■

Ensure that all adjacent modules are seated and the
captive screws secured. Failure to do this may result in
difficulty installing other modules into the chassis.

■

Ensure that all unused module slots have a filler panel
installed to maintain EMI integrity.

Installing the Cables

Install appropriate cables for your network configuration. P880
Cajun switch cable types include:

■

Fiber cables with SC-type connectors

■

Straight-through Category 5 cables with male RJ-45
connectors (end station/NIC (network interface card) card
connections). All I/O ports are crossed over internally so you
can use straight-through cables to attach to end stations.

■

Crossover cables with male RJ-45 connectors (switch-to-
switch connections).

The types of cable for the ethernet console (out-of-band) are
different. Refer to Chapter 2, “Configuring the Cajun Switch (Layer
2 & Layer 3),” for more information.
