Cabling the Options 21Ð81 IPE Module to external equipment

The following procedure to cable an Options 21Ð81 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.

After installing the IPE Module in the IPE shelf, connect the cables to external equipment.

Figure 55 shows the cabling from the Options 21Ð81 IPE Module to external equipment. The NT1R03AA and NT1R03BA octopus cables connect to the IPE shelf I/O panels (shown in Figure 55). Octopus cable ports (called IPE Module ports) connect to external equipment. The NT1R03D extension cable attached to the IPE Module ports can provide additional length if needed.

IPE Module connections are made to the IPE shelf I/O panels. Figure 56 illustrates the I/O panels.

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