What to do next
• Install additional PIC.
•
Install the Interface line card
.
• If a card is not installed in the slot, install a blank filler card.
•
Connect the PIC ports using the UCH.8 connectors
Using UCH.8 Connectors on the RF Through PIC
The faceplate of the RF Through PIC card has one downstream port cluster and two upstream port clusters.
Three cable assemblies with UCH.8 connectors are used, one for each cluster, to connect the RF Through
PIC.
Connect the cable assemblies in the following order:
1.
Red cable assembly to the downstream port cluster.
2.
One blue cable assembly to upstream port cluster with the ports US0 to US7.
3.
Other blue cable assembly to upstream port cluster with the ports US8 to US15.
The following steps describe how to connect one UCH.8 connector. Repeat the procedure to connect all the
three UCH.8 connectors.
Before you begin
• Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the other end to the grounding lug
connected to the chassis.
•
.
•
Install the chassis-mounted cable management bracket
(if not already installed).
Required Tools and Equipment
• ESD-preventive wrist strap.
• 3/16" flat-blade torque screwdriver.
• Cable Bundle containing the following cable assemblies:
• One cable assembly with red colored cables connected to one UCH.8 connector.
• Two cable assemblies with blue colored cables connected to one UCH.8 connector each.
Step 1
Align the small and large guide pins in the UCH.8 connector with the small and large guide pin holes on the PIC.
