Installation Procedure Overview
This chapter briefly describes the steps and tools that are required to install the ASR 5500 chassis.
Caution
The copper serial Console port, 1000Base-T management ports, and CO alarm interface of the ASR 5500
are suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. These ports MUST NOT
be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant (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.
