Cabling the Option 11 IPE Module to external equipment

The following procedure to cable the Option 11 IPE Module to external equipment is only one of a series of procedures to install an IPE Module. The series is shown in Table 11 in Chapter 5, ÒHardware installation overview.Ó Ensure that you have completed steps 1 through 4 in Table 11 before you start the following procedure.

Cabling to external equipment

After installing the IPE Module in the main cabinet or expansion cabinet, connect the cables to external equipment.

Figure 47 shows the cabling from the Option 11 IPE Module to external equipment. The NT1R03AA and NT1R03BA octopus cables connect to the Option 11 cabinetÕs connector panel through NT1R03CA extension cables. Octopus cable ports (called IPE Module ports) connect to external equipment as shown in Figure 47. NT1R03D extension cables attached to the IPE Module ports can provide additional length if needed.

Figure 48 shows the connector panel for the main cabinet, which is at the bottom of the cabinet and recessed to the rear. The connector panel for the expansion cabinet is similar except for the connector port numbering.

For pinouts of the NT1R03AA, NT1R03BA, NT1R03CA, and NT1R03D cables, refer to ÒExternal I/O cable pinoutsÓ in this chapter.
