Overview Use this section if you have not ordered the DTC 16xx or the DTC 72MX with the RJ45 19” Distribution Panel as a factory-racked product (product numbers J2062AZ or J2070AZ). Chapter 1 of the HP DTC Cabling and Racking Guide includes information about HP computer racks and describes how to rack the DTC 72MX and the DTC 16xx family, which includes the DTC 16TN, DTC 16iX and DTC 16MX.

HP System Racks The HP System Racks conform to the IEC and EIA standards for 19” (482.6 mm) racks. Any HP, or non-HP, equipment that conforms to these standards can be installed in one of these racks. The 1.1 meter and 1.6 meter system racks are measured in EIA (Electronic Industries Association) units.

Guidelines for Racking Systems The vertical mounting columns have a slot feature to help position and secure support rails. This makes installation of rails easier as they do not have to be held in position when they are bolted to a vertical column. It also ensures that rails can only be located in proper EIA unit increments.

Cables that should not be used Cables that should not be used Some terminals, such as the HP 2392A and older terminals, output a signal on pin 23 of the 25-pin DB25 connector. The MDP also outputs a signal on this pin. Using any of the cables listed below will connect these pins together, which may result in hardware damage to the pin 23 drivers on the terminal or the MDP.

Making your own cables This chapter includes advice which you may find useful when making your own cables to connect devices to ports on the Modem Distribution Panel, the Direct Distribution Panel, and the 24-port RJ45 Direct Distribution Panel. You will also find some background information concerning the RS-232, RS-422, and RS-423 standards.
A note on standards Guidelines for application The RS-422 and RS-423 standards do not specify maximum distances or maximum data rates for connecting cables. These standards do, however, include “Guidelines for application” which give conservative values for maximum cable length and data rates based upon the following cable type: •...
Page 77
A note on standards RS-423 The RS-423 standard (also known as CCITT V.10) has a maximum data transmission rate of 100 kBaud at distances up to 250 feet/80 meters. It can be used at a maximum distance of 4000 feet/1200 meters at data rates less than or equal to 5 kBaud.
A note on standards RS-422/RS-423 compatibility RS-422 and RS-423 are both compatible since they specify the same electrical characteristics for the receiver. However, when connecting devices with different baud rate and distance capabilities, the connection is limited to the baud rate and distance supported by the device with the slower/shorter distance specification.
RS-422 and RS-423 are intended for long-distance connections in datacommunications applications. These long distances make the use of prefabricated cables difficult and uneconomical. Consequently, there are presently no RS-422 or RS-423 datacommunication cables available from Hewlett-Packard. Instead, cables must be made using the advice provided in this document.
A large ground potential difference may cause permanent damage to a system or to peripherals. Whilst Hewlett-Packard equipment is protected against this kind of damage, no such protection can be one hundred percent effective.
DTC and standard cables DTC and standard cables The DTC 72MX and DTC 16xx family provide RS-232-D or RS-423 ports with RJ45, DB25 or Telco 50-pin connectors. The DTC units support the distances provided by the RS-232/RS-423 standards, given in the table below. Additionally, HP has tested, in favourable environmental conditions, the distances given in the final column of the table below.
Cabling Tips Cabling Tips You may find the advice in this section useful when making your own cables, planning a cabling scheme and making cable connections. Twisted pair cables When connecting twisted pair cables to cross-connect blocks, keep each pair twisted all the way up to the connecting pins of the cross-connect block.
