Jackscrew Installation Instructions (for EIP Ports)

For Cisco Part Number 51-0385-01

Customer Order Number: DOC-781127=

This document provides instructions for replacing the slide-type Ethernet connector locks with jackscrew type connector locks. Typically, Ethernet ports and cable connectors have either slide-type or screw-type locks, both of which provide strain relief and secure the cable to the router port. The slide-type lock is most common, and it is standard on EIP ports.

If your Ethernet cables use thumbscrews rather than posts, you must replace the slide-type lock with jackscrews before you can connect the cables to the ports.

You can complete this replacement while the EIP is installed and operating in the chassis; however, we recommend that you shut down an enabled interfaces before you work on the port.
