Assembly Designators
Axcera has assigned assembly numbers, Ax designations such as A1, where x=1,2,3…etc,
to all assemblies, modules, and boards in the system. These designations are referenced
in the text of this manual and shown on the block diagram and interconnect drawings
provided in Appendix A.
The cables that connect between the boards within a drawer or assembly and that
connect between the drawers, racks and cabinets are labeled using markers. Figure 1 is
an example of a marked cable. There may be as few as two or as many as four Markers
on any one cable. These markers are read starting farthest from the connector. If there
are four Markers, the marker farthest from the connector is the system number such as
system 1 or translator 2. The next or the farthest Marker is the rack or cabinet “A”
number on an interconnect cable or the board “A” number when the cable is within a
drawer. The next number on an interconnect cable is the Drawer location or Board “A”
number. The marker closest to the connector is the jack or connector “J” number on an
interconnect cable or the jack or connector “J” number on the board when the cable is
within a drawer.
