To replace the existing I/O cables:
1. Perform one of the following actions:
If the configuration includes an MCC1 or an SCC1 Media Gateway, continue with step 2.
●
If the configuration includes a G600 Media Gateway, you must remove the fan assembly
●
to access the cables. Loosen the thumb screws on the fan assembly and pull it straight
out (G600 Media Gateway fan assembly removal
assembly off until you install all the wires.
2. Note the orientation of the existing 10 cables. The existing I/O cables can be white and red
or multicolored. These cables are not twisted.
3. Remove the I/O cables that you want to replace from the backplane and the connector
panel slots.
4. Install the twisted pair I/O cables onto the backplane in the place of the cables you just
removed. Use the correct orientation
page 1078). Observe the white outline that is printed on the backplane for the location of
each connector.
5. View the cables from the "wiring" side of the twin connectors. That is, view the cables while
you plug the cables into the backplane. Connectors oriented correctly for plug-in look like
the cables in
The circled pin locations are "No-Connects." At the top there is an orange-black pair on the
right and a violet-brown pair on the left. Do not install wires in these locations.
If you are replacing I/O cables for all slot positions, plug all cables into the backplane. Then,
match the "D" connector on each cable to the carrier frame.
You must install the 50-position metal shell "D" connectors into the carrier frame. Also, from
the rear of the media gateway, look at the pins. Ensure that the longer side of the "D"
connector (pins 1 to 25) is toward the right .
6. Apply the 10/100 mbps label to the front of the carrier slot. Apply the label over the slot label
that corresponds to the slot where you installed the twisted pair I/O cable.
7. For the G600 Media Gateway, replace the fan unit if you are not adding any media
gateways. If you are adding more media gateways to the rack, leave the fan units off until
you install all the TDM cables.
