cable into the ESD jack located on the lower-right outside edge of the shelf assembly.
Note Fiber boots are not recommended for OC192 cards or OC48 AS cards because of the downward angle
of the optical ports.
Note You can install the fiber-optic cable immediately after installing the cards, or wait until you are ready to
turn up the network. See
Step 1 Test the optical receive levels for the cards installed and attenuate accordingly. See
minimum and maximum levels.
