Procedure
Step 1
Check the new network cable model.
Step 2
Number the new network cable.
l
The new network cable must have the same number as the one to be replaced.
l
Use the same type of label for network cables. Record the name and number of the local
device to be connected on one side of the network cable, and those of the peer device on
the other side. Attach a label to the position 2 cm (0.79 in.) away from the end of a
network cable.
Step 3
Route the new network cable.
Route the new network cable in the same way (underfloor or overhead) as the network cable
to be replaced. Note the following points:
l
Underfloor cabling is recommended because it is tidy and easy to route. Route cables in
the cabinet based on the installation requirements. You are advised to arrange new cables
in the same way as existing cables. Ensure that cables are routed neatly and undamaged.
l
Separate network cables from power cables for routing.
l
Bend a network cable with the bending radius of no less than 4 cm (1.57 in.) to prevent
damage to core wires. Check that the cable insulation layer is intact. Ensure that cables
are routed for easy maintenance and capacity expansion.
l
Network cables must be bound using cable ties to ensure proper routing. Check that
network cables are bound together neatly and properly, are routed straightly and close to
each other. Cable ties must be installed at an even spacing and fastened properly.
Step 4
Remove the network cable to be replaced.
Remove the network cable from the flexible NIC or board in a cabinet.
Step 5
Connect the new network cable.
Note the following:
l
Connect the new network cable to the same port as the removed one.
l
Install the network cable in the network port securely.
