Connect the fiber cable to the node

The fiber optic cable connects the FIM in the Controller to
the FIM in the Peripheral Unit.
1. Review the guidelines for handling fiber optic cable
(see Appendix E on page 253).
2. Route the fiber optic cable through the cable port at
the rear of the peripheral cabinet into the cabinet.
Extend the fiber cable approximately 30 cm (1 ft)
beyond the front of the cabinet.
3. Install a short piece of nylon spiral wrap over the
cable at the point where the cable exits the rear of the
cabinet.
4. Close the sliding cable port door. Ensure that the
door closes on the nylon spiral-wrapped section of
fiber cable.
5. Remove the plastic dust caps from the fiber optic
cable and the connector ferrules on the FIM
faceplate.
6. Plug the fiber connectors into the connectors on the
FIM faceplate. The fiber connectors have a small key
that must be aligned with a slot on the FIM
connectors. Lock each connector into position by
pushing the metal collar forward and clipping it onto
the FIM connector.
