Procedure 45
Cabling an IPE Module (NT8D37) or Media Gateway
1 Select an appropriate number of NE-A25B (or equivalent) cables long
enough to run from the I/O panels on the rear of the module or backplanes
of the Media Gateway or Expander, to the MDF.
Figure 115 on page 265 shows the I/O panels on the NT8D37 IPE
Module.
2 To both ends of each cable, attach a tag that shows the module or chassis
number and the I/O or backplane connector designation.
3 Connect each cable to the appropriate connector on the I/O panel or
backplane, and run the cables to the MDF.
4 Terminate each cable on the cross-connect block designated with the
appropriate module or chassis number.
Note: For information on the MDF layout see “Planning and designating
a Main Distribution Frame” on page 133.
5 Make sure all cables are neatly run, properly seated, and secured with
cable ties.
