IBM
Cabling System:
Ensure the cable from the IBM Cabling System outlet to the work station
is
part 6111020 (impedance
matching).
If
the Cable Thru feature
is
present, ensure the cable from the IBM Cabling System outlet to the work
station
is
part 6111025 (direct connect). Set the terminator switch to the not terminated position and
connect the twinaxial terminator (part 6111028) to port 2 on the work station.
If
you want to test a cable that is not attached to a work station, terminate the end
of
the cable with a
75-ohm resistor assembly as follows:
Phase B
~
$ 75 Ohms
Phase
A
~
75
Ohms
$
Shield

Disconnect the cable to be checked from the system. Connect the alligator clips
II
on the probe to the
end
of
the cable for each
of
the following combinations:
a.
Ground lead to shield, signal lead to phase A.
b.
Ground lead to shield, signal lead to phase
B.
c.
Ground lead to phase
A,
signal lead to phase
B.
Look
at
the oscilloscope signal to determine
if
a cable failure is present. Use the tables and the sample
oscilloscope signals on the following pages to find any problems that are present. The sample
oscilloscope signals shown are for twinaxial cable. IBM Cabling System oscilloscope signals are similar.
