3.20 Connecting Fiber-Optic Cable to the 9710 Automated
Cartridge Subsystem BEB (3216 Only)
After routing the AC power cords, the fiber-optic cable can be
connected to the Patch Panel BEB. (The fiber-optic cable is
installed by Compaq Site Services or a certified cable installer.)
At the Patch Panel end of the cable assembly, install the fiber-optic
connector as follows:
CAUTION
Fiber-optic cables have a central core of fragile glass fibers. To
prevent breakage, avoid bending the cables sharply and do not
handle them roughly.
1. Remove the filler plug from the fiber-optic connector receptacle
on the top of the BEB enclosure. The filler plug is for
protection during shipping.
2. Remove the dust cover from the fiber-optic connector on the
cable.
3. Hold the connector so that the key way meets the key in the
BEB enclosure receptacle. See Figure 3-16.
4. Insert the connector into the receptacle until both cantilever
arms click into the transceiver device mounted on the enclosure.
5. Route the fiber-optic cable into the upper and lower cable
clamps on the module sidewall and fastens the clamps. Route
the cable into the “Cable Access” channel at the midpoint of the
Patch Panel.
