General Instructions
Network equipment (excluding fiber optic) and user equipment connect to the
Broadmore 1750 via cables routed to connectors on the back of each IOM. The physical
interface varies by type of IOM (see “Module Descriptions” on page
1-12 ). Adapter
cables are available for most serial interface SAMs (see “Cable Specifications” on
page
E-1 ).
1. Route the equipment cables to the chassis rear.
2. Install the plastic edge protector around both rear access square openings. Note
the chassis internal cable tray. Two bars are provided as anchor points for cable
ties. This will serve as cable strain relief.
3. Route the cables into the chassis via the square openings on either side of the
rear cable tray.
4. Connect the cables to the IOM connectors as labeled for each port and dress
out the cables. Use the tray and bars to secure the cable.
NOTE:
After completing the hardware installation, visually inspect all
modules and connectors. Replace the front and rear covers, if not already
in place.
