170 Installing fiber expansion
CAUTION
Service Interruption
Incorrectly connected fiber-optic cables may cause the following
problems:
• a series of repetitive fault-indicating messages
•
a complete failure of the expansion cabinet
If fault-indicating messages appear, check the fiber-optic cable
connections.
Since messages are stored in a buffer, they may continue to
be displayed until the buffer is empty. After checking the cable
connections, wait a couple of minutes for the messages to stop.
Procedure 23
Installing the A0632902 10m plastic fiber-optic cable
Step Action
1
Put on the antistatic wrist strap.
2
Place the SSC card on a clean, flat, ESD-dissipated surface.
3
Remove the protective plugs from the connectors on the Fiber
Expansion daughterboard.
4
Connect the fiber-optic cable to the Fiber Expansion daughterboard,
making sure that the "V"-shaped groove on the cable connector is
facing outward and that the connector is fully seated. See Figure 78
"Plastic fiber cable connection on dual-port daughterboard" (page
171).
The mark (if equipped) on the sides of the cable connector should
not be visible when properly connected. Refer to Figure 78 "Plastic
fiber cable connection on dual-port daughterboard" (page 171).
5
Route the fiber cable through the SSC cable router on the SSC card.
6
Insert the SSC card into slot 0 of the Main Cabinet or Chassis. Lock
card into faceplate latches.
7
Route the cables through the SSC Cable Routing Guide as shown in
Figure 79 "Fiber-optic cable connection" (page 172).
Note: Be sure to wrap the cable a minimum of one complete
loop around the Cable Routing Guide to allow for extra cable for
removing the SSC card later.
