7.
Arrange the grounding cable so that it does not block the hardware components
and it does not drape where people might trip over.
Connecting the Console Cable
The device provides an RS-232C asynchronous serial console (CON) port, through
which you can configure the appliance. The console cable is an 8-core shielded cable,
which has an RJ-45 connector that can be connected to the Console port of the
appliance and a DB-9 (female) connector that can be connected to the serial port of a
console terminal.
To connect the Console cable, take the following steps:
1.
Select a console terminal. You may choose an ordinary PC or a standard ASCII
terminal with an RS-232C serial port.
2.
Connect the console cable. Connect the RJ-45 end of the cable to the Console
port of the appliance, and then connect the DB-9 connector of the cable to the
console terminal.
The Auxiliary (AUX) port is used to configure the slave SCM. Connecting the AUX port
is similar to connecting the Console port.
Connecting the Ethernet/Optical Cable
IOM supports SFP ports and XFP ports. SFP port can accommodate SFP optical module
or copper SFP transceiver; when you use optical SFP module, you can use single-
mode or multi-mode optical cable to connect. The XFP port is also compatible with
single-mode or multi-mode cable.
All SFP and XFP optical modules use LC-type optical connector; therefore, you should
connect the optical modules using optical fiber ended with LC-type connector. All
optical transceivers are hot-swappable.
Connecting the Ethernet Copper Cable
Follow the guidelines below when connecting cables to the ports:
Be careful not to connect the Ethernet port to the wrong ports. Read the label
above the port carefully.
For electrical Ethernet connection, use crossover cable or straight-through cable.
