For detailed information on the DS3 I/O card and DS3 Standby I/O card, refer to the associated card Hardware Product Description.

DS3 Cable Assembly

For detailed information on the DS3 Cable Assembly, refer to the DS3 Cable Assembly, Hardware Product Description.

Always use the supplied DS3 cable assemblies when connecting the DS3 I/O card and a DS3 Standby I/O card for redundancy or when connecting a DS3 I/O card directly to the network. Using other cables may damage the connectors on the DS3 I/O and Standby I/O cards and cause a failure or intermittent operation.
