In addition to the hardware pre-installed on the motherboard of your unit, you can also add
extra daughtercards which add processing power to your unit. Each DSP on these
daughtercards can handle one or more T1/E1 ports, depending on which DSP application
is active.
For example, the EdgePlus DSP application can only handle one T1/E1 port, while the
AbisXpress DSP application can handle two T1/E1 ports.
NOTE: Other factors can influence the number of ports a DSP resource can support.
To determine the number of DLP/DDLP cards you need for your network,
please contact your Memotec representative.
There are two types of daughtercards you can add to your CX-U unit:
• A DLP (Digital line processor) card has a single DSP resource that is used to
compress traffic.
• The DDLP (Dual Digital line processor) has a dual DSP resources which doubles
the processing power. Only the CX-U1000 series of units (revision 6 or later)
supports the DDLP cards.

4.2 About DDLP Replacement

This document explains how to identify the DDLP revision present in your CXU device
and explains how to replace your DDLP or add a second DDLP card to your unit. Please
refer to the letter you received from Memotec to determine which task applies to you.
Before you add or replace a DDLP card, you must verify your unit serial number and card
revision number are indeed targeted for this task (see “Verifying the DDLP Cards” on
page 4-4).
• If you wish to replace a DDLP, go to “Replacing a DDLP Card” on page 4-8.

• If you wish to add a second DDLP to your system, go to “Adding a Second
DDLP” on page 4-7.
If you have any questions, please contact Memotec at cx.support@memotec.com.
4.2.1 Verifying the DDLP Cards
To verify the revision of a DDLP, you must open the CX-U Series device chassis and look
at the revision ID on the DDLP itself. Memotec has sent you a letter which includes a list
of CX-U Series devices (with their serial numbers) which are known to have affected
DDLP cards. If you do not have this list, contact Memotec to obtain this list of CX-U
Series device serial numbers (email: cx.support@memotec.com).
To verify your CX-U Series device serial number, look for a white sticker with the serial
number on the back of the unit. It is usually located above the 50-pin RJ-21 connector.
To verify the DDLPs in your unit, follow these steps:
1. Verify if your CX-U Series device has any DDLP daughtercards:

• Connect to your CX-U Series device using CXAccess and type the hardware
command. The nbddlp field will display the number of DDLPs present.
• If the value is different than 0, proceed with the DDLP verification in Step 2.
2. Disconnect all network connections and the power cord.
3. Ground yourself to protect the unit from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
4. Position the unit so it faces you and remove the five Phillips-head screws located on
the top of the chassis (see Figure 4-2).

Installation and Configuration
This section provides step-by-step procedures to install and

configure the hardware components of the CX-U Series. These
procedures prepare the CX-U Series for further configuration
through its resident software.
It is very important to GROUND yourself in order to protect the

device from damage due to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
Read this chapter carefully before performing work on the CX-U Series.
All CX-U Series units must be installed in Restricted Access Locations
(RAL).
Warning
These procedures must be performed only by qualified service personnel.
6.1 Installation Preparations

The CX-U Series fit in a standard rack. The mounting brackets and screws are shipped
with the units.
6.1.1 Unpacking and Inspecting the Units
When you receive your shipment, you should confirm its contents.
To unpack and inspect the units:
1. Examine the shipping boxes and note if there is any damage.

2. Open the shipping boxes and match their contents with the packing slip. If necessary,
make a list of any discrepancies.
3. Examine the exterior of the chassis and cover for cracks, scratches or other signs of
damage. You should fully describe the type, amount and location of damage.
4. Store the shipping boxes and protective foam for future use.
5. Inform your sales representative of shipping discrepancies or damage.
6.1.2 Opening and Closing the Chassis
Installing additional DLPs or DDLPs requires that you first remove the CX-U Series unit
cover, then replace it when the work is done.
To open and close the chassis:
1. Disconnect all network connections.

