The MALC can be deployed in Central Office environments, outdoor

cabinets, or controlled environmental vaults for remote terminal applications.
The MALC is intended for restricted access locations only.
The single uplink from the MALC enables network providers to provision all
classes of services in a single platform and leverage the existing copper
infrastructure going to the Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) locations.
MALC cards are divided into the following general types:
14
Uplink cards provide Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, TDM or IP uplinks
Access line cards provide customer interfaces such as Plain Old

Telephone Service (POTS) and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL).

Resetting cards
The resethold and resetrelease commands are available to place a card on
hold in the system configuration, while the card is still in the MALC chassis.
These commands may be used for diagnostic requirements when a card
configuration should be placed on hold while the physical card remains in
the chassis.
Refer to the Zhone CLI Reference Guide for a detailed command description
MALC busses
The MALC chassis contains the following buses.
Control bus
Supervisory bus
Metallic test access bus
Ring voltage bus
TDM bus
Packet bus
Control bus
This bus is used for program loading and high-level message transfer between
MALC cards.
Supervisory bus
This bus is used by the active uplink cards for low-level control and
monitoring of the other cards.
Metallic test access bus

The metallic test access bus is used by the MTAC card to gain access to cards
and the buses in the system.
Ring voltage bus

The ring voltage bus provides ringing voltage to the cards, such as the POTS
card, that require it. The MTAC card generates the ringing voltage and
controls access to the ring voltage bus.
TDM bus
The TDM bus is used by the POTS cards to send pulse code modulation
(PCM)-encoded voice traffic to the uplink card. The uplink card performs the
TDM-to-GR-303 and TDM to ATM conversions to send the TDM data to the
20
Hardware overview
Class 5 switch or ATM network. Each TDM channel on the bus is assigned to
a fixed channel on a POTS card. VoIP signals do not use the TDM bus.
Packet bus
The system packet bus is comprised of two 2.5 Gbps buses which combine to
produce a total throughput of 5 Gbps. The uplink cards contain packet
processors capable of forwarding bridged or routed frames at 5 Gbps as well.
Each card has full access to the backplane of 5 Gbps.

ungrounded branch-circuit supply conductors as part of the circuit that
supplies the product or system. Bare, covered, or insulated grounding
conductors are acceptable. Individually covered or insulated equipment
grounding conductors should have a continuous outer finish that is either
green, or green with one or more yellow stripes. Connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to ground at the service equipment.

Installation precautions
Installation precautions
Avoid creating a hazardous condition by maintaining even weight distribution
within the chassis.
WARNING! Two people are required to lift the MALC 719 or
MALC 723 systems because they weigh too much for one person
to lift. Do not attempt to lift the system chassis without assistance
or personal injury can result.
Avoid creating a hazardous condition by following proper procedures when
creating intra-building connections.
WARNING! 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 that 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 4) 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.
Maximum operating temperature should not exceed 650C (1490F). The
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than ambient room
temperature when the system is installed in a closed or multiunit rack
assembly. Observe the maximum recommended operating temperature as
indicated here.
Do not block system air vents; this will deprive the system of the airflow
required for proper cooling. Sufficient clearance must exist on all sides of the
rack to permit equipment access.
Zhone recommends using cabling ducts for cable routing in rack mounts.
To facilitate proper cooling, cover unpopulated slots with a blank front panel.
All slots must have a card or a blank panel installed at all times for EMC,
safety and cooling requirements.
The system ships with mounting brackets. To avoid overloading the mounting
brackets, and damaging the system, do not use the MALC chassis to support
other equipment after it is mounted in the rack.
Connect the system to the power supply circuit as described in this document.
Do not overload the system or power supply circuit.
Ensure that proper system grounding is performed and maintained. Use power
supply connections for grounding instead of branch circuitry (such as power
strips).

