CAUTION

Ensure that all adjacent modules are seated and the
captive screws secured. Failure to do this may result in
difficulty installing other modules into the chassis.

Ensure that all unused module slots have a filler panel
installed to maintain EMI integrity.

Installing the Cables

Install appropriate cables for your network configuration. P880
Cajun switch cable types include:

Fiber cables with SC-type connectors

Straight-through Category 5 cables with male RJ-45
connectors (end station/NIC (network interface card) card
connections). All I/O ports are crossed over internally so you
can use straight-through cables to attach to end stations.

Crossover cables with male RJ-45 connectors (switch-to-
switch connections).

The types of cable for the ethernet console (out-of-band) are
different. Refer to Chapter 2, “Configuring the Cajun Switch (Layer
2 & Layer 3),” for more information.
