
the top of the DPP, 1" after the bend radius of cable NT6M99AF. Then secure both
cables to the frame upright, 1" after the second bend radius of the cables. Lastly,
ty-rap cables to the side of the frame 1" before the third bend radius (before cables are
connected to J9 and J10 on the DPP). Verify that there is no undue strain or stress on
either cable. Refer to Figure 120.

8.19 Alarm Cabling DPP/BMC II
DPP: Two types of alarm cables exist for the DPP: DPP Models NT8X48AA/AB/BA
require alarm cables NTNX69AB and NTNX69AC. All UL-chassis DPPs with 3.5"
disk drives (NT8X48BD and later) have Enhanced Alarm Cable NT8M99AN.
UL-chassis DPPs, NT8X48AD, may have either type of alarm cables NTNX69AB and
NTNX69AC or NT8M99AN.
BMC II: The alarm cables should be routed along the right rear upright. The alarm
connections should be made using 26 AWG 812A cable and the NT6M96AD Alarm
Connector Kit. Refer to the following connector wiring and Figure 121 for pin
numbering.
BMC II alarms are job dependent. Typically BMCs using the BX.25 polling protocol
will use the following three levels of alarms as described below. The Alarm and
Display Panel on the BMC II will have lamps for Critical, Major, and Minor alarms.
BMCs using other polling protocols may only use two levels of alarms, Major and
Minor. The Alarm Display Panel will have lamps for Major, Minor, and ERC (Error
Control - error detected during self test procedure) alarms.
Consult job documentation including Specification 466 for correct alarm assignments.
Also consult the vendor manual received with the BMC II for additional wiring
information.
Alarm Cables - NTNX69AB and NTNX69AC
1 The NTNX69AB and NTNX69AC alarm cables should be routed along the right rear
for chassis A1 and A2, respectively.
If the NTNX69AB and NTNX69AC cables are not provided, refer to the following
connector wiring below and Figure 121 for pin numbering. Connections should be
made using 26-AWG 812A cable and the NT6M96AD Alarm Connector Kit. After
this cable is built, refer to paragraph 2 for routing.

DPP Enhanced Alarm Cables - NT8M99AN
5 Prior to installing the Enhanced Alarm Cables, it is necessary that at least two
NT0X10AA alarm scan groups are available. One dedicated scan circuit is required
for each DPP. In addition, a total of three unused alarm scan points must be located.
These scan points do not have to be located on the same NT0X10AA alarm scan group.
Consult with your Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or job engineer to determine the
scan cards and the corresponding scan points to be assigned.
Installation of the Enhanced Alarm Cables will begin at the IOE frame, terminate on
the MDF for cross-connection to the NT0X10AA cards and then the cable will be
attached to the DPP. Each scan point of the alarm cable will be tested prior to final
termination to the frame.
6 Install NT8M99AN cable starting at the IOE frame to ensure the A1 P16 and A2 P16
connectors will reach ports J16 on both chassis of the DPP.
7 Route the 48 inch portion of the cable to the FSP of the IOE frame.
8 Wire wrap the leads of the 48 inch portion of the cable to the Power/Control and Alarm
card in the FSP. Refer to Figure 122 for the termination points.
Figure 122 Termination Points for DPP to Alarm Card
9 Route the 100-foot portion of the cable to the MDF. Figure 123 lists the
cross-connections between six of the nine leads on the 100 foot end of cable
NT8M99AN and the NT0X10AA scan card dedicated to the DPP. Wire-wrap
the leads to the following scan points:

10 The remaining three leads on the cable must not be connected to the scan card
(NT0X10AA) which is dedicated to the DPP because the remaining scan points on that
card are locked out by the DMS software. These three leads can be connected to any
other scan card provided that there are unused scan points. The three scan points do
not need to be located on the same scan card. Check with customer or job engineer to
determine the scan cards and corresponding scan points to be used. Wire-wrap the
three leads as shown in Figure 124.
Figure 124 DPP to Additional NT0X10AA Cross-Connection
11 The datafill for Tables ALMSCGRP must identify all of the scan groups to which leads
were connected in the previous step. Alarms critical, Major and Minor are defined in
Table DPP and controlled by DPP software. Alarms Thermal A, Thermal B, and
Sys Low Volt are defined in Table ALMSC. Refer to Figure 123, Figure 124 and
Figure 125 for the DPP Alarm Signal Names. Confirm that datafill exists in these two
tables. If the datafill does not exist, coordinate with TAC/ITAS or the job engineer to
determine the correct datafill for Tables ALMSCGRP and ALMSC. Refer to

8.20 Connecting the Incoming Modem DPP
1 The DPP utilizes a modem interface incorporating an incoming link conditioned to
automatically receive calls from the Host Office Collector (HOC) and upon request to
transmit data over the link to the host. Refer to Figure 128 for the location and
designation of DPP chassis connectors.
Figure 128 DPP NT8X48AD Left-Side Rear View Connectors
2 The method of connecting the polling modem is dependent upon the baud rate of the
modem used and whether the DPP is or is not provisioned with the 56K polling feature.
The DPP is equipped with the 56K polling feature if a 56K Interface PCB,
NT6M94AA, is located in slots A7 and B7 (refer to Figure 128).

3 Use Option 1 for DPPs not provisioned with the 56K polling option. Use Option 2 for
DPPs provisioned with the 56K polling hardware and using a 56K baud polling
modem. Use Option 3 for DPPs provisioned with the 56K polling hardware when
utilizing a 9600 baud modem.
4 Each option is intended to connect a dial-up modem which does not use a dial-back
unit. The interface to dial-up modems, with an automatic call back unit, is the
responsibility of the customer. The modem cable(s) should not be connected to the
DPP if the incoming polling modem(s) is (are) not available; unterminated connections
may cause ISG violations.
Option 1: DPPs not provisioned with the 56K polling feature.
Locate the following supplied items:
Modem cable NT8M99AG (provided with DPP) for connection between A1
chassis J1 connector and incoming modem (male DB-25 connector at either end).
Attach one end of the modem cable to J1 connector on the A1 chassis. Route the
other end neatly to the modem designated as the incoming call receiver, and attach
to the DTE connector on the incoming modem.
Option 2: DPPs provisioned with the 56K polling feature and 56K baud modem.
Modem cable - For Universal Data Systems modems and Datatel modems, the part
number of the modem cable is NTNX36BG/BZ. For General Data Com and
Amdahl Synt II modems, the modem cable part number is NTNX69AA.
Attach one end of the modem cable to J11 (Link #1) connector on the A2 chassis.
Route the other end neatly to the modem designated as the incoming call receiver,
and attach to the "DTE" connector on the incoming modem.
J12 or J14 (Link #2) can be utilized to interface a standby modem. J12 is utilized
if the standby modem is 56K baud. J14 is utilized if the standby modem is 9600
baud. The standby modem can remain connected when not in use.
Option 3: DPPs provisioned with the 56K polling feature and 9600 baud modem.
Modem cable NT8M99AG (provided with DPP) for connection between A2
chassis J13 connector and incoming modem (male DB-25 connector at either end).
Route the other end neatly to the 9600 baud modem designated as the incoming call
receiver, and attach to the DTE connector on the incoming modem.
J14 (Link #2) can be utilized to interface a standby modem. The standby modem
can remain connected when not in use.
5 Verify connection from the network to the modem.
6 Apply power to modem.

8.22 Connecting the BMC II Incoming Modem
1 The BMC II utilizes a modem interface incorporating an incoming link conditioned to
automatically receive calls from the Host Office Collector (HOC) and upon request to
transmit data (i.e., AMA call records) over the link to the Host billing center. Many
systems are also equipped with a second (optional) modem, providing Automatic
Dial-Up (ADU) which allows the BMC II to originate a call to the Host to request
BMC II polling, if required, or to deliver maintenance messages.
2 The modems used must have unrestricted, direct dial phone lines for each link
(modem) in the BMC II system.
3 The customer shall supply dedicated or DDD lines to each modem. Tip and ring
connections will be run for each modem. For DDD lines, tag each tip/ring pair with
the directory number for easy identification during later testing.
4 Modems should be located in nearest MIS bay to the IOE housing the BMC II.
Modems must be located within 50-cable feet of the BMC II.
5 Modem speeds up to 56K may be used with the BMC II. Refer to Figure 130 for the
location and designation of BMC II chassis connectors.
For non-56K polling applications, Rixon modems models 201, 208, and 208 A/B are
recommended. Refer to Figure 131, Figure 132, and Figure 133 for appropriate
modem option settings. Modems that have been factory tested and then shipped to user
have these options already set.

1 NT0X31AE or NT0X31AK cable troughs are required on the SLC and DNI frames.
Refer to job specifications for the cable trough to be used.
2 Connect the frame ground cable from the frame to the horizontal frame ground bar
located on the cable trough.
9.2 Cabling of SLC Frame
If a new peripheral is being added to an office with the links to an inservice 8X11
network during an extension, the following ESD precautions must be taken:
a. Before connecting new cables to the PSL connector, ensure that the new patchcord
for the assigned port is not installed yet or that the old one, if present, has been
removed.
b. During the PM redistribution, strictly adhere to the procedure described in
Method 70-5090, "PM Redistribution," Subsection 3.1, paragraph 8.
1 Route the cables down the right, rear upright for cables going to connectors
0 through 7. Route cables down the left, rear upright for cables going to connectors 8
through 15.
2 Use ty-raps and secure the cables to the cable bracket. The very first (top) bracket on
the upright should be sewn using twine.
3 The cable bracket is separated into three sections. Route cables going to the top third
of the frame in the inside section (closest to the front), cables going to the middle third
of the frame in the middle section, and cables going to the bottom third in the outside
section (closest to the rear of the frame).
4 Dress and form cables across the network and peripheral units using ty-raps at alternate
breakouts. Refer to Figure 135 for routing of cables.
Caution: A static charge will build up in cables when they are run
along the cable rack and/or in cable troughs. When such a cable is
connected to a working circuit, the charge in the cable will damage
the circuit and also damage the adjacent circuit pack.

connection to its proper torque value with the torque screwdriver tool. Refer to
Event 07 (Method 03-9057), "General Cabling and Torque Requirements." Do not
drop any washers, nuts, or tools into the backplane of the inservice network module.
10.5 Power Cabling of Additional Network Module
1 Ensure power converters are not installed in shelves requiring wiring.
2 With green 26 gauge wire, connect the converter drive and alarm leads from pins at
slot position 25 of the shelf to pins on TS1 and TS2 on the FSP. Refer to Figure 147
for Network Shelf to FSP Connections, for connectivity tables for each shelf. Run the
wires vertically, just to the left of slot position 25, and form horizontally across to the
FSP.
3 When adding a second network module to a live DSNE frame, with a digital voltmeter
ensure there is no battery potential on TB1-9 and 12 with respect to ground.
If, for some reason, the top terminal on TB1-5 and 8 are occupied with a battery return
lead running to the PDC ground panel, it is necessary to move these connections to the
bottom terminal of TB1. A temporary connections must be made that will ensure
continuity of the ABS return prior to moving the cable. Refer to paragraphs 4
through 7.
The battery return stud of each existing shelf must be strapped temporarily to the logic
return bar. Use two 6 inch jumper cables with insulated clips, and connect one end to
PC BR stud of the shelf and the other to logic return bar.
4 There are two versions of ABS multiples:
a. The older where the -48V and BR #14 cables are multiplied from PDC and from
frame to frame, TB2-1, 2 (-48V) and TB2-3, 4 (BR) to the end of the lineup and
then looped back to PDC.
b. The newer where only the -48V (TB2-1, 2) is multiplied from PDC and from frame
to frame to the end of the lineup then looped back to PDC, the BR (TB2-3) is
strapped to TB1-8.
5 If paragraph 4a version is encountered, there is no need for ABS back up strap.
However, in the case of paragraph 4b version, perform the following:
a. Use a C001444 80 foot cable and tape both ends. Route the cable by way of the
cable troughs or cable racks from the DSNE frame to the closest available and
undisturbed ground plate or if necessary to the PDC ground plate.
b. At the ground plate, remove the tape, and connect the 90 degree 1/4" terminal lug
to the vacant ground bolt position. Make a good tight connection.
c. At the frame end, remove the tape and connect the forked lug to one of the vacant
ABSBR terminals TB2-3B or 4B. Make a good tight connection.
d. Ensure that the cable is not in the way, and if necessary, secure the cable in places
where it may become a safety hazard.
6 Remove the PDC battery return lead from the top terminal of TB1-8, and reconnect it
to the bottom terminal of TB1-8.
7 Remove the PDC battery return lead from the top terminal of TB1-5, and reconnect it
to the bottom terminal of TB1-5.

June 28, 2002 Method 03-9059
8 Using 8 gauge cables, refer to Figure 147 for the cable code number, connect the
battery supply and return leads for each shelf (refer to Figure 141) to the appropriate
top terminal of TB1 on the FSP. Refer to Figure 147 for connectivity tables for each
shelf.
Run the battery and return power cables along the left rear frame up-right and form
horizontally across the FSP to the termination point. Field installed power cables are
to be formed with factory installed power cables. Torque each power connection to its
proper torque value with the torque screwdriver tool. Refer to Event 7 (Method
03-9057), "General Cabling and Torque Requirements." Do not drop any washers,
nuts, or tools into the backplane of the inservice network module.
Once these cables have been moved and new ones connected, remove the temporary
straps A8896 from the shelves and the ABS BR back-up cable C001444.
9 Do not secure cables to the frame or form with ty-raps until all crimping has been
completed. Follow Event 7 (Method 03-9057), "General Cabling and Torque
Requirements," for crimping procedures and dressing of leads.
10 Form and secure cables to the cable brackets with ty-raps. Secure cables, as specified
in Event 7 (Method 03-9057), "General Cabling and Torque Requirements."
11 Refer to Event 7 (Method 03-9057), "General Cabling and Torque Requirements,"
for wiring of the cooling unit.
10.6 Securing Switchboard Cables to Connector Key Brackets

11.7 AC TECH 90 Cabling NT0X27AC
1 Engineer will provision a metallic rubber covered cable (NT0X27AC) with a single
outlet on MAP pac pole end and recessed male plug on inverter end. Refer to Figure
154 for mounting alternating current (ac) outlet to cable rack.
2 The field technician should run the first NT0X27AC cable (recessed male plug) down
left rear upright facing rear of frame, and mount on left lower mounting bracket of
NT0X07AU (Frame position 09). The field technician should run the second
NT0X27AC cable (recessed male plug) down the right rear upright, facing rear of
frame, and mount on right lower mounting bracket of NT0X07AU frame position 09.
All "TECH 90" cables may be routed down the right rear frame upright if
ROTL/DTH is installed in MIS 01 in order to keep the analog cables separated from
the ac.
3 An easy way to do this is to run cables to the left mountings (facing rear of frame) down
left upright, and cables to the right mountings down right upright of frame.
4 These "TECH 90" cables should run in shield 4 to pickup racks going to MAP area.
The "TECH 90" cables are to be routed on L-brackets to the pac poles in the MAP area.
The rack going into the MAP room carries signal cables (power and signal cables must
be separated). Engineering drawings should be updated to include L-brackets for the
"TECH 90 cables.
Note: In order to terminate the TECH 90 cable to the rear of the inverter, a portion
of the metal shielding must be removed.

