Step
Procedure
1
Are 10/100BaseT electrical connector modules plugged into the main
backplane?
•
If yes, continue to the next procedure, Unprotected 10/100BaseTX
Cabling, Electrical Connector Module.
•
If no, continue to Step 2.

The Traverse shelf may have blank back covers in place over the 2 mm
connectors on main backplane. Remove the blank back covers from the
Traverse shelf as required for placement of ECMs.
Refer to
Precautions and Common Procedures
Chapter 2—“Removing and Replacing Back Covers” for detailed
instructions.
3
Line up a 10/100BaseT electrical connector module with two 2 mm
connectors on the main backplane.
Note:
The ECM is placed in the right-most connectors (as viewed from
the back of the shelf). Refer to Section 2—
, Chapter 5—“Ethernet (Electrical) Interface Cabling
