Chapter 2 Install Cards and Fiber-Optic Cable
NTP-A245 Route Fiber-Optic Cables
NTP-A245 Route Fiber-Optic Cables
Step 1 Open the fold-down front door on the cable-management tray.
Step 2 Route the fiber cable on the card faceplate through the fiber clip on the faceplate, if provided. Fiber clips
are factory-attached to the faceplate of OC-N cards.
GBICs do not have fiber clips; therefore, if you are routing fiber from an E1000-2-G, E1000-2,
G1000-2-G, G10002, or FC_MR-4 card, skip to Step 3.
Step 3 Route the fiber cables into the cable-management tray.
Step 4 Route the fiber cables out either side of the cable-management tray through the cutouts on each side of
the shelf assembly. Use the reversible fiber guides to route cables out the desired side.
Step 5 Close the fold-down front door when all fiber cables in the front compartment are properly routed.
Stop. You have completed this procedure.