12.0 Dedicated MIS/Modem Frame for ISG
12.1 MIS/Modem Frame Cabling
1 The Dedicated MIS/Modem frame is provisioned only in offices with Isolated System
Grounding (ISG).
2 All equipment that is to be field installed into the Dedicated MIS/Modem frame must
be tested for ISG compliance per Event 6 (Method 03-9056), "Grounding." These tests
must be performed before the equipment is installed into the frame.
12.2 Installing Modem Units And Modem Shelves
1 If the modem units, modem shelves, NT3X25 common equipment shelves, DAS units,
etc., are not pre-installed in the frame from the factory, install them using the
NT0X0050 Modem Isolation Kit. This kit includes all of the hardware and cable
assemblies necessary to properly mount the units.
2 If the unit does not have a factory mounted ground screw, one will have to be installed.
This must be done before the unit is mounted onto the frame, if drilling a hole is
necessary.
3 Some units will have a hole provided from the manufacturer for installing a ground
screw. When it is not provided, a 5/16" hole must be drilled into the side mounting
bracket of the unit. Refer to Figure 155.
Figure 155 Installing Modem Units And Modem Shelves
4 To prevent damage from metal shavings or mishaps, do not drill any holes in the casing
of the units. Holes are only to be drilled into the mounting brackets that support the
units.
5 Install and secure all units with the NT0X0013 isolation hardware provided with the
NT0X0050 Modem Isolation Kit. Refer to Figure 156.
6 If the unit is too heavy for the NT0X0013 isolation hardware, it can be installed with
red insulators and "Z" brackets. Refer to Figure 157.
7 After the unit is mounted onto the frame, use a digital ohm meter to check for shorts
between the chassis of the units and the frame. Refer to Figure 156.

8 The digital ohm meter should read greater than 2.0 Meg ohm to infinity (open).
9 If a short reading is obtained (2.0 Meg ohm or less), check and repair the isolation
hardware until an acceptable reading is obtained.
12.3 Modem Unit Chassis Ground
Refer to Event 6 (Method 03-9056), "Grounding."
1 Generally, most ac modem units will have their chassis grounded to the vertical logic
bar in the Dedicated MIS/Modem frame with a #6 AWG cable.
2 Some dc modem units do not require this connection because their chassis is common
(shorted) with the battery return of the unit and it is considered to be grounded through
the battery return conductor. Therefore, do not ground dc modem units to the vertical
logic bar if their chassis is common with the battery return of the unit.
3 No other chassis grounds are required for the units (i.e., from FR GND terminals on
back of the units) other than those as described above.
4 Before grounding the chassis of any unit to the vertical logic bar, it must be tested for
ISG compliance.
5 When required, connect the chassis of the unit to the vertical logic bar with a #6 AWG
cable. Refer to Figure 158 and Figure 159.

12.4 Installing Inverter Units
Note: Inverters installed in a Dedicated MIS/Modem Frame must be isolated from the
frame as stated in this subsection. DO NOT apply this subsection to inverters not
installed in a Dedicated MIS/Modem Frame. Inverters installed in a MIS frame not
identified as a Dedicated MIS/Modem Frame do not require isolation. Do not
dismount any inverter from a frame until contacting your job engineer or TAC Center
to verify isolation hardware is required.
1 If the inverters are not pre-installed in the frame from the factory, install them using
the NT0X0053 Inverter Isolation Kit. This kit includes all of the hardware and cable
assemblies necessary to properly mount the units.
2 Install and secure all inverters with the NT0X0013 isolation hardware provided with
the NT0X0053 Inverter Isolation Kit. Refer to Figure 156.
3 After the inverter is mounted onto the frame, use a digital ohm meter to check for
shorts between the inverter chassis and the frame.
4 The digital ohm meter should read greater than 2.0 Meg ohm to infinity (open).
5 If a short reading is obtained (2.0 Meg ohm or less), check and repair the isolation
hardware until an acceptable reading is obtained.

12.7 Frame Vertical Logic Bar Connection
1 Connect a #6 AWG cable from the vertical logic return bar in the Dedicated
MIS/Modem frame to the LRB that is serving the IOE frames. Only the Core frames
(CCC, MEX, IOE, MOE, DMIS, and/or SuperNode) can be cabled to this particular
LRB. The maximum cable length from the Dedicated MIS/Modem frame's vertical
logic bar to this LRB is 50 feet.
2 The IOE frames at which the LRB is located are not always in the same lineup as the
Dedicated MIS/Modem frame. When this is the case, the #6 AWG cable must be
routed from the LRB in cross-aisle troughs to the vertical logic bar.
3 The hole located at the top of the vertical logic bar is used to connect the #6 AWG cable
coming from the LRB.
12.8 Frame Power Cabling
1 The battery and return cables are run down the left rear frame up right (rear view) and
formed across the FSP and inverter units to the terminal strips.
2 The cables terminate on the terminal strips as assigned per FSP schematic drawings.
3 The cables are secured to the cable brackets and to cable forms using ty-raps.
12.9 Frame Switchboard Cabling
1 Due to the many different types of modem units available, the forming of modem
cables will be left to the field technician's discretion. However, cables should be
evenly divided on the right and left frame uprights and formed neatly. Ty-raps are to
be used as required.
2 Secure all cables to the cable brackets and cable forms with ty-raps.
12.10 Current Loop and EIA Cabling
1 Only 20 mA Current Loop (CL) cables can be interconnected from the Dedicated
MIS/Modem frame to VDUs or printers in the MAP area.
2 All VDUs or printers must be CL or connected through back to back modems.
3 Only EIA (RS232) cables can be interconnected from IOE frames to Dedicated
MIS/Modem frames.
4 EIA cables cannot be interconnected from one Dedicated MIS/Modem frame to
another.
5 Any EIA polling device must be provisioned in a Dedicated MIS/Modem frame.

13.5 Installation of Inverters
1 For the installation of NT0X87AA/BA and LaMarche inverters, refer to Method
16-8200, "OEM and Inverter Isolation and Grounding," and Method
26-1346,"LaMarche NTRX59AZ and NT0X87AA Inverter Installation." When the
inverter is required on the frame, a default position is always shelf 04. If required, a
second inverter is mounted in position 11.
2 The alarms for the inverter(s) shall be run from the first bottom inverter punching
TB2-C (red 22AWG lead) to FSP terminal TB1-5. The green 22AWG lead shall be
run from the inverter TB2-NO to FSP terminal TB1-6.
3 If there are more inverters and/or shelves requiring alarms on the frame, the alarm
leads shall be multipled from the very first inverter at the bottom of the frame.
13.6 Installation of Equipment Shelves
1 The equipment shelves NT5X09AA and NT4X25BH (MD)/DH are usually shop
mounted; however, sometimes shelves are shipped loose to the job site.
2 Remove the shelf from the carton and check for any visible damage. All mounting
hardware is shipped with the units. If the units are damage-free, attach the adapter
brackets to the units as illustrated in Figure 165, if not already done.
3 The NT3X25AA equipment shelf does not need adapter brackets, it is mounted
directly onto the frame. Shelves NT3X25AA, NT4X25BH (MD)/DH, and
NT5X09AA must always be isolated from the framework.
4 Mount all shelves in their job assigned positions, refer to Figure 162. If there are any
discrepancies, contact your Job Engineer for the correct assignments.
5 For assembly of isolation hardware refer to Figure 163 and Figure 164. The
NT5X09AA shelf requires 8 mounting isolation assemblies. The NT4X25BH
(MD)/DH requires 4 mounting isolation assemblies while NT3X25AA needs 6
mounting isolation assemblies. The NT0X4303 Connector Mounting Assembly
requires only 4 mounting screws.

13.8 Frame ABS, Alarm, and Power Cabling
1 The battery and battery return power cables terminate on the rear of FSP. Terminations
are assigned per the FSP schematic drawings.
2 The cables are run down the left side of the frame and then across the bottom of FSP.
There are four feeds coming into the frame from PDC.
3 The ABS cable is run from frame to frame on the rear of the frame at the level of the
FSPs bottom.
4 If the frame is first or last in the lineup, the end aisle pilot cable connections are made
at the FSP. Connections are made to TB2-11 (-48V) and TB2-12 (AISALM2).
5 ABS cable must be identified at both ends. Refer to event 09 (method 03-9059)
subsection 5.7 and event 07 (method 03-9057) for details.
6 Run alarm multiple cable along the rear bottom of FSP. Cable NT0X26AE leaves the
preceding frame on C02 and connects on a succeeding to C01, and so on down the
lineup. Multiple ends at the last frame in the lineup.
13.9 Frame Power Distribution for NT5X09AA Shelves
1 There is a number of different configurations of the MOE frame. The job engineer is
to provide the wiring drawings for every extension job.
2 Figure 169, Figure 170, Figure 171, and Figure 172 illustrate a few examples of power
distribution interconnecting on the frame.

13.12 Installing NT3X25AA Equipment Shelves
1 This item is usually mounted in the shop. However, it may be necessary to install it in
the field.
2 A maximum of eight shelves can be mounted on a frame. Positions 10, 17, 24, 31, 38,
52, 59, and 66 are used when a frame is fully equipped. When other shelves are
furnished on the frame, the number of equipment shelves is reduced accordingly.
3 Run and secure, with ty-raps, the ac cords down the upright to the inverter(s) and plug
them into outlets J2, J3, and J4. Do not use outlet J1 since that outlet output is 170V
square ac for driving the old mechanical teletype.
4 The NT0X4303 Connector Housing Assembly is a shop mounted item and does not
require isolation from the frame.
13.13 MOE Frame Switchboard Cabling
1 In general, there are a number of cables run from the MOE frame to different locations
in the office. Cable tags for these cables have all pertinent information about
terminating.
2 Cable tags also indicate what side of the frame the cables should be run into the frame.
Recommended practice is to divide the total number of cables over two uprights. Bring
the cables for each half of a shelf down the same side upright.

bottom and break the cables off at each connector termination point.
4 Connect the cables to their respective connectors, then secure the cables in a bundle at
every second break off or every 4 inches from the center of the shelf towards the
upright. Any left over slack shall be pulled up and dispersed in the cable trough.
5 For modem pooling applications, the same logic shall apply. Usually these shelves are
mounted one above each other. Connect the cables to their respective connectors and
secure the same as in paragraph 4.
6 Refer to Event 7 (Method 03-9057), "General Cabling and Torque Requirements," for
the common cabling operations.
13.14 Work Inspection
1 Before moving on to the next task, inspect the workmanship on the frame by checking
the following:
a. Power connection location (installation) and quality (installation and shop)
b. Switchboard cabling location and connectors' connections
c. Securing of cables - no loose cables hanging off the uprights and the overall

14.2 ISME Frame Grounding
1 Logic ground at the TB1-7 terminal is connected by way of the bridge to TB1-2 and
TB1-5 terminals. This bridge is shop installed. Verify that the bridge has been
installed. External logic ground reference cable is not required. If that cable was run
and connected, disconnect and remove it.
2 If the bridge is not there, order P0805295 and install it when received. The bridge
terminations shall be done under the cable lugs on the top row of TB1 terminals. As a
temporary measure, make the straps from #8AWG with appropriate lugs.
14.3 ISME Power Cable Connections
1 Run the power as specified in the 4851 spec or 1400 spec.
2 When bundled cables are specd, there will be one (1) run of bundled -48 VDC cables
and one (1) run of bundled Battery Return cables. The bundled cable end(s) equipped
with 90-degree lugs terminate at the ISME, the unlugged cable end(s) terminate at the
PDC. The PDC end will require lugging prior to terminating.
Note: When Enhanced Alarm System (EAS) feature is required for the ISME frame
equipped with an Alarm Cross-connect Unit (AXU) shelf, all power leads will
originate from the power plant. This cabling information will be provided by the
power group. All other ISME frames (without AXU) will be powered by the PDC.
EAS feature is a standard requirement for the U.S. market and optional for all other
markets. For non-EAS applications, ISME equipped with or without AXU will be
powered from the PDC. (Refer to CA0X04.)
3 Terminate and form the power cables to the MSP prior to terminating the cables in the
PDC. The slack is to be formed in the direction of the PDC.
4 Note: Do not remove insulators from either cable end until just prior to lugging and
termination. Refer to Figure 179 and Figure 180 for the bundled cable codes and
terminations at the MSP.

For both top and bottom feeds, 90-degree lugs are to be used for both the top and
bottom of TB1 and TB2.
8 Remove safety covers from terminal strips TB01 and TB02. Save this hardware for
reassembly.
9 Power cables are to be routed through the power shields of the cable troughs. Route
the power cables across the top of the MSP and form them down at drop location S5
of the MSP and back towards the terminal blocks. The power cables may be secured
to the cable support bracket on top of the MSP. Refer to Figure 181
10 After all power and ground connections (bundled or bulk) have been made to the MSP,
add the removed safety covers to terminal strips TB01 and TB02.

13 Filtered and Special Battery Connection power cables are also terminated at the TB1
and TB2 terminal blocks. Filtered A2/B2 (Talk Battery) and SP A3/B3 (Special
Battery) are distributed over all equipped shelves.
14 Form and connect these cables as shown in Figure 182. For torquing the power
connections on terminal strips, refer to Event 7 (Method 03-9057), "General Cabling
and Torque Requirements."
14.4 ISME ABS and Alarm Cabling
ABS Multiple
1 The ABS multiple consists of a single cable (L-ABS) running from a PDC or preceding
frame into MSP. Figure 183 shows the location of these connections.
2 Move the P0737433 terminal cover on MSP TB02 so that it covers section P1 terminal
C and section P2 terminal C. Run the ABS cable from frame to frame at the rear of the
frames along the cable bracket at the top of the MSP to the right side of the MSP. The
cable from the preceding frame or the PDC connects to TB02 section P1 terminal A.
If the preceding frame is equipped with an FSP, the cable will be equipped with a ring
terminal at the FSP end. The cable to the succeeding frame connects to TB02 section
P1 terminal B. If the succeeding frame is equipped with an FSP, the cable will have a
ring terminal at the FSP end.
3 ABS cable must be identified at both ends. Refer to event 09 (method 03-9059)

14.5 ISME End-Aisle Pilot Cabling
1 If the frame is first or last in the lineup, the end-aisle pilot cable connection is made
with fixed length cable NT0X96KS. Connect the O2W wire of the cable to the gold
(bottom) terminal of the end aisle pilot light. Connect the O1W wire to the silver (top)
terminal of the end aisle pilot light. Run the cable from the end guard to the frame by
way of the cable trough. At the ISME MSP, locate cable NTRX4052 which originates
at MSP module 05 connector P6C. Locate the tied back O1R and O2R leads of this
cable which terminate in insulated male push-on terminals. Free these leads and using
the female push-on terminals on the NT0X96KS cable, connect NT0X96KS O2W lead
to NTRX4052 O2R. Connect NT0X96KS 01W to NTRX4052 01R. Refer to Figure
184 for the origination of the NTRX4052 cable on the MSP. Secure the joined cables
to the cable bracket above the MSP.
2 If the ISME frame happens to be in a lineup by itself, four A0288182 ring terminal lugs
and lengths of R0106540 (red) and R0106542 (black) wire will be supplied as well as
the NT0X96KS cable. Install the NT0X96KS cable to the aisle pilot light in one end
guard as per the first/last frame method. Then run the red and black wires to the end
guard on the other side of the frame by way of the cable trough.
3 The red and the black wires have to be double connected at the lamp. To do this, cut
the lugs off the NT0X96KS cable. Using the lugs (A0288192), crimp the Red wire to
O2W and Black to O1W and connect them to the lamp to their respective terminals.
Crimp the same code lugs at the other end of the Red and Black wires and connect them
to their respective terminals.
Note: Some NT0X96KS cables have been made with a 2x4 pin connector at the MSP
end. Cut this connector off and crimp two insulated female push-on terminals
(A0297938) on the O1W and O2W leads. Cut back unused leads and tape cable butt
with insulating tape.
Note: Due to manufacturing substitutions, some end guards may be equipped with end
aisle pilot lights having push-on rather than the standard screw terminals. In this case
it will be necessary to replace the ring terminals on the pilot light end of the cable with
insulated female push-on terminal lugs (A0297938).

