End of Procedure
Connecting the Core/Net backplanes
In Group 0 only, the Shelf 0 and Shelf 1 backplanes must be connected with
two NT8D99AD cables (Core/Net modules only).
Procedure 39
Connecting the Core/Net backplanes
1 Connect one NT8D99AD cable from the “E” port in Core/Net 0 to the “E”
port in Core/Net 1.
2 Connect a second NT8D99AD cable from the “D” port in Core/Net 0 to the
“D” port in Core/Net 1. See Figure 103 on page 244.
