13 Do one of the following:
— If you are using A0632902 plastic fiber-optic cable to connect the
Primary Main chassis to the Expansion chassis, go to Step 14 on
page 36.
— If you are using glass fiber-optic cable to connect the Primary
Main chassis to the Expansion chassis, go to Step 15 on page 37.
The SSC card in the Primary Main Chassis must contain at least one
Fiber Expansion Daughterboard.
Each single-port Fiber Expansion Daughterboard (NTDK22AA,
NTDK24AB, and NTDK79AA) supports one Expansion chassis. Each
dual-port Fiber Expansion Daughterboard (NTDK84AA and
NTDK85AA) supports up to two Expansion chassis.
The fiber-optic interface product used in the Option 11C is considered
safe. However, as a precaution do not look directly at the optical port
or the end of the fiber-optic cable. Under some conditions (such as
during cable testing or under light magnification), looking directly at
the cable or port can expose the eye beyond the limits of Maximum
Permissible Exposure recommended in some jurisdications. Do not
remove protective caps or plugs until you are ready to connect the
cable.
14 Connect the A0632902 plastic fiber-optic cable to the single-port
or dual-port Fiber Expansion daughterboard. See Figure 7 on
page 37.
a Remove the protective plugs from the ports on the Fiber
Expansion Daughterboard.
b Insert the cable connectors firmly into the ports on the
daughterboard.
Make sure that the V-shaped groove on the cable connector faces
out and that the connector is inserted completely. When the
connector is inserted correctly, the black mark on the connector is
not visible.
