Cabling for FICON
The FICON interface cards used by the VI-5990 may have 1 or 2 individual FICON
interfaces built in. Up to two FICON cards may be installed. Each FICON interface
includes a transceiver mounted on the interface card. FICON transceivers come in short
wave and long wave versions. Correct transceivers for the customer’s environment
should have been shipped with the platform. However if the correct transceivers are not
installed, it is possible to swap transceivers in the field. Please refer to the VI-5990 Users
Guide and Maintenance Manual for information regarding this.
The FICON interface card ships with a plastic or rubber plug inserted into each FICON
interface, for purposes of keeping dust from the optical leads and to help protect the
connector during shipment. The plug(s) should be left in place until you are ready to
attach the FICON cable(s). When ready, remove each plug and set aside in a safe place
for future use. Insert the FICON cable into the cavity vacated by the plastic plug, and
push in until you hear/feel it click into place. Be careful when handling FICON cables,
and do not bend the cables any more than necessary. The cables are fiber optics, and
bending them too tightly will cause them to break internally, and make them useless.
