Vanguard 7300 Installation 3-31

Cabling Procedures

Cable the

IBM750FX CPU

Use these steps to cable the IBM750FX CPU card front panel:

1) Attach a standard shielded Ethernet cable with an

RJ45 plug connector to the

RJ45 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet port.

2) If an Ethernet

PCI PMC is installed, attach standard shielded Ethernet cables to

the RJ45 socket connectors.

3) Cable the operator console to the CPU card’s

RJ45 connector according to the

procedure in the next section.

Note

There are no connectors to be cabled at the rear of the CPU card’s chassis slot 1.

Cabling the

Operator Console

There is a RJ45 connector on the front of the CPU card for connecting an operator

console to the Vanguard 7300. An operator console can be an asynchronous VT100

terminal (or a PC with asynchronous VT100 terminal emulation capability.)

The operator console is needed initially for configuring software and running

iagnostic programs. See Figure 3-23 for the location of the RJ45 CTP port.

Use these steps to cable the operator co

nsole:

1) Attach an RJ45 cable to the CTP po

rt, COM, on the IBM750FX CPU card.

2) Connect the other end to the operator console VT100 terminal or PC.

Note

The RJ45 CTP port appears as a DTE device and has the same pinout as the

standard PC COM port. For cable and port pinouts, refer to

Appendix B,

Vanguard 7300 Cable Connectors and Pinouts.
