3.6.1. Bending Steps
1. Connect the RJ45 connector of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the device,
and the other end to a PC.
2. Insert the single-mode or multi-mode fiber into the corresponding interface according
to the panel identification, and distinguish the transmitting and receiving ends of the
fiber-optic cable.
3. Insert the twisted pair cable with RJ45 connector into the corresponding interface
according to the panel identification, and distinguish the crossover cable and the
straight cable.
3.7. Cable Bundling
Notes
• The power cords and other cables should be bundled in a visually pleasing way.
• When you bundle fibers, make sure that the fibers at the connectors have natural bends
or bends of large radius.
• Do not bundle fibers and twisted pairs too tightly, as this may press hard the fibers and
affect their useful life and transmission performance.
3.7.1. Bundling Steps
1. Bind the drooping part of the fiber-optic cables and twisted pairs of each board, and
lead them to both sides of the chassis for convenience.
2. On the both sides of the chassis, fasten the fibers and twisted pairs to the cable
management ring or cabling chute.
3. For the power cords, you should bundle them closely along the bottom of the chassis,
in a straight line wherever possible.
3.8. Verifying Installation
Note:
Please turn off the power to avoid personal injury and damage to components caused by incorrect
connection.
• Verify that the ground wire is connected.
• Verify that the cables and power input cables are properly connected.
• Verify that interface cables are routed indoors. If not, check whether the power supply
and interfaces are protected from lightning strikes.
• Maintain a minimum clearance of 100 mm (3.94 in.) around the device for air circulation.
