This section describes the cabling necessary to install the Media Card 32-port
trunk card.
The Media Card 32-port trunk card supports a single connector solution for
access to the TLAN and ELAN Ethernet Ports. This ITG Card Adapter
ELAN/TLAN subnet solution (L-adapter) replaces the ITG-Pentium 24-port
product which requires a single 'octopus' cable. The L-adapter can also be
used on the ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk card. Refer to "Patches and
advisements" on page 569
24-port trunk card.
The ELAN subnet supports 10BaseT operation. The TLAN subnet supports
10/100BaseT operation. To support the 100BaseT operation on Large
Systems, the TLAN interface requires specialized I/O panel mounting
connectors. These connectors replace the standard connectors provided on the
system.
Cables and connectors for the ELAN and TLAN interface include the
following:
• the NTCW84JA Large System I/O panel filter block
• the ITG Card Adapter ELAN/TLAN subnet, for use with both D-Chip
and non-D-Chip equipped cards. Standard shielded, CAT 5 LAN cables
(<100 meters) are recommended to attach the LAN ports to the local
network.
An ITG EMC shielding kit (NTVQ83) must be installed on the ELAN and
TLAN interface cables to meet regulatory requirements at the installation
site. As shown in Figure 40 on
ELAN and TLAN ethernet cables during installation. Cable ties are then
placed to retain the ferrites in the correct position. This applies to both Small
Systems and Large Systems.