Power requirements and specifications
Power requirements and specifications

Separate A and B power feeds allow two individual 48V DC power sources
to be connected to the MALC system. The Return (+) terminals are
common.For the 19- and 23-inch MALC chassis, the power wiring is
field-terminated inside the lower front of the chassis. The MALC 319 chassis
is provided with factory-terminated power cables.
Note: The installation site must include overcurrent protection, such
as fuses or circuit breakers, that will limit current at the A and B
power inputs.
Cabling rules
Following are power cabling rules applicable to the MALC system.
Provide an appropriate disconnect device as part of the building

installation for systems such as the MALC that receive power from an
external, auxiliary, or emergency source. When power is routed from a
power distribution frame, the disconnect device can be used as a power
cutoff (for example, an ON/OFF switch or breaker).
Connect all disconnect devices so that they disconnect all ungrounded

conductors of a DC power circuit when placed in the OFF position.
All power cables must be rated VW-1 or higher.
Use power cabling of 10 AWG for applications of 25 feet (7.62 m) or less

from the central power distribution bus.

Connecting power and grounding the chassis

Grounding requirements on page 44
Connecting power to the MALC and grounding the chassis on page 46
Connecting power to the MALC 319 and grounding the chassis on

page 49
Note: Bare, covered, or insulated grounding conductors must comply
with Underwriters Laboratory (UL) standards. Individually covered
or insulated grounding conductors shall have a continuous outer
finish that is either green or green with one or more yellow stripes.
The equipment grounding conductor should be connected to the
ground at the service equipment. The grounding cable must be rated
at VW-1 or higher.
Zhone recommends grounding the MALC using minimum 10 gauge
copper wire and NRTL-listed two hole compression-type connectors
(such as Amphenol part number 1527272-3).
Grounding requirements
Use the guidelines in this section to provide a system ground for the
MALC.
Before concluding a MALC installation and applying DC power, measure
the impedance of the building ground reference and ensure that it is less
than 25 ohms, for safety. Use an ECOS 1023 POW-R-MATE or an EMC
Instrument Model 3710 or similar meter to do this. Zhone recommends
that the impedance be 1 ohm or less for proper equipment operation.
If the ground path connected to the MALC has an impedance of more
than 1 ohm, make improvements to the grounding system before
installing the MALC equipment.
Other grounding requirements are as follows:
44
The earth ground rod is normally buried in the ground at the site.
Observe local electrical codes for buried grounding techniques and
requirements. Ensure that the ground rod has been installed per local,
telco, and NEC code requirements.
Use a dedicated power source that is only shared with other isolated
bonding network (IBN)-configured equipment to provide power to
the MALC and all other related equipment. This prevents interference
from possible high surge or noise currents present in some industrial
buildings. Otherwise, you must ensure a proper grounding path of
less than 1ohms to the building ground.
Use the ground bus of a dedicated AC service panel as the location/

site ground of the MALC equipment. This ground bus must already
be connected to the main service panel ground or main building
ground reference.
The impedance of the link between the ground terminal of the MALC
and the location/site ground to which it is connected must be less than
0.25 ohms.
The rack the MALC is installed in must be properly grounded. To

verify proper grounding of the rack and the chassis to the rack, please
see Verifying proper grounding between the chassis and the rack,
page 51.
Never connect a single-point-ground conductor from the MALC to

structural steel members or electrical conduits. Specifically, never tie
this conductor to a ground source or grounded electrode that is not
hard-wired to the building ground reference conductor.
It is recommended to avoid running in-building cabling near

fluorescent lights and other sources of high frequency radiation such
as transformers.
Avoid spliced conductors. Use continuous conductors, which have

lower impedance and are more reliable than spliced ones.
Terminate all conductors in a permanent manner. Ensure all

terminations are easily visible and accessible for maintenance
purposes.
Tag ground connections clearly with a message such as CRITICAL

CONNECTION: DO NOT REMOVE OR DISCONNECT.
Although some electrical codes permit the use of a conduit as the sole
ground conductor between equipment, it is still recommended to use a
separate insulated ground conductor through the same conduit. The
separate insulated ground conductor maintains the safety ground
connection if the conduit is corroded or disconnected.
Avoid a ground path via serial craft interface RS-232C. The MALC
RS-232C local craft interface has pins referenced to ground. To
prevent undesirable ground path via an attached computer, it is
recommended that you only use a portable computer. If only a
desktop computer or VT-100 type monitoring equipment is available,
use it in conjunction with a UL/CSA Certified RS-232 Opto-Isolator.
The thumbscrews for cards must be screwed in.
Blank face plates must be used in slots that do not have slot cards
present.
Ground conductors for the MALC must meet the following requirements:
No smaller than 10 AWG at any point.
Does not carry current under normal operating conditions.
45
Installing the MALC
Must be tied to the +48V battery return at the main power

