Connecting a DSL Card Using Cable Ties

Procedure

To connect a DSL card in the 8620 chassis using the provided cable ties:

1.On each cable, replace the longer captive screw on the cable connector with the #4-40 Phillips pan-head screw shipped in a plastic bag with the unit. Do not insert the screw past the connector body until Step 4.

2.Plug the Telco 50-pin cable into the appropriate connector for the slot containing the card (labeled 2 or 3, connector 1 is for future use) on the rear of the 8620 chassis.

3.Thread the provided cable tie through the anchor mount on the end of the connector where the cable will lie. Tighten the cable tie around the connector and cut off any excess.

4.Secure the other end of the Telco 50-pin cable by tightening the Phillips pan-head screw (that you replaced in Step 1) on the right side of the connector.

5.Make sure the other end of the cable is connected to the appropriate POTS splitter shelf, MDF, or demarcation point.
