2. To insert a cable, press the connector into the port receptacle until the connector is
firmly seated.
1. Support the weight of the cable before connecting the cable to the adapter
card. Do this by using a cable holder or tying the cable to the rack.
2. Determine the correct orientation of the connector to the card before
inserting the connector. Do not try and insert the connector upside down. This
may damage the adapter card.
3. Insert the connector into the adapter card. Be careful to insert the connector
straight into the cage. Do not apply any torque, up or down, to the connector
cage in the adapter card.
4. Make sure that the connector locks in place.
3. After inserting a cable into a port, the Yellow or Green LED0 indicator will light when
the physical connection is established (that is, when the unit is powered on and a
cable is plugged into the port with the other end of the connector plugged into a
functioning port). See Adapter Card LED Operations.
4. After plugging in a cable, lock the connector using the latching mechanism
particular to the cable vendor. When a logical connection is made, Green LED1 will
light. When data is being transferred, Green LED1 will blink.
Warning
When installing cables make sure that the latches engage.
Important
Always install and remove cables by pushing or pulling the
cable and connector in a straight line with the card.
