Cabling a Superloop Network Card – multiple columns
If the system is configured as a single column“Basic cabling for single-row
network connections” on page 252.
Procedure 44
Basic cabling for multiple-row network connections
1 Refer to the work order and the cabling layout shipped with the system to
determine:
• Each loop number assigned
• The module and slot assignments of the NT8D04 Superloop Network
Card associated with each loop
• The location of NT8D37 IPE Modules that contain NT8D01 Controller
Cards associated with each loop
2 Set the Enb/Dis switch on the faceplate of each network card to Dis.
3 Install NT8D1107 Superloop Adapter Plates on universal I/O panels
(P0715058), if required. The superloop adapter plate reduces a QPC414
network loop cutout to the size for a superloop connection.
The recommended order for installing superloop adapter plates is over
I/O panel locations J2, J6, J10, J22, J26, J31.
• Position the adapter plate over the QPC414 cutout, and install the
screw and washer at the bottom of the plate.
• Position the cable connector on the adapter plate, and install one
screw and washer at the top and one screw and washer at the bottom
of the connector.
Figure 111 on page 258 shows mounting details for the superloop
adapter plate.
CAUTION
System Failure
Due to the possibility of EMI/RFI noise, do not route
cables from front to rear next to the power supply
unit.
