Refer to the following sections for information on connecting the cables to the BCM50 system:
• “Connecting the expansion unit”
• “Connecting the power supply” on page 100
• “Connecting the lines and extensions” on page 102
• “Connecting the auxiliary equipment” on page 107
Connecting the expansion unit
The expansion unit connects to the main unit through the expansion ports on the front of the units.
Figure 42 shows the location of the expansion ports on the BCM50 main unit and the expansion
unit.
Figure 42 Expansion ports
If your BCM50 system does not have an expansion unit, proceed to “Connecting the power
supply” on page 100.
Note: The expansion unit connected to expansion/LAN port 2 on the main unit is
designated as Expansion 1 in Element Manager, while the expansion unit
connected to expansion/LAN port 3 is designated as Expansion 2.
Use this information to configure the correct media bay module (MBM) in
Element Manager (see “Configuring the media bay module” on page 150).
