Safety Information

DANGER

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous

voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the

system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet

is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power

cables for the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.

When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,

ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before

the signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power

cables from the existing system before you add a device.

Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables

to prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different

electrical potentials.

During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations,

printers, telephones, or station protectors for communication lines.

vi Installation and User's Guide

Handling Static Sensitive Devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage this device and your system unit. To avoid

damage, keep this device in its static protective bag until you are ready to install it.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, follow the precautions listed

below:

 Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around

you.

 Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

 Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

 Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the

device.

 While the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpainted metal

part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity

from the package and from your body.)

 Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit

without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its

static-protective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component-side

up.) Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.

 Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating

reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

IBM ARTIC960RxD Quad Digital Trunk PCI Adapter Internal Cabling

Multi-drop cable assemblies are used to connect the internal busses on up to four

Quad Digital Trunk PCI Adapters. There are three top card cables, RW, RX and RY.

RW is used to connect multiple IBM ARTIC960RxD Quad DTAs to each other as well

as other adapters with H.100 connectors, see below. Cables RX and RY are used to

connect Quad DTAs or other adapters that have H.100 connectors as well as

adapters that have SC-Bus connectors, see the following two pages.

These cables are just long enough to connect four adapters that support H.100

connectors in adjacent slots.

H.100, 4-Drop Cabling: The IBM ARTIC960RxD Quad DTAs have H.100 top

card connectors.

The following figure illustrates the internal cabling for the IBM ARTIC960RxD Quad

DTAs with the H.100 top card connectors cabled together. Up to four IBM

ARTIC960RxD Quad DTAs are supported and must be in adjacent slots. Refer to

Table 1-1 on page 1-3 to position the jumper on JP01 on the base card.

SC-Bus, 5-Drop Cable: This Multi-drop cable assembly is used to connect up to

four adapters with SC-Bus internal connectors. It has an additional SC-Bus

connector which connects to cable RY. See “H.100, 4-Drop Cable With SC-Bus

Converter Connector” on page 1-7. This allows adapters with SC-Bus connectors to

be used with the IBM ARTIC960RxD Quad DTAs and with other adapters that have

H.100 top card connectors.

The following figure illustrates the internal cabling for up to four adapters with

SC-Busses and an additional SC-Bus connector which goes to the H.100 4-drop

Cable with SC-Bus converter connector. Refer to Table 1-1 on page 1-3 to position

Chapter 1. Installation 1-7

Connecting Telecommunications Cables

Attention

Do not connect or handle the cable during a lightning storm.

The following instructions assume that you have the adapter in the system unit and

are ready to attach an Telecommunications Cables.

1. Align the 36-pin connector of the cable with the 36-pin connector at the rear of

the IBM ARTIC960RxD Quad DTA.

2. Depress the latch buttons on either side of the cable connector and firmly press

the cable connector into the 36-pin connector.

3. Release the latch buttons and make sure that the cable connector latches are

securely seated.

If required, connect a lightning protection device to the other ends of the cable.

Refer to the instructions that came with the device.

At the very least, the grounding strap on the lightning protection device should be

connected to an earth-ground on or near the computer.

4. Connect one or more of the four ports of the optional cable to the target device.

Each connector is marked with its port number.

Telecommunications ports are numbered 0,1,2 and 3 whereas some software (such

as DirectTalk/AIX) refers to the ports as 'Trunks 1,2,3 and 4'.

Note: Moving the system unit with a cable attached can dislodge an adapter. If any

adapter or card becomes dislodged while power is applied, proceed as

follows:

1. Turn off the computer and unplug all power cords.

2. Remove the system unit cover.

3. Loosen the expansion-slot screw of the dislodged adapter. Press down

on the top edge of the adapter to reseat it. Then, re-tighten the

expansion-slot screw.

4. Reinstall the system unit cover and replug power cords.

5. Turn on the computer.
