The top section (see Figure 6-14 on page 6-13 , Figure 6-17 , and Figure 6-18 ) includes the
openings for the I/O cable connections (Champ TM and RJ-45), openings for the AC
power receptacle and DC power receptacle, and the cage ground terminal. The top
section includes the auxiliary connector (in the main cage, only) and the expansion
connector. All other connections (power and I/O) are made on the top panel of the
cards through the slots in the top section.
I/O Connectors
Every peripheral card slot includes an opening on the top of the cage to allow I/O
connectors to interface with the MDF. These connectors are routed from the free space
between the top section and the top cover, through openings at the top of the rear
panel. See
Figure 6-17 .
Figure 6-17 Top View of
Cage with I/O Connectors
The I/O connections for each peripheral card slot are provided directly from the top of
the card to the MDF via eight connectors (in the main cage) or ten connectors (in the
expansion cage). Each connector provides the I/O connections for one peripheral card.
The I/O connectors are either Champ or RJ-45:
„
Champ connectors include female, 25 pair AMP™ Champ™, or Amphenol
®
Microribbon
®
type connectors that appear on top of many peripheral cards (for
example, 8SLSipx, 16SFTipx, 8T-Cipx, etc.)
„
RJ-45 jacks are mounted at the top of many of the peripheral cards (for example,
the UDTipx, T1ipx, UGWipx, PRI-30ipx cards, etc.) Mating male RJ-45 connectors
should be industry standard.
