Introduction
This chapter provides instructions for cabling the Cisco SCE8000 GBE line ports for single and
cascaded topologies. In a cascade topology, this includes the cascade ports as well as the line ports.
The GBE line ports are located on the SPA modules, which are installed in the SCE8000-SIP module in
slot #3 of the Cisco SCE8000 GBE chassis.
Note When installing a cascaded system, it is extremely important to follow the sequence of procedures
outlined in the section Cascaded Systems, page 6-13.
Note When installing an External Optical Bypass module, the Cisco SCE8000 GBE line ports are connected
to the module. See Cabling the Line Interface Ports: Using the External Optical Bypass Module,
page 6-9 for complete instructions.
