Installing the 16-Port Cabinet Assembly
If you installed an IPC-1600 card in Slot 8 of the host, you will have to connect the card to a
16-port cabinet assembly device that is shipped with the card. To do this, perform the following
steps:
1. Locate the two 80-conductor ribbon cables and the 16-port cabinet assembly, as shown in
Figure 2-11.
2. Carefully thread the ends of the ribbon cables marked P3 and P4 through the card slot
opening.
3. Connect the cable marked P3 for Ports 9 through 16 to header P3. Connect the cable
marked P4 for Ports 1 through 8 to header P4. The connectors are keyed for proper
alignment with the 80-pin headers on the card, as shown in Figure 2-12. Make sure that the
retaining clips are properly secured.
4. Carefully pass the excess ribbon cable through the slot opening until the IPC-1600 can be
plugged into expansion Slot 8.
