Reconnecting RP Cables

You must reconnect any cables that were disconnected from the RP console port, auxiliary port, or either
of the Ethernet ports, RJ-45 or MII.

Reconnecting Alarm Cards Cables

If you disconnected a cable from the external alarm port on either or both of the alarm cards, you must
reconnect those cables now.
To comply with the intrabuilding lightning surge requirements of GR-1089-CORE, Issue II, Revision 01,
Note
February 1999, you must use a shielded cable when connecting to the external alarm port on the alarm
card. The cable must consist of shielded cable terminated by shielded connectors on both ends, with the
cable shield material tied to both connectors.

Reconnecting Line Card Network Interface Cables

To reconnect network interface cables to a line card, see
Step 1 Attach an ESD-preventive wrist strap to your wrist and connect the leash to the chassis or to another
grounded, bare metal surface. (See
Step 2 Check your notes on the slot assignment and network interface cable information that you wrote down
before removing the line card.
Step 3 Orient the line card cable-management bracket so that the top of the bracket (the left end, where the
cables exit to the chassis cable-management bracket) is near the top (left end) of the line card faceplate.
Step 4 Align the two captive screws in the bracket with the threaded inserts near the ejector levers on the ends
of the line card faceplate.
Insert and tighten the two captive screws with your fingers, and then tighten the screw with a 3/16-inch
Step 5
flat-blade screwdriver.
Proceeding from the rightmost port to the leftmost port (on line cards with multiple ports only), identify
Step 6
the network interface cable for the line card port and insert the cable connector into the line card port.
Repeat
Step 7
Note Carefully adjust the interface cables in the cable-management bracket to prevent any kinks or sharp
bends in the interface cable. Allow adequate strain relief in the interface cable. Kinks and sharp bends
can destroy or degrade the ability of the optical fiber to propagate the signal-encoded beam of light
accurately from one end of the cable to the other. Also, allow adequate strain relief in the interface cable.
