Cabling network modules and loops

Page 253 of 456

 

 

3Cable network loops from the faceplate connector on the superloop network card to the backplane for associated controller cards (see Table 33 on page 254).

Label both ends of an NT8D91 cable with the loop number, then connect one end of the cable to the superloop network card faceplate connector:

J1 for Shelf 1

J2 for Shelf 0

On the backplane for the controller card, connect the cable to the SL0, SL1, SL2, or SL3 connector assigned to the loop.

Note: The key (polarizing tab) on the side of the cable connector must be inserted into the keyway on the left side, facing the backplane, of the backplane connector. Blue and white wires should show through the top of the cable connector and, if there is a directional label, the arrow on the cable connector should be located at the top right.

Figure 110 on page 255 shows the superloop network card faceplate connectors, the backplane connectors for the controller card, and the cables required.

4Seat and secure all connectors.

5Set the Enb/Dis switch on each network card to Enb.

6During system software configuration, use the Software Input/Output: Administration (NN43001-611) to enter loop assignments.
