Cable Management Guidelines

Cable Management Guidelines
To help with cable management, you might want to allow additional space in the rack above and below the
chassis to make it easier to route as many as 56 fiber or copper cables through the rack.

Required Equipment

Before beginning the installation, ensure that the following items are ready:
• Number 1 and number 2 Phillips screwdrivers with torque capability
• 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver
• Tape measure and level
• ESD wrist strap or other grounding device
• Antistatic mat or antistatic foam
The following additional items (not found in the accessory kit) are required to ground the chassis:
• Grounding cable (6 AWG recommended), sized according to local and national installation requirements;
• Crimping tool large enough to accommodate girth of lug
• Wire-stripping tool

Unpacking and Inspecting the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect

Caution
When handling chassis components, wear an ESD strap and handle modules by the carrier edges only. An
ESD socket is provided on the chassis. For the ESD socket to be effective, the chassis must be grounded
through the power cable, the chassis ground, or the metal-to-metal contact with a grounded rack.
Tip Keep the shipping container in case the chassis requires shipping in the future.
Note
The interconnect is thoroughly inspected before shipment. If any damage occurred during transportation or
any items are missing, contact your customer service representative immediately.
