3.2.5. Installing the XLINK cable
The X-LINK cable XLINK-BHP-5 or XLINK-BHPS-5 should be installed last after all cabling is
completed in the rack. The X-LINK cable is keyed so that it can only be installed in a single direction.
The thumbscrews should be used to secure the cable to the rear plate.
"
Do not over tighten the screw. It is only intended for securing the cable and does not
need to be tightened all the way. Over tightening can cause damage to both the X-
LINK connector and the nut on the rear plate. Ensure that the thumbscrew is not
cross-threaded as this can also cause damage to the rear plate nut.
When connecting the X-LINK cable from the Xenon router the opposite end of the cable is to be
installed in the X-LINK1 port on the 7767VIPX-RP2 rear plate. If cabling the EQX 16RU router with
EQX-OP288-XLINK, the opposite end of the cable is wired into the XLINK1 port on the 7767VIPX-RP2
rear plate. If cabling the EQX-OP576-XLINK and using the additional X-LINK outputs for redundancy,
the first X-LINK output from X-LINK outputs 1 through 9 are to be installed in the XLINK 1 port of the
7767VIPX-RP2 rear plate, and the corresponding X-LINK output 10 through 18 is to be installed in the
XLINK2 port of the 7767VIPX-RP2 rear plate.
