Cabling for ESCON
The ESCON interface card used by the CNA-8000 uses a duplex ESCON interface cable.
The ESCON interface card ships with a plastic plug inserted into the ESCON interface,
for purposes of keeping dust from the optical leads and to help protect the connector
during shipment. The plastic plug should be left in place until you are ready to attach the
ESCON cable. When ready, squeeze the sides of the plastic plug to disengage it and
allow it to be removed, as diagrammed below. (You may want to set this plug aside in a
safe place for future use.) Insert the ESCON cable into the cavity vacated by the plastic
plug, and push in until you hear/feel it click into place. Be careful when handling ESCON
cables, and do not bend the cables any more than necessary. The cables are fiber optics,
and bending them too tightly will cause them to break internally, and make them useless.