14.6 ISME Alarm Multiple
1 The alarm multiple cables are terminated on the MSP module in position 05. Cable
from PDC or preceding frame connects at connector P7. The cable to the succeeding
frame connects to P8. These two connectors are located at the bottom of the module.
Pin 1 on these connectors is in the upper right corner when viewed from the rear of the
connected connector. Refer to Figure 184 for the location of these connectors.
Cable codes for these cables are as follows:
a. from MSP to MSP NT0X96HT
b. from MSP to FSP NT0X96HU
c. from MSP to 42" cabinet NT0X96HV (25 pin)
d. from MSP to 42" cabinet NT0X96HW (37 pin)
e. from MSP to AXU NT0X96HU
Note: There has been a contingent of the above cables built to the outdated specs. The
aisle alarms will not function in this case. If the aisle alarms will not work, take the
hoods off the connectors at the MSP end, 2x10 level 5 connectors, and re-assemble
them after turning the hoods 180 degrees. The design group responsible has been
notified of this deficiency and the corrective action has been taken.
2 If a cable is run from/to the adjacent frame, there is no need to run it inside the cable
trough. Run, form, and secure the cable, as required, depending on a configuration of
the lineup (from MSP to MSP, from FSP to MSP, etc.).
3 If the alarm multiple must be run in the cable trough, bridging the gap in the lineup or
some other reason; then each end of cable has to be tagged showing the far end
termination.

14.7 ISME Switchboard Cabling
1 All switchboard cables are connected directly to the back panel of each shelf or MSP
module. Each termination location is equipped with a plastic retaining clip.
Connection is made by simply inserting the cable connector into this clip until it is fully
seated inside the clip. All in-line (2x4, 2x8, 2x10, 2x20) connectors are polarized with
a connector key protrusion on the side of the cable connector which mates with a slot
on the plastic retaining clip.
2 Exercise caution while connecting these connectors.Be careful not to disturb any other
connectors on the module or backpanel. Also, when making a connection, line up the
cable connector with the receptacle and push the connector in straight to prevent
damage to the pins.
DS-30, MDF/WTA Cabling (Analog Trunks)
3 Looking at the rear view of a ISME frame, the switchboard cables are run vertically
down the right and left, rear uprights and secured with ty-raps to the cable brackets.
Refer to Figure 185 for example only.
Refer to Event 7 (Method 03-9057), "General Cabling and Torque Requirements,"
for rules about common cabling operations.
4 The ISME frame may be configured in a few different ways. Refer to Figure 185.
Configuration of each shelf may vary greatly within the frame and definitely from job
to job. Always consult your job drawings for the configuration of each frame/shelf.
5 The ISME frame may house up to four ISM shelves. One frame per initial office will
be equipped with three or less ISM shelves and the NT3X89CA Alarm X-connect unit
(AXU).
6 Each shelf may be configured for a number of digital trunks and a number of
analog/service trunks. Also, the whole shelf may be configured for either digital or
analog trunks. This will depend on the customer's requirements.
7 As shown in Figure 185, run all analog cables from MDF and/or WTA panel down the
left upright to their respective shelf positions. Since all cables are connectorized at this
end (MDF/WTA cables NT0X26LZ/NT0X96GL), connect them to their assigned
locations. Butts of these cables will be staggered along the cable bar above the shelf.
8 Cables on the back of the shelf for analog trunks have two connectors A/B, CP
positions 5 through 20. Ensure that connector A, Pin 1 mates with backplane pin 2A
and connector B, pin 1 mates with backplane pin 16A.
Secure cables to the bracket on top of the shelf horizontally with ty-raps. Secure the
cables to brackets vertically up the frame upright with ty-raps.

14.9 ISME Test Access (TA) Cabling
1 Test access cabling is a multiple within the frame. The Test Access (TA) is required
only in a TM8 and DMS300 applications. The multiple starts at the ISM3, bottom
shelf, where it's cabled from MDF by way of the cable NT0X96JJ.
2 The multiple ends at the last equipped shelf. If the shelf is configured as a TM8 and
the test multiple is not required, then the 2X4 loop connector NTFX40DF must be
plugged in the TA-A receptacle between CP positions 20 and 21.
If the office is using the NT2X90AD trunks for Improved Loop Test Access or
VER-90 applications, ISM shelves in positions 53 and/or 39 will be equipped with
NTFX44AA circuit packs. Each NTFX44AA pack will be cabled to up to four
NT2X90AD circuit packs. For ILTA testing, each group of packs is connected by way
of a shop installed NTFX40DW cable.
For ILTA VER-90 NTFX40DX, cables are supplied.
14.10 ISME Alarm System Cabling
1 When the NTFX40BA frame is provisioned with an NT3X89CA Alarm X-connect
Unit, the cables from other alarm equipment are run horizontally on top and bottom of
the AXU panel from the left upright.
Note: When the ISME frame is equipped with an AXU, the ISM shelves in positions
39 (Primary Alarm ISM) and 21 (Secondary Alarm ISM) are provided by the shop as
a group with interconnecting cables.
Each vertical run of cables will serve two connectors, top and bottom. Secure the
cables to the panel using ty-raps already provided on the panel. Refer to Figure 182
for the example of how to form the cables on the rear of AXU.
2 The alarm leads to the TB1 terminal block shall be formed from the butt location just
below the block up the right side of the block, then horizontally to the left to each row
of terminals. Use small ty-raps to make these forms.
3 Terminal rings shall be used on terminal block TB1. This is the cable from the
audible alarm panels. Crimp with the crimper (one crimp) and terminate under the
screw. Soldering is not required. The wire wrap pins should be left open for
cross-connections, if required.
4 Cables from the AXU to the shelf directly below, to alarm system circuit packs, are
installed in manufacturing. Position of these circuit packs will remain standard and so
will the datafill for the alarms.
5 The new AXU is very much the same as the previous one. The appearance is different.
It still contains connectors designated the same way as on the previous one, but these
are smaller.
14.11 ISME Designating
1 The designation labels are provided, on a job basis, to each job as required. Notes and
instructions on Spec 112, MS0X60AA and Event 11 (Method 03-9061),
"Miscellaneous Trim and Designation," Section 9.0, "Designating DMS Family
Equipment," shall be used as a guide for locating field-installed label locations and for
designating the equipment.

2 When the NT0X46AB frame is provisioned with an NT2X52 TM8 shelf, the cables are
formed horizontally across on the lower part of the shelf to the center. Form the cables
vertically from the bottom of the shelf up to their respective connector locations. Refer
to Figure 188.
3 When the NT0X46AB frame is provisioned with an NT2X58 MTM shelf, the cables
are routed down the right, rear upright and horizontally across the top of the shelf, then
vertically to the termination point.
Secure to the cable brackets vertically up the frame upright with ty-raps. Secure to the
cable bracket on top of the shelf horizontally with ty-raps. Cable connectors must be
secured to the connector key bracket with ty-raps. Ensure that connector A, pin 1,
mates with backplane pin 2A and connector B, pin 2, mates with backplane pin 17A.
Use a ty-rap (P0567226/U.S., RE80109/Can.) to secure the cable connector to the
connector key brackets.
Thread the large ty-rap through the holes in the connector key bracket and secure the
cable connector hood to the key bracket.
Locate the head of the ty-rap on the opposite side of the bracket from the cable
connector. Locate the ty-rap at the Top of the connector.
Cut the ty-rap flush. Ensure there are no sharp edges on the ty-rap when complete.
4 If NT2X58 shelf is mounted in position 32, the power feeders to FSP terminal strips
TB2 and TB3 may rest on the cable bracket on top of the NT2X58 unit. If this is the
case, the end of the cable bracket must be covered with sheet fiber to protect the cable.
5 For the MTM shelf, form and secure the cables with ty-raps at cable breakouts and at
4" centers on the horizontal cable arm.
6 When the NT0X46AB frame is provisioned with an NT3X89AA Alarm Cross-connect
shelf assembly, the cables are run horizontally under the cable trough and then
vertically to their respective drop panel. Each vertical run of cables will feed only one
drop panel. Secure the cables with ty-raps at each breakout. Refer to Figure 189.
Note: Due to design, the flip plates on the NT3X89AA will not function. If, at such
time, maintenance is required on rear of panel, cables would be accessed through the
front of the shelf so switchboard cables would not have to be removed to gain access.
If cables are entering from the bottom of the frame, use the same routing method as
when top fed.

22.2 BIX Frame Floor Preparation
1 Hold down material is supplied with the frame.
Note: When the frame is being installed on the raised floor, it is the customer's
responsibility to prepare the floor and anchor the frame to the floor. The customer may
have a special method for anchoring.
If the frame is being anchored to the concrete floor through the floor tiles, then the
customer shall cut and drill holes in tiles. The Nortel field technician anchors the
frame to the floor.
2 Referring to the floor plan, determine where the frame is to be installed.
3 Use walls, pillars, or whatever is marked on the floor plan for reference points. Make
a mark, with an erasable marking device, in two places slightly passed the beginning
and the end of the frame. Refer to Figure 220.
4 Obtain the frame's upright and position in the marked corner as shown in Figure 220.
5 For the very first frame, mark all four anchoring holes in the base of the frame. Also,
make a line at the end of the frame in the direction of growth.
6 When installing more than one frame, move the upright over the newly made line and
mark the next location. For every subsequent location, mark only two diagonal holes
as shown in Figure 220s shaded circles.
For example, if installing five frames the first and the fifth frame require 4 anchor
holes. Second, third, and fourth require only two anchor holes.
7 When marking is completed, securely store the upright out of the way. Do not leave
the upright standing up, always lay it down flat on protected floor.
8 Anchors for the frame arrive at the site with the frame(s) four for each section.
9 To drill holes and install anchors refer to Event 04 (Method 03-9054), "Level, Align,
and Secure Equipment." This event provides the procedures for installing and setting
anchors of all types used by Nortel.
10 Once all the holes are drilled and anchors set, erect the upright(s) of the frame. Do not
insert the anchor rods yet.
11 Before positioning the upright in its place, install the distribution rings, 3/4
respectively, on each side of the frame
12 Obtain one frame (upright) and position it over the anchors. Line up the holes in the
base with the anchor holes and the markings on the floor.
13 Insert the required number of anchor rods into anchors. Drive the rods into the anchors
so that only about 1" of the rod is left exposed out over the base of the frame.
14 Obtain the nuts and washers for the anchors and place them on the anchors rods.
15 Install all the material on the rods and screw the nuts only finger tight.
Caution: Never leave the frame's upright(s) standing up before it
is ready to be anchored.

June 28, 2002 Method 03-9059
Figure 220 Marking Frame and Anchor Locations
16 Level the frame side to side and front to back. If necessary, use the large washers to
achieve the level. Tighten and torque the anchor nuts as per information in Event 07
(Method 03-9057), "General Cabling Torque Requirements."
17 If there is a cable rack above the frame, install the "J" bolts to support the top of the
first frame. Refer to Figure 221.
18 If installing more frames, repeat paragraphs 11 through 17 for the remainder of frames.
Do not tighten the hold down hardware.
22.3 Assembly of BIX Frame
1 Anchor nuts on a multiframe installations were left finger tight for easier mounting of
shelves.
2 Using four screws, mount a shelf in the lowest position as shown in Figure 221.
Do not tighten the screws completely, just enough to hold the shelf securely in place.
3 Repeat paragraph 2 for the remainder of shelves in upward direction. These frames
come with 3/4 shelves, respectively.
4 Repeat paragraphs 2 and 3 for the remaining frames.
5 With the shelves and the frames still loose, the next step is to install the distribution
rings between all frames. Install two distribution rings per shelf using four screws as
shown in Figure 221. The rings span from the end of one shelf to the shelf on the next
frame. Do not tighten the rings, just snug them up so they hold the shelves together.

6 Repeat paragraph 2 for all frames installed until all the rings are in place, but still not
tightened.
7 Once all the rings are in place, start tightening them from the very first frame (upright),
the leveled and tight one, toward the end of the line of frames.
8 As the rings are being tightened, ensure that all frames go in level with the first frame.
In some cases, it may be necessary to use large washers for supporting the frame to
remain in level on uneven floors.
9 Once all rings are tight, frames in level, and shimmed where necessary, tighten the
frames' anchor bolts. Tighten the anchor bolts using torquing information in Event 07
(Method 03-9057), General Cabling and Torque Requirements."
10 The QMBIX10A mounts are mounted on each shelf (2) for the horizontal side of the
frame. They are also mounted directly onto the frame's upright on the opposite,
vertical, side of the frame.
11 Each mount has two key slotted holes. Drive the screws for the mounts halfway into
each position where the mounts will be secured. Refer to Figure 221.

12 Position the mounts to hang on the top screw and place the second screw in the bottom
hole of the mount. Tighten all screws for the mounts, keeping the mounts straight
vertically.
13 Grounding the frame is done by the ground bar located near the top of the frame. The
bar for each section of the frame has to be joined by a junctioning bar. Refer to
Figure 222.
14 When all ground bars are joined, run and connect the ground cable to the closest
building ground window. Consult the customer for the location of their building
ground window for that floor.
Figure 222 Grounding the Frame
22.4 Layout of the BIX Frame

2 The very first mount, upper left corner of the frame, will be used for MISC circuits or
MTA cards, SD cards, SC cards, test trunks, and any of the alarm equipment. If the
beginning of the frame is on the right-hand side, this mount will be located in the upper
right-hand corner.
3 The very next two/three mounts directly below the first one shall be used for DS1 links
and/or other interoffice trunking. Refer to Figure 223. Remaining mounts shall be
used for lines.
Figure 223 Layout of the Frame
4 Typical layouts of the mounts are shown in Figure 223 and Figure 224. Each job will
receive a set of typical and detailed stamping documents -B158.
Note: Some customers may have different requirements for the layout of the frame.
Any deviations from the layout presented in this subsection should have been agreed
upon between the customer and the Nortel Customer Engineer.
22.5 Cabling the BIX Frame
1 Typically, there can be two different procedures of cabling the frames, overhead and
under the floor. The only difference between the two is the entry into the frame. The
rest of the forming and dressing of the cables should remain the same.
2 The cables coming into the frame, should be run in on per upright basis. Refer to
Figure 224. All cables terminating on the blocks on that upright should be brought in
down/up behind the shelves, for both vertical (equipment cabling) and horizontal
(Customer distribution cabling) sides of the frame.
These mounts are
used for DS1 links
and IC/OG trunks.
This mount is used
for misc. circuits
and alarms.

