Cabling Octal 10/100 Ethernet SpectraFlow Modules
The system supports a CableOnce (blind-mate) setup for Octal
10/100BASE-TX modules. Connection to the 10/100 Ethernet network is
achieved through RJ-21 Champ connectors fixed on the rear chassis panel
for slots 1 through 11. Because you cable the slot and not the module itself,
you can remove and replace a 10/100 Ethernet module in the selected slot
without having to recable it.
Slot 12 does not support 10/100 Ethernet modules.
To cable a 10/100 Ethernet module slot to a Cat 5 Ethernet patch panel.
follow this procedure:
1. Locate the slot that you have installed, or want to install, the 10/100
Ethernet module. Then locate the RJ-21 port for the selected slot on the
back of the chassis. The RJ-21 ports located on the back of the chassis are
numbered right-to-left, from J1–J11, as shown in Figure 5-7.
2. If you haven’t already done so, unscrew and remove the RJ-21 metal dust
cover, as shown in Figure 5-7.
3. Insert the male RJ-21 connector on the Cat 5 patch cable into the RJ-21
port for the selected slot, as shown in Figure 5-7.
4. Tighten the retaining screws on the connector to secure the cable to the
chassis.