2. Disconnect the power cord.
3. Ground yourself to protect the unit from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
4. Position the unit so it faces you. Remove the five Phillips-head screws located on the
top of the chassis, see Figure 6-1.
5. Remove the eight Phillips-head screws located on the bottom of the chassis.
6. Slide the base of the unit out by the back. Be careful no to damage the LEDs at the
front of the unit.
7. When you have completed work inside the chassis, slide the base of the unit back by
the rear of the unit. Be careful not to damage the LEDs at the front of the unit, use
caution when fitting them back into their openings.
8. Replace the eight bottom retaining screws, then the five top screws.

6.1.3 Adding a Redundant Backplane to Two Units
Adding a Redundant Backplane requires that you have two CX-U Series units, stacked
one atop the other.
1. Remove the Redundant Backplane from its packaging (if you have not already done
so).
2. Carefully line up all connectors located at the rear of the units, and push the backplane
into place.
3. Fasten the ten retaining screws, to ensure all interface connectors have solid contact
with the backplane.
Figure 6-2: Attaching the Redundant Backplane
NOTE: If you also have the protective plates, you need to add them after the back-
planes. For more information, see “Protective Plates” on page A-12.
6-4 Memotec Inc.

6.1.4 Removing a Faulty Unit
This procedure assumes you have followed the instructions in “Adding a Redundant
Backplane to Two Units” on page 6-4 and one of the two units has failed. In a typical
setup, the top unit handles the traffic (master or main CX-U Series unit), except when a
failure is detected on it. The bottom unit is the backup or slave CX-U Series unit.
For this procedure, call Unit “A” the failed unit, and Unit “B” the redundant backup that
takes over.
1. It is mandatory that Unit A has been powered off when connecting and disconnecting
from the backplane. This ensures that any traffic being carried in Unit A will
automatically shift to Unit B.
2. Remove the five retaining screws from the Unit A, and put them aside for later use.
3. Remove the front rackmount screws, then carefully separate the backplane from Unit
A.
Removing and installing the top unit can be performed by one person. However,
removing and installing the bottom unit requires two people. When the front
rackmount screws have been removed from the bottom unit, it is no longer supported,
a second person is needed to hold the bottom unit during the procedure.
4. Replace Unit A with another unit.
5. Replace the five retaining screws.
You may consult the Status Active LEDs (shown in Figure 2-2 in Chapter 2) to help
determine which unit is carrying traffic.

6.4 Vertically Mounting CX-U Series Units

In certain cases, it is recommended that you mount the CX-U Series units vertically. For
more details, please consult the Product Information Note entitled Thermal Management
When Installing the CX-U1240 In The Hub which is available on the Memotec product
CD, or directly from Memotec.
6.4.1 Vertically Mounting CX-U Series Units
Please follow these instructions for vertically mounting CX-U Series units. This procedure
assumes that you have followed all necessary procedures outlined above for your
application, such as in “Adding DLPs or DDLPs to a Motherboard” on page 6-6 (for
adding DLPs) or “Adding a Redundant Backplane to Two Units” on page 6-4 (for adding
redundant backplanes), as they apply to you, and are ready to mount the units onto a rack.
This procedure also assumes that you have ordered and received a fuse panel (CB-
PWXHD-3), and the CX-U Series vertical mounting hardware (CB-UVMH-10, consisting
of a pair of rails to hold up to ten CX-U Series units vertically). You will also need a heat
deflector.
NOTE: Vertical mounting of CX-U units are recommended when operating above an
ambient temperature of 25°C. The harsh conditions or the cabling on each
side of the units can limit the air flow within the units.
The NEBS recommended operation temperature is 5°C to 40°C.
To vertically mount a CX-U Series unit, follow these steps:
1. Install the fuse panel by fastening the four Phillips screws into place.
2. Below the fuse panel, install the CX-U Series vertical mounting rails onto your
standard 40/44 U rack by fastening the four Phillips screws into place.
3. Place the CX-U Series units, one at a time (or, in a redundant setup, two at a time) by
carefully turning them vertically, making sure the Memotec logo is on the bottom.
4. Fasten the four retaining screws to the vertical mounting rails.
5. Repeat until all units are installed (10 units maximum per row).
6. If you are installing more than ten units, add the heat deflector below the first row of
ten CX-U Series units. Tighten all retaining screws to the rack.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 for the next ten units (if necessary).
8. Repeat, if necessary, for the last ten units.
Up to three rows of ten CX-U Series units can be mounted onto a standard 40/44 U rack.
Each row should be separated by a heat deflector, ensuring all units receive fresh air from
the bottom. See Figure 6-12 to see an actual setup.

