Use the following procedure to route and connect 7360 ISAM FX-8 fiber cables to NT and LT
cards.
1 To route fiber cables to NT and LT cards, proceed as follows:
a If routing fiber cables using a fiber management guide, mount the fiber management
guide. See Procedure 66.
b If routing fiber cables without using a fiber management guide, continue to step 2.
2 Prepare fiber optic cables for the equipped NT and LT cards.
3 Label both ends of each cable with the following information, for future identification:
• card connection name
• Tx or Rx, depending on which port is used for the connection
4 Route the fiber cables from the source to the top of the rack.
5 If using a fiber management guide for a vertical installment of the 7360 ISAM FX-8 shelf,
route the fiber cables through the ring-guides and through the fiber management guides, and
toward the NT and LT cards. Otherwise, route the fiber cables, maintaining a proper bend
radius, toward the NT and LT cards:
a Route to the left for:
• NT card A
• LT cards in slots 01 to 08
b Route to the right for:
• NT card B
• LT cards in slots 09 to 16
