Cabling the Options 21Ð81 IPE Module to external
equipment
The following procedure to cable an Options 21Ð81 IPE Module to external
equipment is only one of a series of procedures to install an IPE Module.
The series is shown in Table 11 in Chapter 5, ÒHardware installation
overview.Ó Ensure that you have completed steps 1 through 4 in Table 11
before you start the following procedure.
After installing the IPE Module in the IPE shelf, connect the cables to
external equipment.
Figure 55 shows the cabling from the Options 21Ð81 IPE Module to
external equipment. The NT1R03AA and NT1R03BA octopus cables
connect to the IPE shelf I/O panels (shown in Figure 55). Octopus cable
ports (called IPE Module ports) connect to external equipment. The
NT1R03D extension cable attached to the IPE Module ports can provide
additional length if needed.
IPE Module connections are made to the IPE shelf I/O panels. Figure 56
illustrates the I/O panels.
For pinouts for the NT1R03AA, NT1R03BA, and NT1R03D cables, refer to
ÒExternal I/O cable pinoutsÓ in this chapter.
