General Instructions

Network equipment (excluding fiber optic) and user equipment connect to the Broadmore 1750 via cables routed to connectors on the back of each IOM. The physical interface varies by type of IOM (see “Module Descriptions” on page 1-12). Adapter cables are available for most serial interface SAMs (see “Cable Specifications” on page E-1).

1.Route the equipment cables to the chassis rear.

2.Install the plastic edge protector around both rear access square openings. Note the chassis internal cable tray. Two bars are provided as anchor points for cable ties. This will serve as cable strain relief.

3.Route the cables into the chassis via the square openings on either side of the rear cable tray.

4.Connect the cables to the IOM connectors as labeled for each port and dress out the cables. Use the tray and bars to secure the cable.

NOTE: After completing the hardware installation, visually inspect all modules and connectors. Replace the front and rear covers, if not already in place.