6.7 Connecting E1/T1 cables to a CX-U Series unit
NOTE: This serial interface can be used only in countries where the EMC standard
CISPR 22:2008 is not in force.
Serial Inter- The serial interface connects to external devices through either of two cables:
face Cabling
• Three-meter (10 ft) shielded, twisted pair cable with a male DB-25 (RS-530)
connector at one end and a male M-34 block connector at the other
• Three-meter (10 ft) shielded, twisted pair cable with a male DB-25 (RS-530)
connector at one end and a female M-34 block connector at the other.
NOTE: When interfacing the V.35/EIA-530 serial link to a redundant Comtech

modem, it is strongly recommended to use the special CBLH-V35C-10 cable
in order to preserve the integrity of the modem’s redundant control signal.
In a redundant setup with a V.35 link to two Comtech modems, a special “Y” cable is
needed. This cable links both units’ serial interface ports into a 1+1 (hot standby) setup.
With this cable, both units actively ‘listen’ to the incoming traffic. Internal management
assures only one unit sends traffic onto the interface (the active unit).
The redundant EIA-530/V.35 “Y” cable adaptor is available for all CX-U Series units.
EIA-530 Serial The EIA-530 serial interface supports the V.35 standard. However, it uses a V.11 driver/
Interface Con- receiver for data and timing signals and an RS-530 connector (25 pin) for connection to
nectors external devices. The connector is shown in Figure 6-17 and the pinouts are listed in
Figure 6-2.
NOTE: This port is DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) only. If two or more units are
connected back-to-back, a cable must be used to mate the appropriate signals..

A.4 Line Bypass Feature

This software-programmable feature insures that connections do not fail, even if the
equipment does.
A.4.1 Line Bypass in a 12 Port Setup
In a redundant setup, if power is lost on both unit A and unit B, the traffic coming into
channel #1 to #4 inputs is automatically directed to channel #9 to #12 outputs, and the
traffic coming to channel #9 to #12 inputs is directed to channel #1 to #4 outputs. This
bypass route is illustrated in Figure E-2.

Figure E-2 Line Bypass Route (12 ports)
The same route applies for a single unit application where 12 ports are used. If the unit
should fail, or if power is lost, the traffic from channel #9 to #12 inputs is directed to
channel #1 to #4 outputs, and #1 to #4 inputs is directed to channel #9 to #12 outputs.
A.4.3 Line Bypass in a Four Port Setup
In a redundant setup, if power is lost on both unit A and unit B, the traffic coming into the
channel #1 input is automatically directed to channel #4 output, and the traffic coming to
channel #4 input is directed to channel #1 output. This bypass route is illustrated in Figure
E-4.

A.5 Protective Plates

You must attach protective metal plates to the back of the unit, directly behind the
backplanes. These metal plates help to protect the backplanes from any physical damage,
as well as prevent you from inadvertently shorting them out (for example, with a
screwdiver), which could cause link interruptions.
Protective plates
fit on top of the
backplane using
the backplane
screws.
Figure 1-1: Protective plates attached to the backplanes
To attach these protective plates, you can re-use the screws that hold the backplanes in
place. Included in each protective plate kit are metal separators that you must place
between the backplane and the protective plate.

Environmental Information
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment – WEEE
The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) legislation aims to raise the level
of recycling of electrical and electronic equipment and to encourage designers to create
products with recycling in mind.
The Memotec equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural
resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health
and the environment.
In order to avoid the dissemination of those substances in our environment and to diminish
the pressure on the natural resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate take-back
systems. Those systems will reuse or recycle most of the materials of your end-of-life
equipment in a sound way.
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol invites you not to dispose of WEEE as unsorted
municipal waste and to collect such WEEE separately.