Distribution Center. Absence of this connection can cause
malfunctions on some cards, including generation of the
MALC-MTAC/RINGER-ENH card error message Internal ringer
not detected.
Should be hardwired to the main ground reference.
Connecting power to the MALC and grounding the chassis

Installation guidelines
Observe the following rules when handling MALC slot cards:
Handle each card by its front panel or stiffener. Never touch the solder
side, connector pins, or components on a printed circuit card, and do not
allow cards to come into contact with one another.
To prevent damage to slot cards when not in use, store and handle the
cards in their original containers. Keep the cards in their original packing
cartons to prevent damage caused by dust or dirt. Be sure to store the
cards in areas that are free from excessive humidity and temperatures.
Caution: The MALC system slot cards are susceptible to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can cause component failure and
degraded system performance. Take adequate precautions to prevent
electrostatic discharge with these cards. Always wear a properly
grounded wrist strap, or equivalent protection, when handling system
cards.
Note: MALC and MALC 319 use the same slot cards with the
exception of the MTAC/Ring-FC card, which is only used in the
MALC 319.
Installing a slot card in the MALC chassis

Note: You must install the uplink card in slot 1 or slot 2 (the 2
left-most slots).
52
Put on an antistatic wrist strap that touches the skin. Make sure it is
properly grounded to the ESD jack on the front of the unit.
Carefully remove the card from its antistatic packaging.
Visually inspect the card for damage. Check the label and part number on
the card to verify the type of card being installed is the type needed for the
particular application.
Holding the card by its faceplate, carefully insert the card into a slot. Hold
the bottom ejector open and slowly slide the card onto the backplane pins.
Close the bottom ejector to firmly seat the card.
Caution: To prevent damage to the backplane pins, do not force

cards onto the backplane pins when seating the cards. If you have
trouble seating a card, check that it is in the correct slot, pull the
card out, and try seating it again by pressing gently.

Logging into the serial (craft) port

Note: Do not use the serial craft port of a standby card to modify its
configuration.
The MALC unit provides an out-of-band RS232 D serial (craft) interface for
managing the unit. To access the serial port, configure your terminal interface
software with the following settings:
9600bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
No flow control
Tip: The serial (craft) port settings can be changed by modifying the
rs232-profile.
You must perform the initial configuration of the system using the serial
(craft) interface. After you have completed the initial configuration, you can
manage the MALC unit over the network through a telnet session over the
Ethernet interface or over the management PVC.
Note: The MALC supports 6 concurrent management sessions, 5
telnet sessions and a single local session through the serial (craft)
port.

Fiber optic maintenance and handling, page 73
Cabling guidelines
To be in compliance with NEC article 800, ensure that the power lines are
placed at least two inches away from the communication cables. This can be
accomplished by tie-wrapping and routing the power lines behind the rack
(route the communication cables in front of the rack).
Note: To comply with FCC regulations, cables and connectors must
be shielded. If you intend to install cable covers, the maximum height
of the connector head and cable should be two inches.
If the MALC is going to be installed in an inside plant, the cables
must be shielded and grounded at both ends.
MALC system connectors are located in the front of the chassis. No
cables are included with the installation kit. You must order any
cables that are required.

System cables and connectors
Connecting optical ATM trunking cables

WARNING! The single-mode fiber optic interfaces on the OC-3c/
STM1 and OC-12c/STM4 uplink cards emit invisible laser
radiation that may cause harm. When an optical cable is
connected to the card, the radiation is confined to the cable and
does not present a hazard. However, if you are servicing the
OC-3c/STM1 uplink or OC-12c/STM4 uplink cards, always use
the following precautions:
Disconnect the card from the MALC before installing or

removing cables
Ensure that the protective rubber tips cover the SC connectors

when not in use
Never look directly into the optical ports

1. Disengage the OC-3c/STM1 uplink card from the MALC backplane to
ensure that the optic interface is not emitting laser radiation.
2. Remove the protective rubber tips from the SC connectors on one end of
the fiber optic cable or cables.
3. Remove the protective rubber tips from the SC connectors on the OC-3c/
STM1 uplink card.
4. Gently insert the SC on the cable into the Tx and Rx ports on the uplink
card.
5. Connect the other end of the cable that is connected to the uplink card Tx
connector to the Rx port on the ATM device.
6. Connect the other end of the cable that is connected to the uplink card Rx
connector into the Tx port on the ATM device.

