For a ROADM node, two patch panels will be used, one for the Side A and one for Side B. The Side B
40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE card will connect to the Side B patch panel. The Side A 40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE will
connect to the Side A patch panel. The MPO cables in the patch panel are preinstalled and routed out of the
left side of the patch panel tray.

Procedure
Step 1 Choose either the Side A or Side B side of the shelf to cable the 40-WSS-C/40-WSS-CE and
40-DMX-C/40-DMX-CE cards.
If you are cabling cards on Side B of the shelf, you must first perform the DLP-G427 Rerouting
Fiber-Optic Cables in the 40-Channel Patch Panel Tray, on page 43 to route the MPO cables out
of the right side of the patch panel tray, or route the cables through a fiber storage panel.
