Installing the shelf
The optical routing system (OADM/OMUX) is mounted in an optical shelf
with connections at the front of the module. For user access to these
connections, a minimum of 36 inches (90 cm) of clearance is required. Keep
the area as dust-free as possible.
Step Action
1 Support the chassis so that all the mounting holes in the optical shelf
are aligned with the corresponding holes in the rack.
2 Attach two rack mounting bolts to each side of the rack.
3 Tighten all the bolts in rotation.

into your network.
Step Action
1 Align the plug-in module with the optical shelf.
2 Gently push the plug-in module into the shelf cavity.
3 Tighten the captive screws.
4 Connect the network cables.

that you have the correct GBIC or SFP for your network configuration
by matching the color of the label to the color of the connector label
on the OADM.
2 Clean all fiber optica connectors on the cabling.