Alarm cable and contacts guidelines

The MALC 719 and MALC 723 chassis alarms are located in the lower left of
the chassis, behind the bezel. See Figure 27.
MALC 319 chassis alarms are located on the MTAC-FC card.
Figure 27: MALC chassis alarms
The specifications and requirements for the MALC chassis alarm cable and
alarm relay contacts are as follows:
The alarm cable must be rated at VW-1 or higher. To comply with Part 15
of FCC regulations, all cables to DB connectors must be foiled with
braided shielding.
One cable is required to interface to the alarms connector. The minimum

gauge for this cable is 20 AWG (24 AWG recommended). To limit alarm
cable signal losses, its length should not exceed 60 feet.
Alarm relay contacts are rated at 62.5 VA (defined as being capable of

switching 1 amp at 62.5 volts). The maximum switching current of the
relay is 1 amp.
Note: Temperature alarms appear in Farenheit (F), while the
shelfctrl command displays temperature in Celsius (C)

Fiber optic maintenance and handling

This section describes how to clean the optical connectors and receptacles
used with Zhone Technologies equipment. These processes should be applied
to optical components only in instances where degraded performance is
evidence that the connection is contaminated.
Laser radiation on page 73
Handling optical fibers on page 74
Selecting cleaning materials on page 74
Cleaning a connector on page 75

Repairing optical fibers on page 75
Laser radiation
Zhone equipment and associated optical test sets use laser sources that emit
light energy into fiber cables. This energy is within the red (visible) and
infrared (invisible) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Laser products are subject to federal and state or provincial regulations, and
local practices. Regulation 21 CFR 1040 of the U.S. Bureau of Radiological
Health requires manufacturers to certify each laser product as Class I, II, III,
or IV, depending upon the characteristics of the laser radiation emitted. In
terms of health and safety, Class I products present the least hazard (none at
all), while Class IV products present the greatest hazard.
Read and observe the following precautions to decrease the risk of exposure
to laser radiation.
WARNING! Risk of eye damage. At all times when handling
optical fibers, follow the safety procedures recommended by your
company.
Although Zhone optical products have a Class I certification, hazardous
exposure to laser radiation can occur when fibers connecting system
components are disconnected or broken. Certain procedures carried out
during testing require the handling of optical fibers without dust caps and
therefore increase the risk of exposure. Exposure to either visible or invisible
laser light can damage your eyes under certain conditions.
During service, maintenance, repair, or removal of cables or equipment,
follow these rules:
Avoid direct exposure to fiber ends or optical connector ends. Laser

radiation may be present and can damage your eyes.
73
Follow the manufacturers instructions when using an optical test set.

Incorrect calibration or control settings can result in hazardous levels of
radiation.
Handling optical fibers

When you work with optical fibers, you must take these precautions:
Wear safety glasses when you install optical fibers.
Clean your hands after you handle optical fibers. Small pieces of glass are
not always visible and can damage your eyes. If you have a piece of a
glass in your eye, get medical assistance immediately.
Never look into an active optical fiber or a optical fiber connector opening
of an active or powered-up unit.
Prevent direct exposure to optical fiber ends or optical connector ends

where you can directly access the laser signal. Do not handle pieces of
optical fiber with your fingers. Use tweezers or adhesive tape to lift and
discard any loose optical fiber ends.
Wear rubber gloves when you clean optical connectors. The gloves
prevent direct contact with the isopropyl alcohol and prevent
contamination of the ferrules with skin oils.
Place all optical fiber clippings in a plastic container provided for that
purpose.
Handle optical fibers with caution. Place the optical fibers in a safe
location during installation.
Protect all optical fiber connectors with clean dust caps at all times.
Follow the manufacturer instructions when you use an optical test set.
Incorrect calibration or control settings can create hazardous levels of
radiation.
Selecting cleaning materials

Materials used for cleaning Zhone Technologies equipment should be high
quality and suitable for the purpose.
74
Disconnect the cable end to be cleaned.
Using inert dusting gas, blow accumulated dust and debris off the
cylindrical and end-face surfaces of the connector.
Apply optical-grade isopropyl alcohol to a cleaning tissue.
Gently wipe the tissue over the cylindrical and end face surfaces of the
connector perpendicular to the cable, then fold the cloth and repeat the
operation. Always use a clean tissue. Reusing the same portion of the
tissue may result in recontamination.
Dry the connector by blowing it with inert dusting gas for two seconds,
holding the nozzle approximately inch from the end of the connector.
Recap or reconnect the connector promptly to avoid contamination.

