Note Thefan tray backplane (connector P2) is connected to the E2A alarm contact (connector J14,
pins7 and 8) on the multiplexer chassis (MC) backplane. The fan tray alarm contacts will be wired
in the installation procedures so that fan tray alarms can be transmitted to the ViewRunner
managementsoftware. For more information on connecting the fan tray and the MC, refer to either
theCisco 6100 Series Direct Connect Installation Guide.
Warning Onlytrained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this
equipment.
Ifyou are using dual-port ATU-C modules, use 64-port MC cables. However,if you plan to expand
your system to quad-port xTU-C modules for future releases, you can use 128-port MC cables to
make future expansion easier. The 128-port MC cables are recommended for all new installations.
For detailed port mapping tables, see AppendixC, “Port Mapping.” This appendix includes port
mapping tables to build MC cables.
