Unpack, Position, and Ground the Peripheral Unit
To unpack, position, and ground the node:
CAUTION: Power must not be applied to the Peripheral Unit until you have installed the
ground cable.
1. Unpack the peripheral node.
2. Check the contents against the packing list.
3. Visually inspect the node and attached equipment for damage. Repack and return any
damaged equipment.
4. Position the node.
5. Connect an external ground to the ground terminal on the rear panel of the peripheral
cabinet. Refer to the Safety Instructions for detailed grounding requirements. These in-
structions are packaged with each system.
Peripheral Unit Card Layout
Typically, a peripheral cabinet is shipped with the peripheral switch controller (PSC) card and
Fiber Interface Module (FIM) installed. If these cards were not shipped in the cabinet, install
them as Field Replaceable Units (FRUs). You must install and cable the FIM before you install
the peripheral switch controller card and power converter (see Peripheral Unit FRUs section).
The cards in the peripheral unit should be installed in the following configuration:
Slot Number Card Type
1 to 12 Peripheral Interface card
13, 14, 15 (combined) Power Converter
16 Peripheral Switch Controller (PSC)
17 Fiber Interface Module (FIM)
Note: If you are installing an expanded Peripheral Unit, or expanding an existing one,
the card layout will be different depending on if the cabinet is used as the master or slave
of the peripheral pair.