June 28, 2002 Method 03-9059
3 For cabling earthquake applications leave 3 feet of slack from the cable rack edge to
the first point of securing on the frame.
4 Run the cables in to their respective positions through the openings in the upright and
the BIX mounts, for the vertical side, and through the openings in the shelves and the
BIX mounts, for the horizontal side. Leave enough slack, so that the cable makes a
loop all the way to the top of the mount and across the mount from one end to the other
and back.
5 Once all cables have been run into the frame(s), start securing the cables from the point
of entry (overhead or under floor cabling) towards their individual terminating
destinations.
Figure 224 Cabling the Frame
6 On the uprights of the frame there are little loops provided for the ty-raps for securing
cables. There are a number of them on each side of the openings in the upright. Secure
the cables for the horizontal side of the frame on the right side of the frame. Run and
secure the cables for the vertical side on the left side of the frame. Left and right when
viewed from the horizontal side of the frame.
7 Once the BIX block mounts are reached, fan the cables into their respective cable
openings. Make a sweeping turn from the mount opening to the left of the mount. At
the left of the mount, ty-rap the cables to hold the loop in that position.
8 Make a sweeping loop in cables from the center of the mount (up or down) to their
connecting strip in the mount.
Distribution cables
Equipment cables

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
9 Using ty-raps, secure the cables into one solid harness heading towards each individual
termination point (connecting strip).
10 Butt the cables at the level of each connecting strip where the cables are to be
terminated. Ensure that the cable butts are in correct places as per the job assignments.
11 Leave enough slack so that the stripped portion of the cable reaches from the left side
of the mount all the way to the right side and then back to the left, with enough slack
to connect the wires to the connecting strip.
12 Connecting of wires to the connecting strips is explained in Subsection 22.7 and in the
IBDN installation manual.
22.6 Wall Mounted BIX System
Mounting the Board on the wall
1 The wall mounted systems are usually comprised of a 1 inch thick plywood board that
is anchored to the wall and a number of BIX mounts that are fastened onto the board.
Purchase appropriate anchors and screws for the board. The board(s) is provided as
previously determined by the Nortel engineer and the customer.
Note: Procedures for mounting the board should be followed as described in this
subsection unless changed by the Customer specifications, drawings, and/or site
conditions. Any Customer changes to this procedure must be documented on a hard
copy of a drawing for record purposes.
2 Marking of the wall space is done according with the job specifications. If no job
specifications are available, then mark the wall as shown in Figure 225.
3 The board requires mounting holes, drill the holes in the board for that purpose. Refer
to Figure 225 for the location of holes. Mark the holes and drill them with the
appropriate size of drill bit to fit the purchased screws.

June 28, 2002 Method 03-9059
Figure 225 Preparing the Board
4 Once the wall and the board are marked, mark the locations for the wall anchors using
the board as a template and the measurements given in Figure 226.
5 Drill the holes and install the anchors that were purchased for the job. Information for
installing the anchors is provided in Event 04 (Method 03-9054), "Level, Align, and
Secure Equipment." This event provides the information for installing and setting all
types of anchors used in the DMS system. If Event 04 (Method 03-9054) does not
provide the information for your particular type of anchors, refer to the documentation
that comes with the anchors for the hole drilling and anchor setting requirements.
6 Mount the board on the wall using the screws purchased for that purpose.

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
Mounting the BIX Mounts
7 The BIX block mounts are mounted on the board in a particular pattern. Refer to
Figure 226.
Figure 226 Installing the BIX mounts
8 Mark the board with an erasable marking tool by making a corner mark according to
the measurements made in the previous paragraph. Line up the edges of the mount,
top left corner, with the lines on the board and mark the mounting holes. Use the
narrow slot of the hole for marking the holes.
9 Mount all BIX block mounts in their locations as per the job specs. The screws for
mounting the BIX block mounts are provided with the mounts. Use the distribution
rings for positioning and spacing after the first mount is in place.
10 As the mounts are being installed, install the distribution rings in places shown in
Figure 227. While mounting the mounts and distribution rings, notice that there is a
sort of locking system for installing the rings between the mounts and for stacking the
mounts on top of each other.
11 The important rule is that one should always plan for the expansion of the system, so
keep the mounts in a particular pattern for easier expansion in the future.
12 The wall mounted system is slightly different than the CPDF layout. In this case all
cabling is on the same side, on the surface of the plywood board.
13 Again, the very first mount, in upper left corner, is used for the alarms, MTA, test
trunks, and other MISC equipment. The mount just below is used for DS1 links and
other interoffice trunks.
14 The remaining mounts on the top of the board are used for line cables. If the mounts
will grow from right to left, then reverse the order of laying out the board.
15 All mounts on the bottom shall be used for distribution cables (customers cables).
This portion of the job is a customer responsibility, unless otherwise ordered by the
customer.

17 Bring the equipment cables into the BIX mounts from the top. To secure the cables to
the board, use available ty-rap bases in places shown in Figure 229 or position them as
best suited.
18 Bring the cables to the entry of the mount, make a sweeping 90 degree loop and bring
them down along the left side wall of the mount. Leave at least 30" of slack past the
end of the mount.
Figure 229 Forming Cables in the Mount
19 Butt the cables in level with each connecting strip. At this point, there should be
enough slack on cables to bring the stripped wires to the other end of the mount and
back to the beginning of connecting strip with lots of slack to fan and connect the wires
to connecting strips.
20 Secure the stripped cable to the connecting strip(s). Figure 230 illustrates how to tie
the wires to the strip, only one cable shown for clarity. Ty-rap and connect one strip
at a time. This operation is also explained in the IBDN manual.

22.7 Wiring the BIX Blocks
1 Once all the wires are tied to the strip, position the strip against its location on the
mount with the cable on the top of the strip. Size up the slack you will need to
manipulate the strip, such as: remove, turn it upside down, and/or possible
replacement of the strip.
2 Place a ty-rap into the loop on a connecting strip and around the stripped portion of the
cable, refer to Figure 231.
Figure 231 Fanning the Wires
3 Position the strip into place, click it into the BIX mount. At this point the ty-rap
holding the cable on the strip is at the right hand side of the mount. Do not tighten this
ty-rap yet.
The strip fits into the mount between two clips on each end of the BIX mount.
Temporarily, tie the loop of the cable to the side of the BIX mount to keep the slack in
place while fanning the wires.
4 Start fanning the wires randomly, meaning that the first pair falling out of the bundle
should run along the strip and be placed in its position.
5 Fan the pairs, not individual wires. Pick a pair and position each wire over the pair
splitter, just give it a slight push so that the wire ends up in the plastic cove. Do not try
to push it all the way into the connecting metal clip. A connecting tool is needed.
6 This operation is described and illustrated in more details in the IBDN installation
manual.
7 The following are the layouts of always equipped mounts. Figure 232 illustrates the
layout for a MISC equipment mount. This only applies to BIX mounts QMBIX10A.

8 Jumper running methods are shown in Figure 234 and Figure 235. Route the jumpers
through distribution rings, leaving enough slack that will allow tracing when
necessary.
Figure 232 BIX MISC Mount Layout
9 Run and connect the jumpers on per half connecting strip basis. Meaning that the
jumper for the left side of connecting strip will be routed through the left side
distribution rings and the same will apply to the right hand side. This eliminates any
crossing of jumpers at the connecting strip.
10 Running jumpers on the Wall System is similar to the frame, except that instead of
routing and connecting on a per half connecting strip basis, this is on per whole
connecting strip basis. However, if there is only a single column of mounts, then split
the connecting strip in two halves. Refer to Figure 233.
11 There is a quick connect tool specially designed for connecting the wires to the BIX
connecting strips. There is a feature on the connecting tool whereby one can use the
tool in a no-cut or cut position. The no-cut position will just insert the wire into the
metal connecting clip but will leave the slack on the other side of connecting strip.

wire flush with the connecting strip edge. These features can be selected by turning
the selector button on the tool's handle.
Figure 233 BIX Lines Mount Layout (Example)
13 When the tool is used in a cut position, the cutter (the dark metal on the tool's shaft)
should be turned in the direction of the wire end to be cut off. For additional
information, refer to the IBDN manual.
14 When using the tool, position the tool over the wire, hold the tool perpendicularly to
the connecting strip, and give it a slight push until the wire is fully inserted.
15 After all wires are inserted and cut, inspect the wires for a proper position to make sure
that all wires made a good connection. Look at the row of wires on the connecting strip
from a side, ensure that all the wires are seated all the way at the end of the connecting
groove. For additional information, refer to the IBDN manual.

25.0 MVIE and RSCE Frame Procedure
25.1 MVIE/MVDD and RSCE Frame Overview
1 MVIE frame is configured as follows:
MVIE frame provides Multi Vendor Interface to a DMS host. It supports up to 96
DS1 per Remote Digital Terminal (RDT) and operates only with ENET or JNET
in a DMS-100 SuperNode environment.
The MVIE SMA2 module is defined as one CPM2 shelf and one-half of one
extension shelf. Therefore, there are two SMA2 modules in a MVIE frame. SMA2
Module 00 includes CPM2 00 (shelf 16) and left side of Extension shelf 00 (shelf
30). SMA2 Module 01 includes CPM2 01(shelf 44) and right side of Extension
shelf 00 (shelf 30).
MVDD (Multi-Vendor Double Density) frames interface to a DMS-100 host. The
MVDD frame is a repackaging of the MVIE Remote to allow for four, (4) CPM2
shelves per frame. CPM2 00 and 01 will be provided fully configured with circuit
packs and CPM2 02 and 03, provisionable as required. All necessary equipment,
except circuit packs, will be provided, including shelf mechanicals, MSP Circuit
Packs and Power/Alarm wiring, within the frame.
Note: There is no Extension or Expansion shelf provisionable in the MVDD and it is
not recommended for customers interested in ISDN BRI support.
2 The Common Peripheral Module 2 (CPM2) shelf will be referenced throughout this
section. The CPM2 can be either a Subscriber Carrier Module (SMA2) or a Remote
Cluster Controller Shelf (RCC2), depending on the packfill and/or software load. The
section will indicate if the procedure applies to SMA2 or RCC2 specifically.
3 RSCE frame provides interface to a DMS remote. It supports up to 46 DS1s per
Remote Digital Terminal (RDT) and operates only with a LTC in a DMS-100
SuperNode environment.
The first RCC2 is always provided in a RSCE frame. The second RCC2 shelf and
CEXT shelf are provisionable.
Refer to Figure 258 for the physical layout of MVIE/RSCE frame.

DCH (RCC2)/EDCH (SMA2) ports may be provided in various combinations. Refer
to Figure 260 for the circuit pack layout in the CPM2 shelf.
The CPM2 utilizes a Quad Carrier circuit pack which mounts four DS-1 "packlets."
Each packlet provides two DS-1/PCM30 interfaces. Each slot provisioned with a
Quad Carrier may have up to eight DS1/PCM30s. Refer to Figure 260 and Figure 261

EXT Shelf (Extension) Note: MVDD version does not support this shelf.
5 The CPM2 shelf is linked to the EXT shelf by way of DS-60 links.
6 The EXT shelf is two functional modules on a single card cage. Slots 1 through 13
constitute module 0, and slots 14 through 26 make up Module 1. Each module is
further broken down into two logical units (0 and 1) which provide redundancy.
Each module on the EXT shelf is provisioned independently. The left module (as
viewed from the front) is provisioned in support of the first CPM2 shelf (located in
position 16) and the right module is provisioned to support the second RCC2 shelf
(located in position 44).
7 Provisioning the EXT shelf enables the assignment of up to forty-eight (48) DS-1/
PCM30 P side ports or up to eight (8) EDCH (SMA2)/DCH (RCC2) ports at a cost of
DS-1 ports.
8 The ports for an extension shelf counts as follows:
Left side slot 4 and right side slot 23 controls ports 24 thru 31
9 Refer to Figure 262 for an example of the EXT shelf layout.

5 Each frame will have an ABS cable IN (slot 08, connector P1A) and an ABS cable
OUT (slot 08, connector P1B). The ABS cannot end, but must make a complete loop
back to the first originating frame.
6 The ABS cables are to be routed per the cable tags and CA0X04 Note 90. "When
cables are run between units in the same equipment position on adjacent frames, the
finished cable length is 1.06 M. For units between positions 45 and 72 on adjacent
frames the finished length is 1.46 M, otherwise the cable length is to be adjusted
accordingly. These cables run directly across the back of the frame without entering
the cable trough." Refer to Figure 266 for the termination points of these cables.
Figure 266 does not reflect cable routing. Follow the cable tags for cable routing as
stated above.

16 Refer to Figure 276 for RCC2 P-Side Port Assignment Options. Backplane Ground
Strip (P0834651) is located at the bottom of slot 11 of each shelf (CPM and EXT) in
the SMA2 and RSCE frames.
17 The drain wires of the DS1 cables are to be wire wrapped to the Backplane Ground
Strip. Each Backplane Ground Strip can accommodate up to 12 termination.
Note: This is a new design and therefore some of the frames may not have the
backplane Ground Strip, in which case it can be ordered. Once received, secure the
backplane Ground Strip using existing screw located at the bottom of slot 11. Wire
wrap the connections to the fingers. This will eliminate installations of lugs for each
drain wire.

25.7 RCC2 Shelf DS30A Link Backplane Connections
1 DS30A connections are made by different cables depending on the type of PM. The
RCC2 uses links 22 and 23 to load the provisional RMMs. The DS30A ports for other
PMs begin at port 24 for the RCC2. Refer to Figure 277 for the correct DS30A
connections to the RCC2 backplane. Refer to Cabling Specification 1301 and Drawing
D620 for port assignment and terminating information.
2 The DS30A cables connect the LCM or LCME to the RCC2. The message links are
assigned in descending order and are assigned to the same circuit pack on the RCC2.
This is acceptable. Do not reassign the message links. The message links are
redundant by having card slots 13 and 15 hard-wired together by way of copper tracks
on the RCC2 backplane. Refer to the D620 for other port assignments.
3 Form the cables to the "U" channel on the lower part of the RCC2 shelf and secure with
ty-raps.
4 Exercise care when mating the connectors with the pins on the backpanel. Mate the
2 x 4 connector pin #1 to the upper right backplane pin of the port to which it is
assigned (as seen from the rear). Repeat for all provisioned ports.
Example: For the LCME XX Unit 0 Port 0 to RCC2 port #53 connection, align pin #1
on AMP level 5 connector "A" with pin #82D on backplane position 13.
Refer to Figure 277 for a typical DS30A link backplane pin connections.
Warning: If a DCH is located in any slot where a NTMX87 can
be assigned, the DS1 cables must be disconnected from the
backplane.