Check for proper system function.
Optical cleaning kits are available from optical supply sources.
Cleaning a connector
1
Disconnect the cable end to be cleaned.
Using inert dusting gas, blow accumulated dust and debris off the
cylindrical and end-face surfaces of the connector.
Apply optical-grade isopropyl alcohol to a cleaning tissue.
Gently wipe the tissue over the cylindrical and end face surfaces of the
connector perpendicular to the cable, then fold the cloth and repeat the
operation. Always use a clean tissue. Reusing the same portion of the
tissue may result in recontamination.
Dry the connector by blowing it with inert dusting gas for two seconds,
holding the nozzle approximately inch from the end of the connector.
Recap or reconnect the connector promptly to avoid contamination.

Cleaning a receptacle
Clean the optical ports on modules only if there is evidence of contamination
or reduced performance. To minimize contamination and cleaning, keep all
optical ports securely covered with a connector or a dust cap.
1
Using the extension tube supplied with the inert dusting gas, blow into the
optical port to remove any accumulated dust and debris. Do not allow the
tube to touch the bottom of the optical port.
Using a swab with a small head, such as TexWipe Microswab, and

optical-grade isopropyl alcohol, wipe out the optical port.
Recap or reconnect the receptacle promptly to avoid contamination.

Repairing optical fibers

When an accidental break in the fiber feeder cable occurs, take the following
steps:
1
Notify both central-office and field-repair personnel of the problem.
Identify to central-office personnel what fibers are damaged.
Power off all laser sources related to the damaged fibers (whether located
at the central office, subscriber premises, or remote location).
75
76
MANAGING THE MALC

This chapter describes how to log into the MALC and add a remote
management channel. It includes the following sections:
Logging into the serial (craft) port, page 77
Configuring a management interface, page 79

Note: Do not use the serial craft port of a standby card to modify its
configuration.
The MALC unit provides an out-of-band RS232 D serial (craft) interface for
managing the unit. To access the serial port, configure your terminal interface
software with the following settings:
9600bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
No flow control
Tip: The serial (craft) port settings can be changed by modifying the
rs232-profile.
You must perform the initial configuration of the system using the serial
(craft) interface. After you have completed the initial configuration, you can
manage the MALC unit over the network through a telnet session over the
Ethernet interface or over the management PVC.
Note: The MALC supports 6 concurrent management sessions, 5
telnet sessions and a single local session through the serial (craft)
port.
Logging in and out of the system

Log into the system (the default user name is admin, the default password
is zhone):
77
Managing the MALC
login:admin
password:
zSH>
To log out of the system, enter the logout command:

zSh> logout
Tip: The system automatically logs you out after a period of

inactivity. The default logout time is 10 minutes, but can be changed
with the timeout command. Refer to the Zhone CLI Reference Guide
for information on the timeout command.
Enabling and disabling logging

By default logging is enabled on the serial craft port and disabled over
telnet sessions. To enable or disable logging for the session, using the
following command:
zSh> log session on | off
The log session command only applies to the current session. You can
also enable or disable logging for all serial craft port sessions using the
following command:
zSh> log serial on | off
This command setting persists across system reboots.
78
Configuring a management interface

This section describes how to configure the following interfaces to remotely
manage the MALC:
Uplink card 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface on page 79
ATM management connection on page 81
Managing the MALC with ZMS on page 82

Note: If you want to manage the MALC over an ATM PVC, first
configure the Uplink ATM interface as described later in this manual.
Uplink card 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface

The MALC has a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet interface on the Uplink card. The
ip-interface-record for the Uplink card is named ethernet1. This interface is
shared between the two Ethernet ports on redundant Uplink cards (if they
exist). The system can be reached using the address configured in the
ethernet1 ip-interface-record, no matter which card is active.
Caution: The Uplink card Ethernet interface must be configured
before any other interfaces on the system, even if you do not intend to
manage the unit over the Ethernet.
Configuring the Ethernet IP interface

