1. Determine the route of Input/Output (I/O) cables from the MDF to the I/O
connectors of the relevant peripheral cards. If required, measure the longest
distance from an I/O connector on the card cage to the corresponding cable punch
block (if such blocks are installed) on the MDF. See
Figure 3-7
to identify the I/O
connector location from right to left.
2. Fabricate nine or ten cables of the length determined above with a male 25 pair
connector on one end, for each I/O connector on the cards.
A 16-pair cable can facilitate the I/O connection. The remaining pins of the
connector are not used.
3. Carefully route the connector end of the first cable through the I/O cable slot at
the top of the rear panel of the cage. See
Figure 3-6
. For each installed card, insert
the cable connector firmly onto the Coral IPx 500 I/O connector and tighten the
screws. See
Figure 3-8
for the cage-MDF connection.
Each I/O cable must be fabricated such that it is long enough to reach its
designated card connection on the top section of the cage. Verify that each
cable is attached to the correct connection.
4. Mark each I/O cable near the connector on the card cage with the corresponding
I/O connector identification on the Coral IPx 500 system (1-8 and auxiliary in the
main cage; 1-10 in the expansion cage).
5. After the MDF connections to the I/O cards of the cage are completed, connect the
blocks to the MDF in accordance with the instructions provided by your MDF
manufacturer.