Figure 277 RCC2 Shelf DS30A Link Backplane Connections
5 Use a four-inch marking ty-rap (P0633713) and a black Venus sharpie pen to identify
the provisioned port connectors with the position number on the backplane and the first
pin to which the connector is to mate.
Example: Pos 15
Pin 09
6 Spare off the non-assigned port connectors by forming and securing them to the cable

1 The switchboard cables are connectorized on the line drawer end. There are two
switchboard cables and one local cable terminating on each line drawer.
2 Each cable is split and is equipped with two connectors (A and B) on the end
terminating on the line drawer. Care must be exercised when running and connecting
the cables so as not to damage the wires, connectors, and pins.
3 Switchboard cables (NT0X26CE) are sent to the field in boxes of five cables.
Run each bundle of five cables down verticals of the LCE bay with line subgroups 00,
01, 02, 03, 10, 11, 12, and 13 down the right upright (rear view) and line subgroups 04,
05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 down the left upright.
Therefore, there are six line subgroup cables which are run down the left, rear frame
upright and four-line subgroup cables which are run down the right, rear-frame upright
for each LCM shelf.

the LCMs begin at port # 2. Table RCCPSINV should be data-filled as DS-30a for
ports 0 and 1.
6 The connectors on each cable are designated A, B, and C. The connectors are also
designated as pin location #1, #4 and #5, #8. Care must be exercised when mating the
connectors on the cable with the pins on the backpanel. (Refer to Figure 303 for DS1
backplane pin connections.)
Example: PIN #1 on connector A mates with pin #15 on backpanel position #7 port #0.

29.0 C42 Cabinet Power Cabling
29.1 C42 Cabinet Power Cabling Guidelines
1 This section covers the running, forming, and securing of power cables within the C42
cabinets. These procedures are guidelines and the cable routing as defined on the cable
tags (if supplied) is to be followed.
2 The C42 cabinets have the versatility to use either vertical or horizontal cable routing
for the power feeds from the power source. Vertical routing is used when the lineup
will not allow the routing of power cables within the faraday cage from a filtered PDC
to the cabinet. An example of this is when a C42 cabinet is installed within a lineup of
DMS-100 7 ft. frames.
3 Horizontal cabling is to be used when the lineup will allow the routing of power cables
from a filtered CPDC to the cabinet within a faraday cage. An example of this is when
the C42 cabinet is installed within a cabinetized lineup using a cabinetized PDC
(CPDC).
4 The following are C42 cabinets:

Enhanced Multipurpose Cabinet (EMC)NTEX01AB
DMS-100 Mail Service Peripheral(SPM) NTGX01AA
5 The ENET cabinet requires the installation of a CCTS (C21) cabinet. The CCTS PEC
code is as follows:

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
6 Power cabling is installed using individual cable runs or bundled power cables. If
bundled cables have been specd, each fully configured C42 cabinet will require eight
(8) bundles of cables. Four (4) bundles are for drop side S0, four (4) bundles are for
drop side S6, and one (1) bundle is for cooling unit power cables.
7 Bundled power cables for the C42 are to be installed on a shelf by shelf basis. Forming
of the cables in the bulkhead is to be consistent with the forming of individual cables.
8 Refer to Figure 316 and Figure 317 for the bundled cable codes for the C42 cabinets.
9 The bundled cable end(s) equipped with lugs terminate at the C42 cabinet, the
unlugged cable end(s) terminate at the PDC/CPDC. The PDC/CPDC end will require
termination.
PDC. The slack is to be formed in the direction of the PDC/CPDC.
29.2 C42 Cabinet Vertical Power Cabling
1 Vertical powering to the C42 cabinet consists of running power cables from the PDC
and into the left-hand and right-hand bulkheads. Power cables are run into the
bulkheads from the top by way of the cable trough and cable rack or from the bottom
by way of the raised floor.
2 Bundled power cables are to be routed as indicated on the cable tags. Route, secure
and form the cables in the same manner as individual leads. Bundled power cables are
to be terminated in the C42 cabinet first. Slack cable is to be worked back towards the
PDC/CPDC. Terminate the PDC/CPDC after the correct length is determined and the
C42 connections have been made. Bundled power cables are to be routed through the
opening of the cable troughs. Bottom fed cabinets with bundled power cable is to be
routed, formed, and secured in the same manner as individual leads entering the bottom
of the C42 cabinet.

3 The C42 cable trough has openings in shield 4 for routing power and ground cables to
bulkhead termination points. The openings in the shield are to be used for routing
power and ground cables out of the cable shield and down into the bulkheads. The
openings are located above the bulkheads and provide direct access to the bulkhead
from the cable shield.
4 Power cable (Battery and Return) is run to each individual shelf. The FSP is powered
on the Right-Hand Side (RHS), the cooling unit is powered on the Left-Hand Side
(LHS) and the remaining shelves are powered on both the LHS and RHS.
5 Filter capacitors are provided for battery and battery return for left and right shelf
halves, ABS signals, cooling unit battery, and battery return.
6 Each capacitor is designated. The remaining capacitors are designated C3 through
C24. Capacitors C3 through C14 are located in the left-rear bulkhead. Capacitors C15
through C24 are located in the right-rear bulkhead.
7 ABS and power cable (Battery and Return) must be identified at power source and C42
end. Use the peel-off label from the P0866901 cable tag and a P0884202 flag cable tie
at both ends of the cable for cable identification. Refer to event 07 (method 03-9057)
for details.

10 The power cables are to be formed to the inside of the bulkhead (side of bulkhead
closest to the center of the cabinet). Refer to Event 6 (03-9056) for routing of logic
and ground cables.
11 Route battery and return cables down the inside of the bulkhead and terminate. Shelf
00 is to be formed first. Form shelf 13, 26, and 39 in this order. Secure the cables with
ty-raps to the cable brackets. Power cables are to be formed on top of the brackets
towards the rear of the cabinet. Form the power cables to allow forming system cables
towards the outside of the cabinet (closest to the sides of the cabinet).
12 Figure 323 is an example of the battery and battery-return cables at shelf 39 capacitors
C3 and C4. The logic ground cable at shelf 52 capacitor C1 is shown for reference.
Additional cables are not shown for clarity.
13 Figure 323 is only an example. Figure 323 is a partial view of the left rear. The power
safety boot was not shown in Figure 323 for clarity. The power safety boot is required
on all power and ground terminations within the C42 bulkhead except for the Logic
Ground capacitor. The power cables are to be routed in the same manner for the right
rear.
Figure 323 C42 Vertical Cabling
14 Each individual power cable requires a safety boot to be installed. Slip the safety boot
over the cable prior to crimping the lug. After the connection has been made, slide the
safety boot over the connection.
15 Safety boots are required on bundled power cables. The safety boots are to be placed

the cabinet. Typically the C42 cabinet will be powered from a CPDC located at the
end of the lineup.
2 Route the power cables into the bottom of the cabinet from the CPDC.
3 Power cables will terminate on terminal blocks located below shelf 00.
4 Refer to terminal block designation strips and cable tags for the termination points. All
connections made in the field are made to the bottom of the terminal blocks. Use the
peel-off label from the P0866901 cable tag and a P0884202 flag cable tie at both ends
of the cable for cable identification. Refer to event 07 (method 03-9057) for details.

29.4 C42 Cabinet ABS and Alarm Cabling
1 The ABS terminations are located on TB2 and TB3 in the bottom of the cabinet for
horizontal cabling. ABS cables consist of ABS -48 and ABS RTN cables.
2 These cables are to be connected to the preceding and succeeding cabinets. The
preceding cabinet will always be the cabinet closest to the CPDC. Figure 326, Figure
327, and Figure 328 reflect the ABS termination points.
3 Do not double the ABS terminations on one termination point. Place the succeeding
cable on the pin 11 and the preceding cable on pin 12.
4 Vertical cabling of the ABS is to be made at capacitors C23 and C24. The cables must
be doubled at each capacitor. Do not place a washer between the two lugs. Place the
lugs back to back on each capacitor stud.
5 The ABS cables loop back to the CPDC in the Model B system (utilizes a non-filtered
CPDC).
6 ABS cables and their multiples in equipment lineups must be identified at both ends.
details.
7 The Aisle Alarms are connected to the C42 cabinets by way of connectorized cables.
The C01 and C02 connector are located at the top of the right-hand bulkhead.
8 AISALM1 and AISALM2 are to be connected to the C01 located at the top in the right-
hand bulkhead. AISAL1 and AISAL2 are to be connected to the C02 located at the top
in right-hand bulkhead.
9 Connect AISALM1 and AISALM2 as reflected in Figure 329.

30.0 System Cabling for C42 Cabinets
30.1 C42 System Cabling
1 System cables include all switchboard cables terminating to the cabinet bulkhead and
fiber cables terminating at the backplane.
2 Figure 330 reflects routing of system cables into the C42 cabinet.
Figure 330 System Cabling to a C42 Cabinet
Note: Form system cables on the side of the bulkhead away from the personality
plates. Fiber and switchboard cables are to be formed into separate bundles.
3 Figure 330 only reflects the left rear of the bulkhead of a typical C42 cabinet.
4 System cables are to be formed on the side of the bulkhead away from the personality
plates. Therefore, system cables will be on the far left for the left, rear bulkhead and
on the far right for the right, rear bulkhead.
Use lacing cord to secure cables to the top cable arm in the C42 equipment frames.
Securing cables together with ty-raps between cable brackets is not required. All
cables are to be secured on top (towards the rear) of the cable brackets. Do not route
any cables behind the cable brackets.

5 Connect the system cables to the personality plates as indicated by the cable tags.
Personality plates will differ from C42 cabinet to C42 cabinet. All of the personality
plates are stenciled with the connector number. The numbers are in alphabetical order
and correspond to the cable tags.
6 Connect the system cable based on the shelf position of the cabinet and the connector
number.
7 Cable connections between the personality plates and the backplane are made by the
factory. Fiber cables are connected directly to the paddleboards and, therefore, must
be connected by a field technician.
8 Fiber and switchboard cables are to be formed into separate bundles.
9 The individual fiber cable leads are not to be secured. Butts of the cable are to remain
staged six inches from the cable trough.
10 Terminate the copper cables to the NT9X65xx bulkhead assemblies. Reference the
cable tags for the correct termination point.
30.2 Fiber Optic Cables
1 Care must be taken when running fiber cables. The two basic types of fiber cables used
in the ENET system will be Quad and Duplex. Quad cable consists of four fiber cables
inside of a protective sheath. Duplex cable consists of two fiber cables inside of a
protective sheath. Several "Rules" of care must be taken when running/routing fiber
cables.
Always exercise care when running and handling fiber cables. Never handle the fiber
cables by the ends.
When running cables near "live" equipment, Ensure that both ends of the cables are
protected within protective sheaths.
Avoid sharp bends. The minimum bend radii for the different cables during
installation (under tensile load) and for long durations (once formed) are as follows:
Cable Installation Long Term
Single Strand 5.0 cm 3.0 cm
Duplex 14.0 cm 7.0 cm
Quad 16.0 cm 8.5 cm
Note: Refer to Event 7, 03-9057 for additional information on fiber cables. Clean fiber
cables as stated in Event 7.
2 Care must be taken when forming the fiber cables. Do not pull on the connector end
while forming.
Pull fiber cable from the breakout point. Do not pull each individual fiber cable.
Protect fiber cable from sharp edges. Use Guard Extrusion (P0663893) or suitable
material to cover sharp edges.
3 Disconnected fiber connectors and receptacles should be covered with a protective cap
when not in use.

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
4 Only remove the protective caps when the cable is being terminated. To prevent
circuit pack damage, the following general guidelines should be adhered to:
Remove the fiber receptacle dust cap from the paddleboard, with gentle finger
pressure. Do not use pliers or any other tool which applies direct pressure to the
barrel. Excessive force on the dust cap will break the plastic receptacle barrel.
Lightly insert the fiber cable ferrule into the barrel of the paddleboard until the
connector pin is pressing against the barrel.
While applying light pressure, rotate the connector until the pin and the slot are
aligned and insertion of the cable is complete.
When the cable is completely inserted, twist the connector clockwise until mating is
complete.
5 If removal of the fiber cable is required, push the connector in and twist it gently
counter-clockwise until the pin and slot are aligned. Gently pull the connector away
from the paddleboard.
6 Do not secure the individual fiber leads together at the bulkhead assemblies.
7 The following process is to be followed for forming the fiber cables through the
personality plates unless specific instructions are provided in individual C42 cabinet
subsections.
8 The top part of the bulkhead assembly has 13 port openings for fiber cables to pass
through.
9 Each opening can accommodate up to 8 individual fiber cables. When forming the
fiber cables through the openings, do not split quad or duplex fiber cables between
openings.
10 Begin forming the fiber cables through the bulkhead assembly from the top down,
starting with the opening closest to the backplane. If all of the fiber holes are not used,
the holes closest to the rear of the cabinet are to be left empty.
11 After the fiber cables have passed through the cabinet bulkheads, form the cables
towards the rear of the cabinet, and into the cable tray located at the bottom of the shelf.
terminate the fiber cables to their terminations per cable tags.
12 Figure 331 reflects the top part of a bulkhead assembly. Individual cabinets will have
different personality plates but the top part of the bulkhead will be the same and the
routing process through the personality plate is the same.

June 28, 2002 Method 03-9059
Figure 331 Forming Fiber Cables To Paddleboard
13 Slack in the fiber cables is not to be stored in the channel under the cable guides. Fiber
cable slack is to be stored in the CCTS cabinet when required. Do not loop the fiber
strands back and forth and form them under the cable guides. Looping the strands back
and forth and storing them under the cable guides may cause damage to the fiber
strands.
14 When forming fiber cables to the paddleboards, do not pull the cables tight. Do not
use ty-raps on the individual fiber cables. Form the fiber cables in a manner to allow
the power switches to be operated. Refer to Figure 332 for the minimum bend radii of
fiber cables.