The following example configures the IP address for the system. Refer to
the CLI Reference Guide for a complete description of the command
options and syntax.
zSH> interface add 1-1-1-0/ethernetcsmacd static 192.168.8.21 255.255.255.0
Created ip-interface-record ethernet1/ip
Note: If you have problems with IP interfaces not automatically

binding, refer to the MALC Configuration Guide for more
information.
Verifying the interface

Use the interface show command to verify that the Ethernet interface was
configured correctly:

Managing the MALC
Adding, changing and deleting card profiles

The card command enables users to add, change, update, and delete card
profiles. Optional parameters are available software load filename, card group
ID, linetype, line card voltage (ISDN cards only), and status. By default, new
card profiles are enabled and use the system assigned software load file.
When you have physically added a card to the MALC, you will need to
provision the card with software.
The card change command can be used to change a card profile settings, for
example using a different card type. By default, the system validates that there
is a match between the software load file and the card type. An optional
parameter is available to override validation to use a software load file that
does not match the card type. One use of this feature is to reuse profiles and
configurations when replacing Annex A cards with Annex A/M cards.
Replacement Annex A/M cards can be used as spares or backup for existing
Annex A cards.
The card update command can be used to modify card-profile settings after
the initial card configuration.
Refer to the MALC Configuration Guide for a detailed command description

Installing a slot card in the MALC 319 chassis on page 89
Installation guidelines
Observe the following rules when handling MALC slot cards:
Handle each card by its front panel or stiffener. Never touch the solder
side, connector pins, or components on a printed circuit card, and do not
allow cards to come into contact with one another.
To prevent damage to slot cards when not in use, store and handle the
cards in their original containers. Keep the cards in their original packing
cartons to prevent damage caused by dust or dirt. Be sure to store the
cards in areas that are free from excessive humidity and temperatures.
Caution: The MALC system slot cards are susceptible to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can cause component failure and
degraded system performance. Take adequate precautions to prevent
electrostatic discharge with these cards. Always wear a properly
grounded wrist strap, or equivalent protection, when handling system
cards.
Note: MALC and MALC 319 use the same slot cards with the
exception of the MTAC/Ring-FC card, which is only used in the
MALC 319.
Installing a slot card in the MALC chassis

Note: You must install the uplink card in slot 1 or slot 2 (the 2
left-most slots).

Replacing running redundant uplink cards

This section provides the procedures about how to replace running uplink
cards in a powered chassis:
Removing a running uplink card on page 91
Installing an uplink card on page 92
Removing a running uplink card

Use the following procedure to remove an active uplink card or a standby
uplink card:
1
Before removing an uplink card, use slot command to verify that there
are two uplink cards in the chassis, and both unplink cards are in the
running state.
zSH> slots
Uplinks
1:*MALC FEGE RPR TDM (RUNNING)
2: MALC FEGE RPR TDM (RUNNING)
Cards
11: MALC POTS 48/with Packet Voice (RUNNING)
15: MALC XDSL 48/with Packet Voice POTS (RUNNING)
17:*MALC MTAC (RUNNING)
Identify the active uplink card by one of these two methods:

a
Look the Active LED on the uplink card faceplate.

The uplink card with the Active LED solid green is the active uplink
card. The uplink card with the Active LED blinks once a second is the
standby uplink card.
Use "slots" command to identify the active uplink card. The active
uplink card is marked with "*".
To remove a standby uplink card, proceed to Step 5.
To remove an active uplink card, force this uplink card to become standby
by one of these two methods:
Use the "slotreboot" command on the active uplink card to force the active uplink card become
standby:
zSH> slotreboot 1
The slot address and THIS card address are the same.
Do you want to reboot slot 1? (yes or no) [no] yes
Do you want to exit from this request? (yes or no) [yes] no
Are you sure? (yes or no) [no] yes
91
Use the "resethold" command on the active uplink card to disable the
active uplink card. And the another uplink card will become active:

Do you want to reset hold slot 1? (yes or no) [no] yes
Do you want to exit from this request? (yes or no) [yes] no
Are you sure? (yes or no) [no] yes
Disconnect the cables from the faceplate of the standby uplink card to be
removed.
Loosen the top and bottom screws of the standby uplink card.
Unscrew the top and bottom screws from the standby uplink card.
Push the slide lock on the bottom of the standby uplink card up.
10 Lift the top and bottom ejectors.

