Hardware Installation
This section lists hardware installation tasks, including booting up the ML-Series card. Because
ONS 15454 SONET/SDH card slots can be preprovisioned for an ML-Series line card, the following
physical operations can be performed before or after the provisioning of the slot has taken place.
1. Install the ML-Series card into the ONS 15454 SONET/SDH. See Chapter 2, “Install Cards and
Fiber-Optic Cable” of the Cisco ONS 15454 Procedure Guide or Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Procedure
Guide for information.
2. Connect the cables to the front ports of the ML-Series card.
3. (Optional) Connect the console terminal to the ML-Series card.
Note A NO-CONFIG condition is reported in CTC under the Alarms pane when an ML-Series card is inserted
and no valid Cisco IOS startup configuration file exists. Loading or creating this file clears the condition.
See the
“Startup Configuration File” section on page 3-7 for information on loading or creating the file.