30.3 ENET and CCTS Cabinet Cabling
1 CCTS Cabling Cabinet will be installed on both sides of an ENET cabinet. The CCTS
cabinet is used to support and provide adequate room for system and fiber cables
terminating in the ENET cabinets.
2 Remove the C42 outer panel (P0729753) when a ENET cabinet is next to a CCTS
cabinet in order to allow cables to be run directly from the CCTS to the ENET
bulkhead or backplane connections.
3 The outer panel is secured in place using four screws and washers. Discard the outer
panel and mounting hardware in a safe manner.
4 Install a L-shaped vertical gasket contact strip P0732220 on the front of the C42
cabinets which are adjacent to the CCTS cabinets. Refer to Event 04 (Method 03-
9054), "Level, Align, and Secure Equipment," for junctioning information.
5 Each ENET shelf is connected to each MS by way of a Duplex DS512 Fiber Link.
These links are connected at the ENET shelf on the message/clock paddleboard
(9X40BA/9X45BA, slot 8). The links are connected at the MS end at the appropriate
9X20BB paddleboard. Note that the MS does not have to be busied or powered down
to connect the fiber links.
6 Route only Fiber cables in the CCTS cabinet. Copper cables are to enter the cabinet
by way of the bulkheads of the ENET cabinet. Copper cables are not to enter the C21
cabinet.
7 The CCTS Cabling Cabinet NT0X35CC may be installed with or without a cable
trough. Cable Trough NTRX55BG (Gray) or NTRX55BH (Brown) are available for
the NTRX31CC cabinets.
8 The CCTS cable trough has an opening in the fiber shield for the forming of the fiber
cables into the C21 cabinet. The forming brackets maintain the bend radius of the fiber
cables.
9 Typically when the CCTS cable trough is not used, fiber duct will be installed. Refer
to Event 05 (Method 03-9055), "Cable Troughs," for fiber cable duct assembly.
10 Fiber and copper cables are to be formed separately.
11 Fiber cables are connected directly to the paddleboards.
12 The fiber cable butt is to be secured in the ENET bulkhead as close to the oblong holes
as possible.
13 All fiber cables should be coiled neatly and secured to the CCTS cable brackets,
utilizing fiber sheet fiber and lacing cord. Any fiber cable slack is to be secured in the
CCTS cabling cabinet. Cable slack is not mandatory for installation.
14 Copper cables are to be secured in place using ty-raps.
15 Cables for each ENET shelf are be formed into a single bundle in the CCTS cabinet.
16 Viewed from the rear of the lineup, the CCTS cabinet on the left will contain cables
for the ENET cabinet to the right. The CCTS cabinet in the middle of the two ENET
cabinets will contain cables for both cabinets. The CCTS cabinet to the right will
contain cables for the ENET cabinet to the left.
17 Figure 334 reflects cabling in the CCTS cabinet located between the two ENET
cabinets. This figure does not reflect any copper cables. The copper cables are not
shown for clarity. The Fiber Cable trough is shown for reference only.

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
Figure 334 CCTS Cabinet with Fiber Cables
18 Copper cables will enter directly into the ENET cabinet bulkhead. Use the CCTS
cabling cabinet only for the fiber cables.
19 If fiber cable duct is installed, ensure that the flexible convoluted tubing extends below
the top of the cable trough.
20 For bottom entry cabling, the cables for each shelf are to be reversed from top entry.
The bundle of cables for shelf 00 will be closest to the ENET cabinet. The bundle of
cables for shelf 39 will be the farthest away from the ENET cabinet. All other cabling
activity will follow the top entry method.

1 Fiber and switchboard cables are to be secured in the cabinet bulkhead in separate
bundles.
2 Form the cables (fiber and copper) inside the cabinet in bundles for each shelf. The
slack must be placed in the cable troughs throughout the office. The fiber butt
locations will be staggered in the ENET cable trough for top-fed offices. The butt
locations are not to be closer than 6 inches of either end of the cable trough.
Place Guard Extrusion (P0663893) on the edge of the cable trough where the cables
bend into the top of the cabinet. Care must be taken to ensure that the minimum bend
radius is maintained. All fiber leads in the bulkhead of the cabinet must be protected
when secured. Protective material (Protective Tubing P0401296, sheet fiber, etc.)
must be wrapped around the area where the cable is secured.
3 DS30 cables are to be formed to the bottom of the shelf. Make a small loop in the cable
and form up to the connector on the bulkhead. Refer to Figure 336 for cabling layout
in the ENET cabinet bulkhead for top feed cabinets.

Figure 336 Cable Layout Without CCTS
4 Figure 336 is intended only to reflect the different bundles of cables in the C42
bulkhead. Actual cables and quantity of cables will vary site to site. The cables are to
be secured to the cable brackets in the bulkhead. The system cables and power cables
are to be secured using ty-raps. The fiber cables are to be secured utilizing protective
material and lacing cord.
5 This paragraph for bottom feed cabinets only. Form the cables in reverse order for
bottom feed cabinets. The butt locations of the fiber cables will be in the cabinet
bulkhead. The butt of the fiber cables is to be laced on the top traverse arm of the
associated shelf where the cables are to terminate. The butt location is approximately
as shown in Figure 337. Only the left-hand rear bulkhead is shown in Figure 337.
Cables in the right rear bulkhead are to be formed like the left bulkhead. Ensure that
the fiber cable is protected at the securing location. The unsheathed fiber cables will
loop down to the oblong holes in the bulkhead and then through the holes to their
respective termination points.

6 Protective tubing (P0401296) is to be installed and secured to the raised floor supports
at all locations where unsheathed fiber cables pass or may come in contact with the
raised floor supports.
Loosely secure the fiber and switchboard cables to the raised floor support(s) using
lacing cord, near the entry points of the ENET cabinet. Refer to Figure 337 for an
example.
7 Fiber cables and switchboard (DS30) cables are to be run together for under-floor
cabling sites. Loosely secure the cables together every three feet along the route while
the cables are under the floor. The cables are to be secured at the cable tie locations
within the ENET cabinet using sheet fiber and lacing cord. This is to ensure that the
cables remain together and aid in locating cables at a later time.
8 The fiber cables without protective sheathing between the cable trough and the top of
the ENET cabinet are to be secured using sheet fiber and lacing cord, into bundles for
each shelf configured. Protective material (Protective Tubing (P0401296) or Guard
Extrusion (P0663893)) must be wrapped around the area where the cable is to be
secured.
9 Refer to Subsection 30.3 for cabling at the ENET cabinet bulkhead assemblies and to

31.0 Model B C28 Cabinet Power Cabling
31.1 Guidelines for Model B - Power Cabling
Note: The power and battery return identifiers are referred to as L- and L+. This
identifier can be substituted as follows:
L- is -48V or -60V
L-A is -48VA or -60V
L-B is -48VB or -60V
L+ is RTN
L+A is BATRTNA
L+B is BATRTNB
1 The Model B C28 cabinets have been designed to allow a single CPDC to provide
power to multiple lineups. This is different from the Model A C28 cabinets. The
Model B C28 cabinets can still be powered by way of horizontal cabling. Routing and
forming cables, when horizontal powering is required, will remain the same as Model
A C28 cabinets. Forming of the power cables in the CPDC will be the same for
Vertical or Horizontal cabling.
2 The Model B CPDC has been designed to allow multiple lineup powering. Each of the
remaining Model B C28 cabinets requiring power have been designed with a power
filter kit mounted in the top of the cabinet. The L-A, L-B, ABS, and Alarm
connections will be made in this area.
31.2 Model B - CPDC
1 The Model B CPDC is referred to as a centralized CPDC or Model B CPDC.
Throughout this section, the cabinet will be referenced as a Model B CPDC.
2 There is no bulkhead in the Model B CPDC cabinet. The main power feeds and return
cables will enter the cabinet through the top or bottom. Terminations will be made to
a series of bus bars located on the left rear of the cabinet. There are multiple
terminations on each bus bar to allow top or bottom feed cabling. Use the top
termination points for top feed cables and the bottom termination points for bottom
feed cabling.
3 Refer to Figure 352 for location of main bus bars. Each bus bar is designated in the
cabinet. Figure 352 does not reflect all of the parts in the CPDC cabinet. Showing all
of the parts is not practical. Refer to the Assembly Drawing (ADRX31CA) for
additional details.

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
Figure 352 Bus Bar Arrangement in CPDC
4 The Model B CPDC can be provisioned with one to four Circuit Breaker Shelf
Assemblies. The breaker panel within the assembly can be one of two types,
NTRX02CA or NTRX02CD, which contains different breaker combinations.
5 Each of the breaker panels comes with 40 breakers. Half of the breakers (twenty) are
connected to the A feed and half to the B feed. The breaker panel at position 49 (Top)
is assigned as follows:
Breaker Designation
CB FA Reserved for Filter Capacitors A
CB FB Reserved for Filter Capacitors B
CB01A Reserved for EAS Alarm A (Optional)
CB01B Reserved for EAS Alarm B (Optional)
CB02A Reserved for ABS Power Option (Optional)
CB02B Reserved for LaMarche Inverter (Optional)
6 CB03 A&B through CB19 A&B are available to assign power products. There are a
total of 17A and 17B breakers available on the breaker panel at shelf 49.

CB FB Reserved for Filter Capacitors B
8 CB01 A&B through CB19 A&B are available to assign power products. There are
nineteen A&B breakers available on these shelves.
9 Each of the Circuit Breaker Shelf Assemblies includes a ground plate and capacitors.
10 An option of the Model B CPDC is the "Single Feed Option." This option is defined
as having a single A&B power feed from the power room to the CPDC and then
distributing the power to each cabinet. The maximum capacity for the CPDC is 400A
per feed. The A and B feed to the CPDC unit must be protected with 170V dc, 600AMP
maximum fuses (Bussman Type TPL or TPN or equivalent) or equivalent circuit
breakers at the supply source.
11 With the "Single Feed Option," one pair of circuit breakers are required for the
capacitors and a single circuit breaker is required on the first panel to provide alarm
sensing for the EAS option. Therefore, only eighteen A&B circuit breakers are
available to assign power products.
12 Alarm connections (C01, C02, and C03) are provided on the back of the MSP by way
of 20-pin connectors.
31.3 Model B - CPDC Main Feeds
1 Secure the main feeds at the top or bottom of the cabinet. Viewed from the rear, secure
these cables as far to the left as practical. Requirements vary from customer to
customer and, therefore, secure the cables in the manner required per your customer.
Ty-rapping is the standard method of securing cables. Lacing cord may be required to
secure the cables to the first entry point of the cabinet. Verify with the customer prior
to securing the cables as to the preferred method.
2 It is recommended to form and secure the L-A cable(s) first, then the L+ cable(s), then
the L-B cable(s) last.
3 The hardware for securing the cables is provided with the cabinet. Refer to Figure 353
for the different hardware stackup. The large terminations are terminated to the clinch
nut. The small hardware is terminated using a bolt and nut arrangement.
4 After making the terminations, cover each of the lugs with an appropriate cover.
Covers are provided with each CPDC. The covers (P0739906) must be modified on
site to fit around the cables. Only remove the cutouts on the end of the cover that the
cables exists. Secure the covers in place using lacing cord. Covers are not required on
the return cables.

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
Figure 353 CPDC Model B Hardware Stackup
Note: When double lugging is required, use P0661499 Cap Screw in place of
P0678300 Cap Screw and P0170283 K-Bolt in place of P0160382 K-Bolt.
31.4 Model B - CPDC Secondary Feeds
1 The secondary power and ground cables are to be formed into the CPDC on the right
side viewed from the rear.
2 Shelf Cable Brackets are installed along the right rear of the cabinet; through these,
form the secondary power and ground cables.
3 It is recommended to form one breaker panel at a time; form from the top down and
front to rear. The cables terminating at the top Circuit Breaker Shelf Assembly should
be closest to the front of the cabinet.
4 The cables for the top shelf are to be bundled together along the right side of the
cabinet. Divide the cables into bundles and place into the cable brackets. Remember
to leave the section closest to the rear open to allow for expansion, if the cabinet is not
fully provisioned.
5 After the cables have passed through the top shelf cable bracket, bundle the cables
going to the breakers and return plates separately. Therefore, each Circuit Breaker
Shelf Assembly will have four separate bundles.
6 Route the cables as shown in Figure 354 and Figure 355 (note these figures are for
Vertical power cabling). Cable tie brackets are provided along the right side of the
cabinet. Secure the cables to these brackets. Ty-raps are acceptable unless specific
customer requirements will not permit them. The intent of Figure 354 and Figure 355
is not to reflect the ty-rap locations within the cabinet. Ty-raps are to be spaced evenly
apart.

7 The power and ground cables terminating to the breakers and battery return plates are
to be approximately six to seven inches in length. This length is from the breakout of
the main form to the termination point. Battery return cables and power cables are to
terminate on corresponding positions.
Example: Breaker 00 to Return Plate position 00, Breaker 05 to Return Plate position
05, etc.
8 Figure 354 reflects two main bundles along the upright of the cabinet. Shelves 08 and

1 The Model B C28 cabinets can be powered horizontally or vertically. Horizontal
power is when the cabling is routed through the base of the cabinets. This is the
method employed when Model B cabinets are installed in an existing Model A lineup.
Form cables through the base in the same manner as done for Model A.
2 This subsection will cover the vertical cabling and connections for the Model B C28
cabinets.
3 The Model B C28 cabinets are vertically powered through a Power Filter Kit located
at the top rear of the cabinet. There are several different Power Filter Kits for the
Model B C28 cabinets.
4 Each kit includes the A and B feed terminal blocks, ABS, and Alarm connections for
the cabinet. Connections to the terminal blocks will be made using two hole lugs.
Alarm connections are made using connectorized cables. Alarm and ABS connections
will be discussed in Subsection 31.6.
5 The field terminations are to be made to the top of the power filter kits. The
connections from the bottom of the filter kits to the MSP are made in the factory.
6 All of the power cables are to be routed through the power shields of the cable troughs.
Each cable trough is designed with an opening in the power shield. Route the power
cables through the opening and form directly to the terminations.
7 If pre-lugged power cables have been specd, there will be one (1) run of cable for each
-48 Vdc feed and one (1) run of cable for each Battery Return. Refer to Figure 358
8 The lugged end of pre-lugged cables must be terminated first but can be terminated at
either the Originating or Terminating cabinet as indicated on the cable tag. After
terminating the pre-lugged end, form the cable back to the un-lugged end. Once
formed, this end may be cut to length, lugged and terminated as per the cable tag.

details.
Pre-lugged cables will have the cable tags already applied to either end of the cable.
10 Care must be taken when making terminations to the power filters. The threads in the
nut must be fully engaged onto the threads of the stud before any significant torque is
applied to tighten the nuts. Each nut should be hand started to avoid stripping of the
studs.
11 Each of the power connections is to be torqued to 20 in-lbs.
12 Do not over tighten the nuts. If a stud is stripped, the entire terminal block must be
replaced.
13 The power safety boots and lug part numbers for terminations at the cabinet level are
as follows:

11 The AISLAM cables will be multiplied between cabinets. Typically, there will be
cables entering and existing the cabinet. These cables are referenced as To Succeeding
and To Preceding cabinets.
12 Example of a typical lineup is reflected in Figure 375. Note that these are only
examples and your site may be different.
Figure 375 Typical Lineup with AISLAM Cables
13 Some of the cables have double 25-pin connectors. When a double connector is used,
place the double connector on the cabinet first. The single end of the next cable is to
be secured to the top of the double connector. Both cables are secured in place using
screws.
14 When a cable with a double connector is installed on the last cabinet in the lineup,
install Connector Cover (A0377672) on the top of the connector. When adding
cabinets to an existing lineup, remove the connector cover and connect the adjacent
cabinet cable to the double connector. Place the connector cover on the new cabinet
cable. This will eliminate the need to remove alarm cables when doing an extension.