11 Slide the standby uplink card out.
Installing an uplink card

Use the following procedure to insert an uplink card back to chassis:
1
Holding the uplink card by its faceplate, carefully insert the uplink card
into a slot 1 or slot 2. Hold the bottom ejector open and slowly slide the
card onto the backplane pins.

The uplink card will not boot if the card lock is not in the down position.
92
Tighten the top and bottom screws to seat the uplink card in the
backplane.
If step 4b resethold was used when removing the active uplink card,
then send the "resetrelease" command so that the uplink card boots up and
becomes standby.

Cleaning and replacing the air filter

Zhone recommends you clean or replace the MALC air filter every 3 to 6
months.
Cleaning the air filter

Before cleaning the air filter, visually inspect it for damage. If the filter is
damaged, replace it.
When cleaning the filter, avoid using harsh solvents or cleaning agents.
Even though this type of filter may be cleaned, replacement is
recommended every two to three years to ensure media durability and
eliminate residual dust build-up and subsequent air flow resistance.
If the filter condition is good then, any of the following methods can be
used to clean the filter:
Vacuuming.
Compressed air. Direct the compressed air in the opposite direction of

normal air flow.
Rinsing with cold water. Allow the filter to completely dry before
reinstalling it in the MALC chassis.
Soaking in warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and

allow the filter to completely dry before reinstalling it in the MALC
chassis.
Removing the air filter with the cable management bracket

installed
Replacing the air filter requires you to temporarily remove the cable
management bracket (if installed). Before performing this procedure, make
sure the MALC connectors are securely fastened.
1
Carefully unscrew the cable management bracket, leaving the cables

secured to the bracket.
Gently lift the bracket up and out until there is enough free space to
remove the air filter.

Replacing fan tray
Replacing fan tray

Removing and replacing the fan tray for a MALC 723
The MALC 723 should be powered down before removing the fan tray. Power
flows to the MALC through the fan tray, so removing the fan tray removes
power from the unit, however, it is recommended that power be removed from
the MALC, rather than by removing the fan tray.
Removing the fan tray for a MALC 723

1
Remove upper activity lights facing.
Loosen and remove screws at either end of the upper inner facing.
Using thumb-pull ring, gently slide our the fan tray assembly.

Insert tray in the upper fan tray cavity.
Gently push the tray back in a even manner, so the power connector of the
fan tray seats securely in the MALC chassis power connector.
The fan tray must be seated securely. As the fans are necessary to provide
proper cooling all power to the MALC goes through the fan tray.
Reinsert screws on either end of the inner facing of the fan tray and gently
tighten.
99
Replace outer upper activity light facing.
Verify the fans.

Once the fan tray is installed back on the chassis, you should see the
LEDs on the front powered on. Additionally you can run the CLI
shelfctrl command to verify the fans are functional. The display for the
shelfctrl command shows the temperature, status for fan power and fan
status (shown in bold).

Removing the failing fan for a MALC 319
1
Remove all the cards from the MALC 319 chassis.
Zhone does not recommend performing the fan replacement on a MALC

or RAPTOR 319 chassis which is populated with cards. For practical
reasons, it is also necessary to remove the chassis from the rack as
removing a fan requires removing the metallic skin which covers the unit.
2
102
Remove the screw on the sides of the chassis.
Replacing fan tray
Using a screwdriver remove both screws on the side of the fan tray as
indicated on the following images. There are 14 screws in the laterals and
back of the chassis. It is necessary to remove all of them to lift the chassis
metallic cover.
Do not discard the screws; they will be used to secure the chassis cover
once the fan has been replaced.
3
Remove the metallic cover of the chassis.
103
Once the screws on the side of the fan tray shelf have been removed,
using both hands pull the chassis metallic cover to the side. The
backplane and fans will be visible once the cover has been removed.
4
Remove the fan power connectors.
Remove the metal pieces securing the fan.
Using a screwdriver, remove the two screws that secure the metal plates
which hold the fan in place. Once the screws have been removed, slide the
metal plates to side of the rail. The fans will then be free to be removed
from the fan cage.
