3.To install an RJ21 right‐angle connector, refer to Figure 3‐10 and proceed as follows:

Note: When installing more than one RJ21 right-angle connector, start with the bottom- most front-panel RJ21 connector so that the cables will dress properly over the front panel as shown in Figure 3-10.

a.If using an optional RJ21 angle adapter available from Enterasys Networks, insert the angle adapter into the RJ21 port connector.

b.Tighten the two screws to secure the RJ21 angle adapter to the RJ21 port connector.

c.Insert the RJ21 right‐angled connector into the RJ21 angle adapter until the two retaining clips snap into place. The RJ21 angle adapter allows the cables to be positioned along the front panel of the device when using a right‐angle RJ21 connector.

Note: The cable pinouts for a 25-pair cable (RJ21) can be found in the Cabling Guide. Refer to “ “Related Documents” on page xvi for details on how to obtain this document.

d. Proceed to step 4.
