backplane connection point.
Step 3 Gently push the connector down until the notch backplane connector slides into the slot on the cable
connector.
Step 4 Turn the cable connector clockwise to lock it into place.
Step 5 Tie wrap or lace the cables to the EIA according to Telcordia standards (GR-1275-CORE) or local site
practice.
