pull the tray away from the rack.
Step 2 Complete the DLP-G430 Installing Fiber-Optic Cables from the 40-MUX-C and 40-DMX-C Cards to the
40-Channel Patch Panel Tray, on page 51.
Step 3 Complete the DLP-G431 Installing Fiber-Optic Cables from the 40-WXC-C, or 40-SMR-C Cards to a mesh
Patch Panel Tray.
Step 4 Close the patch panel tray:
• 40-channel patch panel tray: Push the tray back toward the rack until it locks into place.
• Mesh patch panel tray: Raise the plunger located on the right of the TEST ACCESS Tx port and push

DLP-G430 Installing Fiber-Optic Cables from the 40-MUX-C and 40-DMX-C
Cards to the 40-Channel Patch Panel Tray
This task describes how to route fiber-optic cables
from 40-MUX-C and 40-DMX-C cards in mesh node
to the 40-channel (80-port) patch panel tray
(15454-PP-80). In a mesh node, one 40-channel patch
panel tray is required for each direction. The Side A
40-MUX-C and 40-DMX-C cards will connect to the
Side A 40-channel patch panel. The Side B
40-MUX-C and 40-DMX-C cards will connect to the
Side B 40-channel patch panel, and so forth, up to a
maximum of an eight-degree mesh node (Sides A
through H).
