TX and RX plugs are identically shaped, so it is easy to incorrectly connect a plug to
the wrong port.

Installing the Copper Link Kit

Note – The minimum bend radius for the copper link cable is 1.85 in./47 mm.
1. Use an antistatic strap for this procedure.
2. Install a link card in the host server.
See the service manual for your host server for instructions for installing a PCI
card in a host slot.
Note – Low profile brackets that are included in some copper link kits are not used
for SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers.
3. If a link card is not already installed in the I/O boat, install it now.
Slot 0 is used for the link card. It is the leftmost slot in the boat. For details about
card removal and replacement, see
