Installing and Connecting Cabling
After installing the Ethernet switch and PSUs you are ready to install Cable Sets.
Cable Sets
Cable Sets are bundles of Ethernet cables that connect the Ethernet switch(es) to each chassis. Cables are labeled (1–5) to identify
and organize cables and connections. Cable Sets are provided in Small, Medium, and Large (lengths), in appropriate combinations
based on your frame configuration.
Large Long enough to span up to three chassis.
Medium Long enough to reach to the adjacent chassis.
Small Short cables to supply Ethernet to the chassis in which the Ethernet switch is installed.
Single An individual Ethernet cable (purple) is provided to connect the switch to your workstation, or to your network.
Installing Cable Sets
To install Cable Sets:
1 Unpack and identify all Cable Set(s) included with your system. Cable Sets are color coded according to their length (Small, Me-
dium, or Large).
2 Standing behind the chassis containing the Ethernet switch, connect cables 1–5 of the first Cable Set to ports on the Ethernet
switch by feeding them through the slot in the Back Tie Plate as shown in Figure 17. In addition:
• The master section chassis only requires three Ethernet connections, so only connect three cables to that chassis.
• If assembling a Reduced Depth Frame (Frame Chassis Small), only four Ethernet cable connections are required per chassis.
You can leave this fifth (unused) Ethernet cable disconnected from the switch and chassis.
Use the switch ports that make the most sense for distance, identification or personal preference. We suggest starting on the bot-
tom row to make it easier to connect other Cable Sets later, but your specific configuration will determine the best arrangement.
For systems that require two Ethernet switches, an additional single cable is provided to connect the two switches to each other.
