Chapter 3. Installing the TS7650 Appliance

This chapter provides instructions for installing the populated TS7650 Appliance
AP1 frames, and making all required power and cable connections from the
Appliance components to the customer Ethernet network and host system, as well
as to an existing TSSC (if applicable).
Identifiers used in the cable diagrams distinguish individual components of the
AP1 servers. To identify ports and components on the 3958 AP1 server for
connections to the server, refer to Table 3 on page 15.
Attention: Be sure to complete the installation of theTS7650 Appliance before
installing any miscellaneous equipment specification (MES) features. The
installation instructions for an MES feature assume that you are adding the feature
to an installed TS7650 Appliance.
