4 Cable network loops from the faceplate connector on the network card to
the I/O panels on the rear of the Core/Net or Network Module.
• Label both ends of an NT8D88AD cable with the loop number, then
connect one end of the cable to the network card faceplate
connector:
—J1 for Shelf1
—J2 for Shelf0
• Route the cable around the card cage to the I/O panel and mount the
cable connector in one of the cutouts in the panel.
The recommended order for connections is J16, J17, J37, J38, then,
with superloop adapter plates, J2, J6, J10, J22, J26, J31
Figure 112 on page 259 shows the network card faceplate connectors,
the I/O panel connectors, and the cables required.
5 Cable the backplane connectors (SL0, SL1, SL2, SL3) for the controller
card to the I/O panels on the rear of the IPE Module.
• Label both ends of an NT8D92 cable with the loop number, then
connect one end of the cable to the backplane connector.
• Mount the connector on the other end of the cable in one of the
cutouts in the I/O panels. The recommended order for connections is:
— SL0 to J2
— SL1 to J3
— SL2 to J4
— SL3 to J5
Figure 113 on page 260 shows the controller card backplane connectors
and the I/O panels for the IPE Module. Complete the network loop
connection (see Table 33 on page 254).
• Connect one end of an NT8D98 cable to the I/O panel connector for
the network card.
• Connect the other end of the cable to the I/O panel connector for the
associated controller card.
6 Seat and secure all connectors.
7 Set the Enb/Dis switch on each network card to Enb.
