Cabling the System

This chapter gives instructions for connecting cables to the cards. It is divided into the following sections:


Connecting Cables to the Distributed Management Cards

The Netra CT 820 server is available only as a rear-access server, so most of the cabling for the distributed management card will be to the rear transition card at the rear of the server. The only exception would be the console port on the distributed management card at the front of the server. You can administer the Netra CT 820 server either from the front of the server, through the console port on the distributed management card, or from the rear of the server, through one of the two console ports on the rear transition card.



caution icon

Caution - Do not attempt to administer the Netra CT 820 server through the console ports on both the distributed management card and the rear transition card at the same time. No mechanism is provided to disable simultaneous input from the front and rear cards, so attempts to input data from both ports will place the boards in an unknown state.





Note - Make sure you connect the alarm ports for both distributed management cards to the central office alarming system. The alarm ports on the active and stand-by cards will not be active at the same time. During a distributed management card failover, the failed card will no longer connect to the alarming system, and the newly active card will provide the alarm connection. If a failover occurs, your application must also reload the alarm severity profile on the newly active distributed management card. Refer to the Netra CT 820 Server Software Developer's Guide (817-2648) for more information.

Ethernet Ports 1A and 1B

The Ethernet ports 1A and 1B on the rear transition module for the distributed management card use standard RJ-45 connectors. They are both 10 Mbit/sec Ethernet ports.



Note - The external Ethernet interface on the distributed management card and the external Ethernet interface on the switching fabric board must be connected to different subnets. If they are configured on the same subnet, arp messages will be displayed on the distributed management card console.

Connecting Cables to the Switching Fabric Boards



Note - If you want the Ethernet signals to be routed to the rear transition card for the switching fabric board, verify that the SW503 DIP switch on the Netra CP2300 board is set correctly. See Ethernet Networking on the Netra CP2300 Board for more information before proceeding with these instructions.





Note - The external Ethernet interface on the distributed management card and the external Ethernet interface on the switching fabric board must be connected to different subnets. If they are configured on the same subnet, arp messages will be displayed on the distributed management card console.



The Netra CT 820 server is available only as a rear-access server, so all of the cabling for the switching fabric board will be to the rear transition card at the rear of the server. There are no active components on the rear transition card, so you must have the accompanying switching fabric board installed in the same slot at the front of the server, even though no cables will be connected to that front card. The rear transition card is connected to the switching fabric board through the midplane through the RJ3 and RJ5 CompactPCI connectors. This card used to route Ethernet traffic through five 10/100-megabit switched Ethernet MDIX ports through shielded RJ-45 connectors (ports 20-23), two 1000-megabit Ethernet MDIX ports (ports 25-26), and an RJ-11 console port. FIGURE 4-7 shows the ports on the rear transition card for the switching fabric board.



Note - Port 24 on the rear transition card for the switching fabric board is reserved for future use.



  FIGURE 4-7 Ports on the Rear Transition Card for the Switching Fabric Board

Figure showing the ports on the rear transition card for the switching fabric board.[ D ]

Following are the pinouts for each of the ports on rear transition card for the switching fabric board:

10/100 Mbit/sec Ethernet Ports (20-23)

The Ethernet ports 20-23 on the rear transition module for the switching fabric board use standard RJ-45 connectors. They are all 10/100 Mbit/sec Ethernet ports.

  FIGURE 4-8 RJ-45 Ethernet Connector Diagram

Figure showing the Ethernet connector pinouts on the rear transition card for the switching fabric board.

1000 Mbit/sec Ethernet Ports (25 and 26)

The Ethernet ports 25 and 26 on the rear transition module for the switching fabric board use standard RJ-45 connectors. They are both 1000 Mbit/sec Ethernet ports.

  FIGURE 4-9 RJ-45 Ethernet Connector Diagram

Figure showing the Ethernet connector pinouts on the rear transition card for the switching fabric board.

Console Port

The console port on the rear transition module for the switching fabric board uses a standard RJ-11 connector. A special cable for connection with the console port is included in the Netra CT 820 server ship kit.

  FIGURE 4-10 RJ-11 Console Connector Diagram

Figure showing the console connector pinouts on the rear transition card for the switching fabric board.

The only signals used are transmit, receive, and ground. The pinouts for this port is shown in TABLE 4-6.

Connecting the Cables to the Netra CP2300 Boards

The Netra CT 820 server is available only as a rear-access server, so all of the cabling for the Netra CP2300 boards will be to the rear transition card at the rear of the server. However, in order to use the PCI Interface Modules (PIMs) on the rear transition card, you must also have the accompanying PCI mezzanine cards (PMCs) installed on the Netra CP2300 board.

PMCs on the Netra CP2300 Board

FIGURE 4-11 shows the location of the PMCs on the Netra CP2300 board, and PMC Connectors gives connector interface information for the PMC slots.

Note - The P1386.1 standard reserves the Jn3 64-pin connector for PCI 64-bit extensions, so it is not fitted on the Netra CP2300 board.



PMC B Connector Interfaces

The PMC B connector interface consists of three connectors: J6, J12, and J11. These connectors conform to the common mezzanine card (CMC) specification.

PIM A Connector Pin Assignments

The PIM A connector is switch selectable with the EIDE connector. On the back of the Netra CP2300 cPSB board, there are three DIP switches: SW501, SW502, and SW503. When all of the positions on SW501 and SW502, and positions 1 through 9 on SW503 are set to Off, the EIDE connector is disabled and all of the PIM A connector pins are available. When these switch positions are off, the EIDE connector is active and PIM A J5 connector I/0 pins 1 to 29 (signals PMC_A_IO_1 through PMC_A_IO_29) are disabled and must be disconnected.

Refer to the Netra CP2300 cPSB Board Installation and Technical Reference Manual (816-7186) for more information about switch settings.

Serial Ports

Two serial ports from the Netra CP2300 transition card are available through the rear panel with single-stacked, 9-pin connectors. One connector is assigned to Port A and the other connector to Port B (FIGURE 4-16).

Fast Ethernet Connectors

The dual-jack RJ-45 (J701) AMP1116353-8 Ethernet connectors, located on the transition card's back panel, provide two 10/100 Mbit/sec fast Ethernet ports.

  FIGURE 4-17 Fast Ethernet Connector Pins

Figure showing the fast ethernet connector pinouts on the rear transition card for the Netra CP2300 board.

By default, the Netra CP2300 board is set so that Ethernet traffic is routed to the switching fabric board rear transition card, and the fast Ethernet connectors on the Netra CP2300 rear transition card are disabled. You can use the fast Ethernet connectors on the Netra CP2300 rear transition card only if you changed the default settings on the Netra CP2300 board beforehand. Refer to Ethernet Networking on the Netra CP2300 Board for more information before proceeding with these instructions.
