Installing a CX200-Series DPE2
Connecting the CX200-Series DPE2 to the External Environment
When working with optical cables, observe the following
precautions:
◆
Keep the covers on all optical cables and optical connectors until
you are ready to insert the cables. The covers protect the cables
and connectors, and prevent foreign particles, such as dust, from
entering and affecting the connection.
◆
Do not leave any unused (dangling) cables connected to an SP
port.
◆
Avoid tight bends, particularly those 90º or more.
◆
Do not use optical cables to support weight, including long cable
runs without support.
◆
Do not pull long runs of cable. It is best to lay the cable in place or
pull only a few feet at a time.
◆
Run the cables so that they are not stepped on or rolled over by
anything.
For each SP connection to the external environment, attach an optical
cable from the front-end (FE) connector to the external environment.
Follow the steps below to cable and connect the SPs.
1. Remove the protective covers from optical connector FE A and an
optical cable, as shown in Figure 2-8.
2. Plug the cable into the FE A connector on the SP. See Figure 2-8.
Do not use the FE B host connector, except for a direct connection to a
host bus adapter on a dual-node cluster.
Never connect both FE A and FE B to a switch.
