Cabling the Line Ports and Completing the

Installation

This chapter provides instructions for cabling the Cisco SCE8000 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for single, cascaded, and MGSCP topologies. In a cascade topology, this includes the cascade ports as well as the line ports.

The 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports are located on the 10G SPA modules, which are installed in the

SCE8000-SIP module in slot #3 of the Cisco SCE8000 chassis.

Note When installing a cascaded system, it is extremely important to follow the sequence of procedures outlined in the section Cascaded Systems, page 6-15.

Note When installing an External Optical Bypass module, the Cisco SCE8000 line ports are connected to the module. See Cabling the 10GBE Line Interface Ports: Using the External Optical Bypass Module, page 6-11for complete instructions.
