This section describes checkout procedures to follow after the hardware is in place and ready to receive
power. The “IGX Configuration Summary” section on page 3-59 summarizes the steps and lists the
commands for bringing up the system.
Before using the IGX node, be sure that the following procedures are complete:
Step 1 If the IGX node uses AC, make sure that the node is connected to the correct AC receptacle. For a
DC-powered unit, make sure that it connects to the correct, dedicated DC source.
Step 2 Check the record for the correct switch status for switch W6 on the SCM. See the recommendation in
the “Preparing the Cards” section on page 3-1. If the switch position was not previously verified, check
it now. W6 sits above component U7P on the SCM. To indicate to the controller card that the system is
an IGX 8430 node, remove the jumper. To indicate that the system is an IGX 8420 node, leave the
jumper on the card. For an IGX 8410, Cisco personnel set the switch positions to indicate the node type.
Step 3 The full complement of cards for the node are mounted in the correct slots, correctly seated, and secured
with screws.
Step 4 The T1 cables are attached to the correct BC-T1, BC-UVI-2T1EC, or UFI-8T1 card.
Step 5 The E1 cables are attached to the correct BC-E1, BC-UVI-2E1EC, or UFI-8E1 card.
Step 6 The Fractional E1 or T1 connections are attached to the BC-E1 or BC-T1 card connector if the IGX node
is providing Fractional E1 or T1 service.
Step 7 The Subrate connections connect to the BC-SR card if the IGX node is providing Subrate E1 or T1
service.
Step 8 E3 cables connect to the correct BC-UAI-1E3 card.
Step 9 T3 cables connect to the correct BC-UAI-1T3 card.
Step 10 The data connections are attached to the appropriate SDI/LDI cards.
Step 11 A control terminal connects to the Control Terminal port on the SCM in back slot 1, or a Cisco WAN
Manager workstation connects to the AUI port, and the power cord is plugged into the appropriate AC
receptacle.
Caution If the FAN 2 connector on the PE-BC is unused, be sure not to plug the control terminal
cable into FAN2.
Step 12 If specified, a printer connects to the AUX port on the SCM in back slot 1, and the power cord is plugged
into the appropriate AC receptacle.
Step 13 If specified, one or more modems connect to the Control Terminal port or AUX port, as applicable, on
the SCM in back slot 1, and any modem power cords plug into the appropriate AC receptacle.
Step 14 At the back of the unit, turn the circuit breakers to the ON position. In a system using a DC source, attach
the cable guard (AC should already have the cable guard in place). After initial power up, DC systems
can be switched off and on either at the PEM or at the building site’s resident circuit breaker. Use the
building’s DC circuit breaker only if all cables are clearly marked, if the building’s dedicated circuit
breaker has an actual switch and not just a fuse, and if controlling power at the building’s circuit breaker
actually provides an advantage over removing the cable guard.
