3.
Plug the female DB-9 adapter end of the cable into the device's serial port.
CAUTION:
You must use shielded cables for the following ports: console,
management, auxiliary, USB, and clocking ports.
Connect the Line Card Cables
1.
Have ready a length of the type of cable used by the MPCs or MICs. For cable
specifications, see the
MX Series Interface Module Reference
2.
If the cable connector port is covered by a rubber safety plug, remove the plug.
WARNING:
Do not look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the
ends of fiber-optic cable. Fiber-optic transceivers and fiber-optic cable
connected to a transceiver emit laser light that can damage your eyes.
CAUTION:
Do not leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered except when
inserting or removing cable. The safety cap keeps the port clean and
prevents accidental exposure to laser light.
3.
Insert the cable connector into the cable connector port on the faceplate.
4.
Arrange the cable in the cable manager system to prevent it from dislodging or
developing stress points. Secure the cable so that it is not supporting its own weight
as it hangs to the floor. Place excess cable out of the way in a neatly coiled loop in
the cable manager system. Placing fasteners on the loop helps to maintain its shape.
CAUTION:
Avoid bending fiber-optic cable beyond its minimum bend
radius. An arc smaller than a few inches in diameter can damage the cable
and cause problems that are difficult to diagnose.
CAUTION:
Do not let fiber-optic cable hang free from the connector. Do
not allow fastened loops of cable to dangle, which stresses the cable at
the fastening point.
