Step 5:
Clean the connectors at the end of the harness, jumper, or trunk and mate in the electronics
equipment as illustrated in Figure
26 per instructions provided w ith that equipment or according to
your installation plan.

5. Recordkeeping
Detailed and accurate recordkeeping enables users to logically “ map”
bre terminations w ithin the data center
from local equipment to remote equipment . It is recommended that users employ labelling guidelines outlined
in ANSI/ TIA-606 for mapping the netw ork. Guidelines below provide an analogous solution in accordance
w ith this standard for labelling to be used w ith the EDGE8™ solution. Additions in the suggested coding are
accounted for to identify housing/chassis trays and modules.
5.1 Hardw are
Labelling
•
Hardw are components come pre-labeled for identi
cation and promote a consistent labelling
schem e.
•
Users must provide their own label maker and media for the frame or cabinet and hardware.
•
Labelling is best supported w ith use of adhesive backed label makers w ith media up to 1.27 cm
(0.5-inch) in height.
•
M odule positions w ithin each chassis tray are identi
ed by alphabetical characters A through F
from left to right.
•
M odules or MTP
®
panels come assembled w ith adapters and silkscreened w ith Fiber and/ or Port
ID.
•
Housing/ chassis comes equipped w ith a label card that is easily removable from the inside of the
front door and requires no additional fastening to remain in place. This label may be written on,
but use of a label maker is better.
•
Label card supports adhesive-backed label media and printed labels may be easily adhered or
removed for moves, adds, and changes.
Hardw are labelling involves a
ve-step process that identi
es the local and remote site. Use the suggested code
in Figure
27 and the follow ing steps to map your location. User should print and record the remote location on
t he provided label card.
