Install and cable IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) cards 191
The ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk card requires 24-pair tip and ring I/O cabling.
NT8D37AA IPE modules have 24-pair tip and ring I/O cabling for card slots
0, 4, 8, and 12 only. Insert the left slot of the IP trunk card in NT8D37AA slots
0, 4, 8 or 12 only. NT8D37BA or later IPE modules have no such restriction.
When multiple IP trunk cards are installed, distribute them between available
IPE shelves. This prevents total loss of IP trunking, in the case of localized
shelf failure.
CAUTION
CAUTION WITH ESDS DEVICES
Wear an electrostatic discharge strap when handling IP trunk
cards. As an additional safety measure, handle all cards only
by the edges and, when possible, with the loosened packaging
material still around the component.
CAUTION
Equipment Damage
Never install an IP trunk card in an IPE shelf that has been wired
for a Central Office Trunk (COT) card. Before inserting the card
into the slot, disconnect the cable connecting this card to the Main
Distribution Frame (MDF). COT cards can receive ringing voltage,
which, when applied to an IP trunk card, can damage the card.
CAUTION
Equipment Damage
Do not overtighten screws. They can break.
