Cable Requirements
For I/Port installations, you need eight CAT5 cables per chassis to connect the blades
to your network switch. You will not need to connect any cables to the C/Port
connections. With I/Ports, the cables going to the desktop are connected directly to
your network switch. Figure 2 provides schematics of the cabling required to connect
your chassis to I/Ports and your Ethernet network.
Unpacking the I/Port
When unpacking the I/Port, you will find one of each of the following items:
