Installing Cards and Appliques

Installing a Long Ground Strap

Ground straps, which are included with all appliques, ground the applique to the chassis to prevent

EMI noise on your network interface. The applique card cage containing the FDDI appliques should

already be installed in the chassis and secured with four screws. Refer to Figure 13 while you install

the long ground strap.

Connecting Internal and External Cables

The four internal ribbon cables (permanently attached to the FDDI applique) attach to the four

connectors on the front edge of the C2FCIT card. The FDDI network interface cables attach to the

FDDI applique and provide the external connections to your network. Before beginning these

procedures, position the chassis with the open card cage facing you.

Connecting the Internal FDDI Ribbon Cables

The four internal ribbon cables are ﬁxed to the applique and must be routed and attached to ports on

the C2FCIT card. The ribbon cables are labeled alphabetically depending on the number of

appliques you will install. The C2FCIT card connectors are shown in Figure 14, and the ribbon cable

connectors are listed in Table 4. The ribbon cable orientation and labeling for the FDDI applique is

shown in Figure 15.
