Chapter 1 Cisco ONS 15530 Overview
Cisco ONS 15530 Components
Backplane
The Cisco ONS 15530 backplane implements all board-to-board signal interconnects and provides
power distribution within the chassis. Connections are present for two power supplies and the fan
assembly. The backplane contains a total of 12 slots; two half-height slots for the OADM modules, two
full height slots for the CPU switch modules, and eight full height slots for line cards and transponder
cards.
Cable Storage Drawer
The cable storage drawer is mounted directly below the fan assembly. It provides storage for the excess
cable length. Sliding radius limiters move to release the excess fiber cable slack when the drawer is
pulled out, allowing the user to raise the fiber routing tray and access the fan assembly.
Version Identification Labels
The version identifier on a 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation card is located on the inside of the
card. We reccommend that you record the version ID in a safe place before installing the card. You can
also use the show hardware and show inventory commands to verify the version ID of the card.
