Install the LPU to PSU drop cable
Use this procedure to terminate the bottom LPU to PSU drop cable with RJ45 connectors at both ends, and

Warning
The metal screen of the drop cable is very sharp and may cause personal injury.
ALWAYS wear cut-resistant gloves (check the label to ensure they are cut resistant).
ALWAYS wear protective eyewear. ALWAYS use a rotary blade tool to strip the cable,
not a bladed knife.
Caution
Check that the crimp tool matches the RJ45 connector, otherwise the cable or
connector may be damaged.
