Installation guide

2. If the 7133 has the Advanced SSA Optical Extender (Pair) feature, an Advanced

SSA Optical Extender (Pair) 14 is provided. For multi-mode configurations, an

Advanced Multi-Mode Conditioner (Pair) 15 is also provided.

Note: In the remainder of this book, the term “optical extender” is generally used

for the Advanced SSA Optical Extender, and the term “multi-mode

conditioner” is generally used for the Advanced Multi-Mode Conditioner.

A wrap cable and adapter assembly is provided with each pair of optical extenders.

This assembly is used during diagnostic procedures. It consists of a fibre optic wrap

cable and a fibre optic wrap adapter. The complete assembly is contained in a

plastic bag. When not in use, the wrap cable and adapter assembly must be kept in

its plastic bag in a safe place that is as close to the installed optical extender as

possible.

Because the fibre optic cables that connect the 7133 to an SSA adapter, or to

another device, can be up to 10 kilometers (32800 feet) long, ensure that at least

one wrap cable and adapter assembly is available at each end of the fibre optic

cables.

3. Ensure that the using-system software is at the correct level for the 7133, and that

the correct level of microcode for the using-system SSA attachment hardware (for

example, an SSA adapter) and disk drive modules has been loaded. CD-ROMs and

instructions are supplied with the 7133 and with all SSA adapters.

For more information about the latest levels of SSA microcode for the using system,

SSA attachment, and SSA subsystem, see Web Support Pages in the “Additional

Information” appendix (in this book) for your using system.