31.7 Alarm and ABS Cabling for Model B to Existing Model A
The following only applies to Model B cabinets being installed within an existing
Model A cabinet lineup. Both cabinets must use the Horizontal Powering option. The
following changes only apply to the Model B cabinet installed adjacent to the Model
A cabinet. Changes are not required if additional Model B cabinets are installed within
the lineup. If four Model B cabinets are being installed at the end of an existing Model
A lineup, the only Model B cabinet requiring this change is the Model B cabinet
installed adjacent to the "end" Model A cabinet.
1 Aisle Alarm and ABS cabling will be routed internally for Model B cabinet extensions
within an existing Model A lineup.
2 Model B cabinets being installed within an existing Model A lineup will have
Horizontal cabling option. All of the secondary power, Aisle Alarm, and ABS cables
will be routed from the MSP to the bottom of the cabinet and coiled.
3 The Model B cabinet being installed adjacent to an existing Model A cabinet will
require some minor modifications. Uncoil the cables located in the bottom of this
Model B cabinet, and locate the Alarm and ABS cables. These cables must be
removed and replaced with different cables. The cables must be replaced because the
connectors on the ends of the cables are not compatible with the Model A FSP.
4 The replacement cables are:
NTRX1688 cable for Aisle Alarm
NTRX1684 cable for ABS.
5 Remove the Aisle Alarm Cable from the Model B cabinet and replace it with the
NTRX1688 cable.
6 Remove the ABS cable from the Model B cabinet and replace it with the NTRX1684
cable.
7 The replacement cables are to be formed and secured into the cable form the "old"
cables were removed from.
8 Refer to CARX04, Tables 3U and 3V, for additional information on the Alarm and
ABS cables between an existing Model A cabinet and a Model B cabinet.
9 Ensure that ABS cables are identified at both ends.Use the peel-off label from the
P0866901 cable tag and a P0884202 flag cable tie at both ends of the cable for cable
identification of non connectorized cable ends. Cables supplied by the cable
manufacturer already connectorized will have permanent labels applied by the
manufacturer at the connectorized end. Refer to event 07 (method 03-9057) for details.
31.8 Model B - Miscellaneous Equipment Cabinet
1 The Model B Miscellaneous Equipment Cabinet (CMIS) can be configured as an EMC
compliant (Closed) cabinet which houses Nortel supported equipment or as a Non-
EMC (Open) cabinet which primarily houses Customer preferred equipment.
2 A Closed CMIS cabinet will house equipment which by itself is not EMC compliant.
This cabinet will require bulkhead connector plates and cable filtering or shielding.
3 An Open CMIS cabinet will house customer preferred (Non-Nortel Supported)
equipment. This cabinet will not require enclosure of input/output signals at the
cabinet level.

8 When the "Open" CMIS is used, route the cables through the bulkhead in a manner that
will prevent cable damage against the bulkhead openings.
9 Individual methods will be developed detailing the installation of the CMIS optional
equipment. Method references will be added to this subsection as they are completed.
31.9 Raised Floor Cabling
1 Power cables in a raised floor installation may enter the cabinet bulkhead through the
bottom side of the cabinet.
2 Bottom fed power cables are to be routed up the left-hand side of the bulkhead viewed
from the rear. The power cables are then to be routed to the right and formed to the
power filter strips on the top of the cabinet.
3 Cable troughs are not typically installed when cabinets are mounted on a raised floor.
A cover (P0741641) is to be installed on the top of the cabinets once the cabling is
completed. Do not install the cover until all power, grounding, and alarm cabling is
completed.
4 Refer to Figure 376 for installation of cover (P0741641).

32.0 Model B C28 System Cabling
32.1 Guidelines for System Cabling Model B Cabinets
1 The following guidelines are for routing cables within the C28 cabinet lineup. The
examples given are for top feed cabinets. Reverse the forming in the bulkhead for
bottom feed jobs. Bottom feed cabinets normally do not have cable troughs and the
cables are routed under a raised floor. All references made to right and left are made
when viewed from the rear of the C28 cabinet. Any exceptions to this will be
identified.
2 All signal cables will be connected from bulkhead to bulkhead for each cabinet in the
lineup. Cables are to be routed through the cable troughs as indicated by the cable tags.
All connections are to be made at the bulkhead of the cabinets. Exceptions to this will
be noted in the job specifications. Some of the cables connecting to equipment
mounted in the Model B CMIS cabinet will pass through the bulkhead and connect
directly on the equipment.
3 Each C28 cabinet with the exception of the CPDC and CMIS will have four shelves.
Group the cables going to the top two shelves together and form into a single bundle.
The cables going to the top two shelves are to be secured as far to the right of the
bulkhead as practical. Form the cables going to the bottom two shelves as far to the
left as practical. A typical layout of the cables in the bulkhead is shown in Figure 377.
4 Use lacing cord to secure cables to the top cable arm in the C28 equipment frames.
Verify with your customer if lacing cord or ty-raps are acceptable for this location.
5 Do not pull the cables too tight. Leave a small amount of slack in the signal cables
between the termination point on the bulkhead and the last ty-rap support used. The
slack is to be consistent throughout the office.
6 Secure the connectorized cables to the bulkhead by way of the screws in the connector
hood. Use caution when tightening the securing screws in the connector hood.
Tighten each side of the connector until the connector is secured.
7 Typically it is better to run all cables going to a cabinet at the same time. It is
recommended to run the cables closest to the CPDC first.
8 Cable tags will define the origination and termination points for the cables connecting

32.2 Fiber Optic Cable Guidelines
1 Care must be taken when running fiber cables. The two basic types of fiber cables used
will be Quad and Duplex. Quad cable consists of four fiber cables inside of a
protective sheath. Duplex cable consists of two fiber cables inside of a protective
sheath. Several "Rules" of care must be taken when running/routing fiber cables.
Always exercise care when running and handling fiber cables. Never handle the fiber
cables by the ends.
Avoid sharp bends. The minimum bend radii for the different cables during
installation (under tensile load) and for long durations (once formed) are as follows:
Cable Installation Long Term
Single Strand 5.0 cm 3.0 cm
Duplex 14.0 cm 7.0 cm
Quad 16.0 cm 8.5 cm
Note: Refer to Event 07, 03-9057 for additional information on fiber cables.
2 Care must be taken when forming the fiber cables. Do not pull on the connector end
while forming:
Pull fiber cable from the breakout point. Do not pull each individual fiber cable.
Protect fiber cable from sharp edges. Use Guard Extrusion (P0663893) or suitable
material to cover sharp edges.
3 Disconnected fiber connectors and receptacles should be covered with a protective cap
when not in use. Refer to Event 07 (Method 03-9057), "General Cabling and Torque
Requirements," for cleaning fiber cables.
4 Only remove the protective caps when the cable is being terminated.
To prevent circuit pack damage, the following general guidelines should be
adhered to:
Remove the fiber receptacle dust cap from the paddleboard, with gentle finger
pressure. Do not use pliers or any other tool which applies direct pressure to the
barrel. Excessive force on the dust cap will break the plastic receptacle barrel.
Lightly insert the fiber cable ferrule into the barrel of the paddleboard until the
connector pin is pressing against the barrel.
While applying light pressure, rotate the connector until the pin and the slot are
aligned and insertion of the cable is complete.
When the cable is completely inserted, twist the connector clockwise until mating is
complete.
5 If removal of the fiber cable is required, push the connector in and twist it gently
counter-clockwise until the pin and slot are aligned. Gently pull the connector away
from the paddleboard.
6 Do not secure the individual fiber leads together at the bulkhead assemblies.
7 The fiber cables are to be formed through the bulkhead assemblies to their respective
paddleboard.

9 Cabinets may be delivered to site with line drawers already installed. Field personnel
are instructed to check the harnesses are properly formed and ty-rapped.
10 Verify the proper dressing by pulling each line drawer out at the front of the cabinet.
The following items should be checked:
The last line card in the drawer should be accessible when the line drawer is fully
extended at the front of the cabinet.
The ty-raps which secure the cables on both the line drawer and associated spring
must not be loose.
The ty-raps should not interfere with the movement of the drawer or the cabling.
Ensure that the cables are in a tight bundle and that the bottom of the bundle is no less
than approximately 1/4 inch above the flange/kickplate at the rear of the line drawer.
Ensure that the A and B line connectors are assembled using a double hood.

11 If cabinets are delivered to site without line drawers installed or if deficiencies are
found with the dressing, the following steps must be followed.
12 Connect the Upper (Odd A and B) line connectors.
13 Connect the C/D connector (associated cable is the control cable).
14 Connect the Lower (Even A and B) line connectors. The line cable associated with the
lower connectors should be positioned in front of the control (C/D) cable.
Note: If applicable, any shielded cable should be positioned such that it faces to the
rear/outside of the cabinet.
15 Ensure that ty-raps are positioned around the cables as shown in Figure 382. Add ty-
raps if any are missing.
16 Form the cables in a tight bundle at the rear of the drawer. Make a 180-degree turn at
the bottom of the drawer. Ensure that the bottom of the cable bundle is approximately
1/4 inch above the flange at the bottom rear of the line drawer.
17 Place a ty-rap around the cable bundle and secure it to the molded ty-rap base on the
line drawer. Refer to Figure 382.
18 Place a ty-rap around the bundle and the control spring. The location of this ty-rap is
approximately 1.25 inches above the bottom tab of the control spring. This will locate
the ty-rap between the 2 tabs on the control spring.
19 Add ty-rap around the bundle at the mid point in the 180-degree turn at the bottom of
the form.
20 Use side cutters to trim the excess ty-rap flush where the ty-rap locks. Ensure there are
no sharp edges on the ty-rap. Dispose of ty-rap waste in a safe manner.
21 Turn the heads of the ty-raps inward so that they are hidden from view.
must not be loose.
Ensure that the cables are in a tight bundle and that the bottom of the bundle is no less
than approximately 1/4 inch above the flange/kickplate at the rear of the line drawer.
23 The A and B line connectors (odd and even) should have been assembled using a
double hood (2 x 32 hood). If the double hood is not present, a ty-rap must be placed
around the A and B connectors as shown in Figure 383. A small ty-rap should be in
place around the hood of each connector.
Ensure that the ty-rap head is correctly positioned; adjust as required. Place another
ty-rap around the two connectors to hold them in place. Refer to Figure 383 for the
position of these ty-raps. If this ty-rap is not used, the connectors may not remain
securely in place.

22 The following directions are to be followed if the DPP unit is shipped directly to
the site:
Before unpacking the DPP (NT8X48AD), remove the "Unpacking Instruction Sheet"
and "DPP System Packing List" from the top shipping carton. As the DPP is
unpacked from the shipping cartons, check each received item so that any material
shortages can be identified as early as possible. Any critical shortages identified
should be reported, as discovered, to Nortel.
The DPP is drop-shipped to site on a pallet and is enclosed in a heavy cardboard box.
The DPP consists of two chassis that are attached together and bolted to a self-
standing metal shipping frame.
A space located beneath the lower shipping pad contains the hardware, cables, and
miscellaneous parts required for installation. Manuals and documentation are also
located here along with the defect tracking map for each disk (provided and required
for the 140 MB disk only).
When unpacking, ensure that all individual items are removed from boxes, especially
under lower shipping pad.
A third box may be provided, depending on the spare parts ordered with the DPP.

In the event that a return of any units is required, it is suggested that the shipping
boxes be saved until the DPP is installed and is operating properly.
A socket is provided for strap attachment on the DPP chassis as shown in Figure 395.
Figure 395 DPP Chassis Ground Jack Locations
Cover all equipment in the IOE frame below the mounting position of the DPP with
canvas. By providing this protection, the equipment will not be damaged electrically
if anything is dropped.
Position the DPP so that its front covers face the ceiling. The DPP is attached to the
shipping frame with four brackets and eight screws. Remove and discard.
Remove the DPP front covers by first removing any packing tape and then loosening
the four thumb screws.
Attach the DPP mounting brackets, one to each side of the unit, using the screws
provided. The brackets should be mounted so the offset of the brackets brings the
DPP front panel flush with the remainder of the IOE bay.
General Precautions: Use extra care when working with DPP cables to avoid
contact with live equipment. Refer to ISM/IM0 for guidelines.
ESD Precautions: Observe all anti-static handling precautions when installing
and performing maintenance on the DPP. Utilize anti-static wrist grounding
straps, (T9908 (U.S.) or ITA9813 (Can.)), and anti-static heel strap for Canadian
installations (ITA9857).

32.7 Universal Fiber Extended Peripheral Module (UFXPM)
1 The new NT6X02UF UFXPM kit is a functionally enhanced, cost-reduced version of
the previous NT6X02BU Fiber interface kit. It provides the complete functionality of
the NT6X02BU kit; permanent support for the Fiber interfaced paddleboard and Fiber-
optic cables, along with temporary support for the DS-30 cutover card.
In addition, the UFXPM kit has the ability to connect DS-30 Copper links for
interfacing to the existing Junctor Network (JNET) System. With this Universality,
the network interface is always applied to the frames regardless of the job-assigned
application; copper or fiber. The new UFXPM mechanicals will replace the current
provisionable Fiber XPM interface, NT6X02BU, as an always provided item on the
frames/cabinets, thus avoiding costly provisionable Fiber mechanicals upgrades in the
field.
2 The NT6X02UF UFXPM kit contains all of the necessary parts to support the Network
interface cables, whether they are DS-512 Fiber optic cables or Copper DS-30 cables.
Each kit contains the required mechanicals for one double-shelf XPM module. Refer
to Figure 400.

