Cabling for the Media Card 32-port trunk card
This section describes the cabling necessary to install the Media Card
32-port trunk card.
ELAN and TLAN network interfaces
The Media Card 32-port trunk card supports a single connector solution
for access to the TLAN and ELAN network interfaces. This ITG Card
ELAN/TLAN Adapter solution (L-adapter) replaces the ITG-Pentium
24-port product which requires a single ’octopus’ cable. The L-adapter can
also be used on the ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk card. Refer to
Appendix
"Patches and advisements" (page 429) for more information on cabling
the ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk card.
The ELAN network interface supports 10BaseT operation. The TLAN
network interface supports 10/100BaseT operation. To support the
100BaseT operation on Large Systems, the TLAN network interface
requires specialized I/O panel mounting connectors. These connectors
replace the standard connectors provided on the system.
Cables and connectors for the ELAN and TLAN network interface include
the following:
• the NTCW84JA Large System I/O panel filter block
• the network interface ITG Card ELAN/TLAN Adapter, for use with both
D-Chip and non-D-Chip equipped cards. Standard shielded, CAT 5
LAN cables (<100 meters) are recommended to attach the LAN ports
to the local network.
An ITG EMC shielding kit (NTVQ83) must be installed on the ELAN and
TLAN network interface cables to meet regulatory requirements at the
installation site. As shown in
Figure 40 "EMC kit deployment" (page 206)
on Figure 40 "EMC kit deployment" (page 206) , a ferrite must be placed on
both the ELAN and TLAN network interface cables during installation. Cable
ties are then placed to retain the ferrites in the correct position. This applies
to both Small Systems and Large Systems.
