Installation and Setup
The 2370 can be installed in a UCS 1000, UCS 1001, or Model 1040 or 1050 enclosure. For details
on the chassis, see the manual for the chassis. The process to install a 2370 is the same for all chassis
options.
2.1 Installation
Follow these steps to install the 2370 and ELIM:
1. Unpack and inspect all components. Save the shipping carton and packing materials in case you
need to return the equipment to the manufacturer. Appendix A provides information for Return
Material Authorization (RMA).
2. Insert the 2370 into an unused slot in the chassis. Slide the 2370 into the rails and push it firmly
into the backplane, then tighten the captive screws. If you encounter resistance, check that no
connector pins are bent.
If you encounter more difficulty, contact Canoga Perkins at (818) 718-6300 for technical assistance.
3. Insert the ELIM into the 2370. Slide the ELIM into the rails and push it firmly into the
connector, then tighten the captive screw. If you encounter resistance, check that no connector
pins are bent.
Note: The 2370 and ELIM are hot-swappable and can be inserted or removed without disrupting
data transfer in other modules in the chassis.
The 2370 uses electrical cables to connect to the local site and fiber optic cables to connect to the
remote modem. Follow these steps to connect the electrical and optical cables:
4. If you will control the 2370 directly through the serial port, plug a DE-9 straight-through serial
cable into the EIA-232 port on the DMM and the serial port on the PC or terminal; for the pinout,
see Table 22 on page 6-2.
5. To connect to the local site, plug the electrical interface cables from the local equipment into the
Rx and Tx connectors using Tx to Rx, and Rx to Tx orientation.
Dirty optical connectors are a common source of link loss or attenuation problems, especially for
single mode fiber (SMF). Clean the connectors before plugging in a cable and whenever there is a
significant or unexplained light loss. To prevent contamination, always install protective dust covers
on unused fiber optic connectors.
6. Wipe the ferrule and the end-face surface of the male fiber coupler with a lint-free isopropyl
alcohol pad from a fiber cleaning kit.
7. Use canned air to blow out any dust from the female fiber coupler.
