Connecting the Cables The I/O cables are attached and tied inside the cabinet. When the system is installed, these cables must be untied, routed, and connected to the cabinets where the other end of the cables terminate. Use the following guidelines and Figure 34 to route and connect cables. For more information on cable routing, see "Routing the I/O Cables" (page 38). • Each cabinet is identified with a unique color. The cabinet color label is located at the top of the cabinet. • The colored label closest to the cable connector corresponds to the color of the cabinet to which it is attached. • The colored label farther away from the cable connector corresponds to the color of the cabinet where the other end of the cable is attached. In Figure 34, the dotted lines show where the label is located and where the cable terminates. • Each cable is also labeled with a unique number. This number label is applied on both ends of the cable and near the port where the cable is to be connected. In Figure 34, the cable number labels are indicated by circled numbers, and the cabinet port numbers are indicated with boxed numbers. Figure 34 Cable Labeling Routing the I/O Cables Routing the cables is a significant task in the installation process. Efficient cable routing is important not only for the initial installation, but also to aid in future service calls. The most efficient use of space is to route cables so that they are not crossed or tangled. Figure 35 (page 39) illustrates efficient I/O cable routing. 38 Installing the System

Connecting the Cables
The I/O cables are attached and tied inside the cabinet. When the system is installed, these cables
must be untied, routed, and connected to the cabinets where the other end of the cables terminate.
Use the following guidelines and
Figure 34
to route and connect cables. For more information on
cable routing, see
“Routing the I/O Cables” (page 38)
.
•
Each cabinet is identified with a unique color. The cabinet color label is located at the top of
the cabinet.
•
The colored label
closest to the cable connector
corresponds to the color of the cabinet to
which it is attached.
•
The colored label farther away from the cable connector corresponds to the color of the cabinet
where the other end of the cable is attached. In
Figure 34
, the dotted lines show where the
label is located and where the cable terminates.
•
Each cable is also labeled with a unique number. This number label is applied on both ends
of the cable and near the port where the cable is to be connected. In
Figure 34
, the cable
number labels are indicated by circled numbers, and the cabinet port numbers are indicated
with boxed numbers.
