bus connectors in the backplane receptacles.
Removing a Module or Blank
The handles are self-locking. To unlock, push up on the handles to disengage from
the lock notch. Then gently pull the handles out and slide the module out of the slot.
NOTE:
If removing, but not replacing a module, remember to replace with a module
blank. All slots must be either populated with a module or have blanks for
EMI and thermal integrity.
Connect Equipment to the Ports and Power On the System
1. Connect a Category 5 or 6 (Cat 5/6) Ethernet cable to one of the RJ-45
connectors on the switch. Connect the other end of the Cat 5/6 to the OOB LAN
workstation.
2. Connect the switch to IB-enabled hosts using 4X-to-4X IB or IB/Fiber Optic
cables.
NOTE:
Make sure all cables latch securely into the corresponding port connectors.
If the IB cable connector is not properly oriented to fit onto the port
receptacle (i.e., while attempting to insert the cable in the port), do not twist
the connector to achieve the correct orientation. Instead, reach back a few
feet on the cable, and twist the bulk cable to allow the connector to rotate to
the proper orientation. Doing this prevents all of the rotational forces from
acting right at the connector terminations:
CAUTION!
It is important to provide strain relief for the IB cable connector.
