Cable Planning Charts
Cable planning charts help your electrician or cable vendor understand your master plan for cabling.
These charts are particularly useful for large, complex installations.
For information about the cables, see the following publications:
v Adapters, Devices and Cable Information, for Micro Channel Bus Systems , order number SA23-2764
v Adapters, Devices and Cable Information, for Multiple Bus Systems , order number SA23-2778
For more information on asynchronous communications software, hardware, and cabling see the AIX
Asynchronous Communications Guide.
The planning responsibilities are as follows:
v Fill in each chart, except for the shaded areas, which will be completed by the electrician or cable
vendor installing your system. You can make copies of the charts as needed. To help you complete the
charts, samples are provided on the following pages.
v Verify that the proper cabling has been ordered and installed.
v Prepare and attach cable labels, using the information from the completed charts.
v After you have completed your sections, give the charts to your electrician or cable vendor who can use
them to understand your cabling needs.
Note: Following the installation, retain the charts to help you remember the cabling scheme. These charts,
in addition to the cable labels that are available (see “Cable Labeling Reference Information” on
page 365), will be invaluable in the future if you move system units or devices and need to keep
cabling in order.
The following cable planning charts are described in this section, one for each of the following adapters or
adapter types:
v Asynchronous adapters
v Standard I/O adapters
v 4-Port Multiprotocol Communications Controller
v Other adapters
