3.1 Mounting the DWDM-8
The DWDM-8C must be mounted in a Flashlink subrack. This is done from the rear of
the subrack. Do not use force when inserting the DWDM-
8C, once the module’s upper
rail aligns with the card rail in the subrack, it should slide easily into place. Lock it with 4
M2.5x8mm screws.

3.2 1-8 channel system
Connect each of the optical ports to the corresponding optical port on the receiver or
transmitter that matches the signal type and wavelength.
Care must be taken to stay within the power supply specification for the frame. Power
su
pply requirements for each module are listed in that module’s user manual. If the
total power supply requirement for a frame exceeds the capabilities of the power supply
mounted in that frame, some modules must be moved to a separate frame and power
supply.
