Installation Guidelines
Caution The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building
or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly MUST
NOT be metallically connected to interfaces which connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces
are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in
GR-1089-CORE, Issue 5) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary
Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
You can use the grounding lug to attach a wrist strap for ESD protection during servicing.
Warning To prevent the system from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum
recommended ambient temperature of:
149•F (65•C) Statement 1047
Warning This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed
to de-energize the unit. Statement 1028
Installation Guidelines
Before installing the switch, verify that these guidelines are met:
• For Ethernet ports and 1000BASE-T SFP module ports, cable lengths from the switch to connected
devices can be up to 328 feet (100 meters).
• For cable requirements for 1000BASE-T SFP module connections, see the “Cable Pin-outs” section on
figure B-7.
• Operating environment is within the ranges listed in Appendix A, "Technical Specifications"
• Front-panel indicators can be easily read, and access to ports is sufficient for unrestricted cabling
• AC power cord reaches from the power outlet to the connector.
• Cabling is away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, power lines, and fluorescent lighting
fixtures. Make sure that the cabling is safely away from other devices that might damage the cables.
• Airflow around the switch and through the vents is unrestricted.
• For an outside plant installation (cell site cabinet, hut etc.), it is required that the ME 1200 switch be
protected against airborne contaminants, dust, moisture, insects, pests, corrosive gases, polluted air or
other reactive elements present in the outside air. To achieve this level of protection, we recommend that
the unit be installed in a fully sealed enclosure or cabinet. Examples of such cabinets include IP65
cabinets with heat exchanger complying with Telecordia GR487. Temperature must be maintained
within –40ºC to 65ºC.
Note If the switch is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly, the temperature around it might be greater than
normal room temperature.
• Before you connect the switch to a power source, note the power consumption specifications in

Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco ME 1200 NID
Installing and Removing SFP Modules
Note We strongly recommend that you do not install or remove fiber-optic SFP modules with cables attached
because of the potential damage to the cables, the cable connector, or the optical interfaces in the SFP module.
Disconnect all cables before removing or installing an SFP module. Removing and installing an SFP module
can shorten its useful life. Do not remove and insert SFP modules more often than is absolutely necessary.
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface. Find the send (TX) and receive
(RX) markings that identify the top side of the SFP module.
Step 2 On some SFP modules, the send and receive (TX and RX) markings might be replaced by arrows that show
the direction of the connection, either send or receive (TX or RX).
Step 3 Align the SFP module in front of the slot opening and push until you feel the connector on the module snap
into place in the rear of the slot (see Figure 2-8).
Step 4 For fiber-optic SFP modules, remove the dust plugs from the optical ports, and store them for later use.
Note Do not remove the dust plugs from the fiber-optic SFP module port or the rubber caps from the
fiber-optic cable until you are ready to connect the cable. The plugs and caps protect the SFP module
ports and cables from contamination and ambient light.