1 The physical layout of Model "B" CISM cabinet is shown in Figure 412. The function
of this cabinet is just as same, enhanced, as that of CTME which this cabinet will
replace in the future.
2 The cabinet usually comes equipped with four ISM shelves. The only different
configuration is when the NT3X89CA AXU alarm cross-connect unit is mounted in
position 47. This will occur only on one cabinet per initial office.
3 The cabinet shown in Figure 412 is equipped with three ISM shelves and all circuit
packs on these shelves are provisionable, as required and ordered by the customer.
4 The ISM shelf directly below the AXU will be equipped with standard alarm circuit
packs. All internal wiring and cabling within the cabinet is connected in the shop.
Only the input and output cabling is connected to the cabinet bulkhead.
5 Figure 413 shows the layout of the cabinet bulkhead. It is recommended that
connecting cables to the bulkheads is done starting with the lowest inside connector
and working towards the outside. A brief explanation of cable connectivity is provided
in the following paragraphs.
6 The top two personality plates are dedicated to the alarm circuits. Similarly to the 7 ft.
frame version of alarm system cabling there are some connectors on the bulkhead that
have the same designations as on the AXU.
7 The top personality plate, refer to Figure 413, contains the connectors for the aisle
alarm multiple cables NTRX26AF, to all first cabinets in each lineup. These are all
25-pin connectors and up to 20 lineups may be connected to the alarm system.
8 Next personality plate down serves also as an alarm cabling interface. The following
cables connect to this plate:
a. NTRX26BB connector(s) C00 & C01 to CIOE cabinet for portable terminal ports
b. NTRX26BG connector(s) T01-T04 to extra audible panels (up to two)
c. NTRX26BH connector(s) T05 to audible and visual alarm extension control circuit

33.0 CRSC, CEXT, and CRME Power and Ground Cabling
33.1 Overview of Sonet RSC
1 The RSC-S can be deployed in any one of the following configurations. This section
covers power and alarm cabling procedures for each of the four configurations.
Multicabinet - The RSC-S typically consists of the following type of cabinets:
CRSC, CEXT, CLCE/CLMI, and CPDC.
Single cabinet or stand-alone - The RSC-S consists of only the CRSC cabinet
(cabinet is not mixed with any other frames or cabinets).
Mixed cabinets with 7 ft. frame - The RSC-S consists of one or more cabinets
interfacing with 7 ft. PDC/RME and/or 7 ft. LCE frames. The cabinets are
vertically powered in this situation.
Mixed Model A with Model B - The Model B RSC-S can be added to a Model A
lineup of office.
2 The cabling length between any CEXT and its associated CRSC is 50 ft. (15 meters).
CEXT and CRSC must be powered from the same CPDC. Cabling length between any
CLCE and its associated CRSC must not exceed 50 ft. (15 meters). All associated
CLCE cabinets must be powered from the same CPDC.
33.2 Model B - External Power Filter Connections: Power - Multicabinet/7
ft. Frame Configuration
Note: This subsection needs to be read prior to adding any cables to the external power
filter located on top of the cabinet under the cable trough. This applies to every Model
B cabinet with the exception of the CPDC.

1 Run the power cables as specified in the 4851 spec or 1400 spec.
2 The field terminations are to made to the top of the power filter kits. The connections
from the bottom of the filter to the MSP are made in the factory. Refer to Figure 416.
3 All of the power cables are to be routed through the power shields of the cable troughs.
Each cable trough is designed with an opening in the power shield. Route the power
cables through the opening and form directly down to the terminations. Refer to Figure
417.
4 If pre-lugged power cables have been specd, there will be one (1) run of cable for each
-48 Vdc feed and one (1) run of cable for each Battery Return.
5 The lugged end of pre-lugged cables must be terminated first but can be terminated at
either the Originating or Terminating cabinet as indicated on the cable tag. After
terminating the pre-lugged end, form the cable back to the un-lugged end. Once
formed, this end may be cut to length, lugged and terminated as per the cable tag.

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
6 Power and battery return cables are to be identified at the CPDC end (breakers or
battery return plate) and at the C28 cabinet end (power filter).

If pre-lugged power cables have been specd, there will be one (1) run of cable for each
-48 Vdc feed and one (1) run of cable for each Battery Return. One end of the each
cable will be pre-lugged and two (2) lugs will be shipped loose with each cable for
termination of the un-lugged end.
The power filter boot (P0741700) is shipped loose with each cabinet and is to be used
for each of the previously listed cables. This boot is to be added to the cable prior to
any crimping.
10 Care must be taken when making terminations to the power terminations on the Power
Filter Kit Assembly. The threads in the nut must be fully engaged onto the threads of
the stud before any significant torque is applied to tighten the nuts. Each nut should
be hand started to avoid stripping. Refer to Figure 418.
11 Each of the power connections are to be torqued to 20 in-lbs.
12 Do not over tighten the nuts. If a stud is stripped, the entire terminal block must be
replaced.
13 Once the lug as been secured into place, the power safety boot will slide over the
connection. Refer to Figure 418. Lugs in Figure 418 are slotted and have a spacing

1 The AISLAM and ABS terminations are made at the top rear of the cabinets. Refer to
Figure 419 for the location of the AISLAM and ABS terminations.
Figure 419 NTRX40AA Power Filter Kit Assembly
2 Route the ABS cables in the power shield of the cable trough. The ABS cables can be
secured with the power cables as they form directly through the opening down to the
terminations.
3 Each cabinet will have an ABS cable IN (ABS1) and an ABS cable OUT (ABS2). The
ABS cannot end but must make a complete loop back to the first originating cabinet.
Refer to Figure 420 for an example.
4 Ensure that ABS cables are identified at both ends.Use the peel-off label from the
P0866901 cable tag and a P0884202 flag cable tie at both ends of the cable for cable
identification of non connectorized cable ends. Cables supplied by the cable
manufacturer already connectorized will have permanent labels applied at the
connectorized end. Refer to event 07 (method 03-9057) for details.
5 AISLAM cables are connectorized on both ends. These cables are to be routed in the
power shield of the cable trough. Form the cables out of the power shield and directly
down to the terminations. Refer to Figure 421.
6 The AISLAM cables will be multipled between cabinets. Typically there will be
cables entering and existing the cabinet. These cables are referenced as "To
Succeeding" and "To Preceding" cabinets.
7 Some of the cables have double 25-pin connectors. When a double connector is used,
place the double connector on the cabinet first. The single end of the next cable is to
be secured to the top of the double connector. Both cables are secured in place using
screws.
8 When a cable with a double connector is installed on the last cabinet in the lineup,
install Connector Cover (A0377672) on the top of the connector. When adding
cabinets to an existing lineup, remove the connector cover and connect the adjacent
cabinet cable to the double connector. Place the connector cover on the new cabinet
cable. This will eliminate the need to remove alarm cables when doing an extension.
9 The AISLAM cables are found in the 1200 specification.

10 It is recommended to form one breaker panel at a time. Form from the top down and
from the front bracket to the rear. The cables terminating at the top circuit breaker
shelf assembly should be closest to the front of the cabinet.
11 The secondary power cables and system cables that are formed down the right rear (as
shown in Figure 431) are to be secured to these brackets with ty-raps.
12 After the cables have passed through the top shelf bracket, bundle the cables going to
the breakers and returns plate separately. Route the cables as shown in Figure 431.
There will be four individual forms as break out of the main form for each breaker
panel. As these cables are broken off, they are to be secured to the transverse arms
located inside the cabinet.
13 The power and ground cables terminating to the breakers and battery return plates are
to be approximately 6 to 7 inches in length. This length is from the breakout of the
main form to the termination point. Battery return cables and power cables are to
terminate on corresponding positions.
Example: Breaker 00 to Return Plate position 00, Breaker 05 to Return Plate position
05, etc.
14 Battery, battery return and ABS cables are to be identified at CRME termination points
and at origination points in equipment lineups.

34.0 CRSC and CEXT System Cabling
34.1 CRSC/ISDN and CRSC/LCM Cabinet Configuration
1 The Model B single cabinet configuration for the Remote Switching Center Sonet
(RSC-S) consists of the NTMX89FB cabinet (CRSC/ISDN) or an NTMX89FA
cabinet (CRSC/LCM). The CRSC cabinet is equipped with four shelves, a ringing
generator shelf, MSP, and cooling units. Refer to Figure 433.
Figure 433 NTMX89FB (CRSC) and NTMX89FA (CRSC/LCM) Cabinet
2 The four shelves that make up the CRSC include the following: The RCC2 supports
54 P-side ports which can be a mix of DS1s/PCM30s, DS-30As, and DCHs. A
maximum of forty-six DS-1/PCM30 ports, thirty-two DS-30A ports or ten DCH ports
may be provided in various combinations. The RCO2 is the international version of
the RCC2.
3 The RCC2 utilizes a Quad Carrier circuit pack which mounts four DS-1 "packlets."
Each packlet provides two DS-1/PCM30 interfaces. Each slot provisioned with a
Quad Carrier may have up to eight DS-1/PCM30s. Refer to Figure 434 for the circuit
pack layout in the RCC2 shelf.

4 When DCH (NTBX02) circuit packs are provisioned in slots 12, 14, and 16, the cable
connecting that slot to the EMI bulkhead must be disconnected at the backplane.
Figure 434 RCC2 Shelf Provisioning
5 Each LCME unit is equipped with four ISDN Enhanced Line Drawers (NTBX32BA)
located in slot positions 1, 5, 9, and 13 of each line shelf assembly. Refer to Figure
435. Each line drawer accommodates two line subgroups and supports up to sixty
lines. The LCME module will support a total of 480 lines of POTS, MDC,
DATAPATH, and ISDN subscriber lines.
6 LCMEs can support NT6X18 type line cards, only, if they are not configured as high
voltage lines (coin, ANI, etc.). If coin lines are required, an LCM must be provisioned
to support them.
7 Phase 1 limits ISDN modules to the CRSC and CEXT cabinets only. All line card
types with the exception of coin lines are provisionable on the ISDN line drawer. The
ISDN line card cannot be mounted in a "POTS" LCM.

1 The RCC2 shelf in the CRSC cabinet and the EXT shelf in the CEXT cabinet are
linked by way of DS-60 links. The DS-60 link cable is limited to 20 ft. in length. Refer
to Figure 437 for an example of the CEXT cabinet.
2 The EXT shelf is two functional modules on a single card cage. Slots 1 through 13
constitute module 0 and slots 14 through 26 constitute Module 1. Each module is
further broken down into two logical units (0 and 1) which provide redundancy.
Each module on the EXT shelf is provisioned independently. The left module (as
viewed from the front) is provisioned in support of the first RCC2 shelf and the right
module is provisioned to support the second RCC2 shelf.

3 Provisioning the EXT shelf enables the assignment of up to forty-six DS-1/PCM30 P
side ports at a cost of DS-30A ports or up to ten DCH ports at a cost of DS-1 ports.
Refer to ISMX89 and CARX06 for port clarification.
4 Refer to NTP-297-2761-155, "RSC-S Planning & Engineering Guide," for the
provisioning configuration tables for the RCC2 and EXT shelves. The tables show all
hardware combinations of DCHs, DS-1/PCM30s, and DS-30s, and take into
consideration the trade-offs between them.
The combinations shown best utilize the hardware from the stand point of growth
without the expense of reconfiguring. When DCH (NTBX02) circuit packs are
provided in the provisionable slots, the cable connecting that slot to the EMI bulkhead
must be removed.

can torque these connectors with the initial torque of 1 ft-lb. This can prevent over
tightening the screws that will break.
Note: This is an initial torque only. There is not any verification torque required.
location.
3 Route the cables from the top of the cabinet and secure with ty-raps to the cable tie
brackets. All cables entering the cabinet must be secured at the first cable tie bracket.
4 Group the cables into two separate bundles according to their terminating location on
the bulkhead.
5 Plug the connectorized cables into their connector locations on the personality plates,
and secure with the connector hood screws.
6 Form and secure the cables going to personality plate positions 05 and 19 to the left
side on the cable tie bracket. Work the excess slack toward the top of the cabinet.
7 Form and secure the cables going to personality plate positions 33 and 47 to the right
of the cables previously formed in paragraph 5. Work the excess slack toward the top
of the cabinet.
8 Do not pull the cables too tight. Leave an amount of service slack in the cables
between the termination point at the connector and the last ty-rap support. The service
slack is to be consistent throughout the installation.

34.4 Installing MTA Cables
Model B Cabinets - All Configurations
The Metallic Test Access (MTA) cables are run to the MDF per the cabling
specifications. Cross-connect the MTA(s) to the test circuits and line modules at the
MDF. Refer to Method 22-1201, "Metallic Test Access (MTA) Cross-Connections
and WTA Installation."
34.5 DS-30A Cabling and Backplane Connections
The DS-30A (NTMX8916 - Model B) cables that are located in position 05 (twisted
pair option bulkheads) or positions 05 and 19 (PCM30 COAX option bulkheads) on
the shop side of the bulkhead, provide port access to the RCC2 backplane positions 13
and 15. Each DS-30A cable is split out into six 2x4 (Amp Level 5) connectors. The
DS-30A connectors are designated A0, B0, C0, D0, E0, F0 through A9-F9. The
number after the letter designates what connector position on the bulkhead that the
DS-30A connector is coming from. (Refer to paragraph 3 for internal DS-30A cables
from a LCME or LCM.) Refer to Cabling Specification 1200 and Drawing D620 for
port assignment and terminating information.
1 Port 22 of the RCC2 is reserved for the "in cabinet" CRSC RMM, port 23 is reserved
for the "1st off cabinet" RMM. Port 24 is not reserved and should be cabled per
engineering specifications. The "off cabinet" RMM port is cabled to the CRSC cabinet
by way of the CEXT/CXT1/CXT2 connector located in personality plate position 19
on the bulkhead.
2 The DS-30A cables connect internal LCM or LCME to the RCC2. The message links
are assigned in descending order and are assigned to the same slot position on the
RCC2, this is acceptable. Do not reassign the message links. The message links are
redundant by having card slots 13 and 15 hardwired together by way of copper tracks
on the RCC2 backplane. Refer to the D620 for other port assignments.
DS-30A cables from the LCME (NTMX8918) or the LCM (NTMX8951) are located
within the cabinet. These cables are internal within the cabinet and do not come off
the bulkhead. They are designated 00A-00J for Unit 0 of the LCME/LCM and
01A-01J for Unit 1 of the LCME/LCM. Refer to the D620 drawing for the port
assignments.
3 Plug in and secure the DS-30A (NTMX8926/16) cables to the D-sub connectors (CO0
through CO9) located on the shop side of the personality plate in position 05/19.
4 Form the cables to the "U" channel on the lower part of the RCC2 shelf and secure with
ty-raps.
Caution: DS-30A Cabling and Back plane Connections require special care when mak-
ing back plane connections. Refer to Figure 443 for the correct pin numbering.
Note: That the pin count skips from pin 40 (port 35) to pin 54 (port 38) for RCC2 slot 15.
The pin count skips from pin 40 (port 37) to pin 54 (port 40) in RCC2 slot 13.
Care must be taken to ensure that the correct pins are used or a service outage may occur.

Method 03-9059 June 28, 2002
5 Exercise care when mating the connectors with the pins on the backpanel. Mate the
2x4 connector pin #1 to the upper right backplane pin of the port to which it is assigned
(as seen from the rear). Repeat for all provisioned ports.
Example: For the LCME XX Unit 0 Port 0 to RCC2 port # 53 connection, align pin
#1 on AMP level 5 connector "A" with pin # 82D on backplane position 13.
Refer to Figure 443 for a typical DS-30A link backplane pin connections.
6 Use a four-inch marking ty-rap (P0633713) and a black Venus sharpie pen to identify
the provisioned port connectors with the position number on the backplane and the first
pin to which the connector is to mate.
Example: Pos 15
Pin 09
7 Spare off the non-assigned port connectors by forming and securing them to the cable
form.
8 Each 2x4 connector is secured with a ty-rap to the individual arms of the DS-30A
brackets in slot positions 13 and 15. Ty-raps are to be wrapped around the arm of the
bracket and the heat shrink of the DS-30A cables.
Note: Ty-raps are not to be wrapped around the bare wire of the DS-30A cable. Refer
to Figure 444 for connection to bracket.
