Task 2: Plan Fibre Channel Cable Routing
•
Power requirements, including an optional uninterruptable
power supply (UPS).
•
Lengths of power cables and location of electrical outlets
(for directors, switches, and the management server) having
the proper phase, voltage, amperage, and ground connection.
DANGER
Use the supplied power cords. Ensure the facility power receptacle
is the correct type, supplies the required voltage, and is properly
grounded.
•
Security necessary to protect the installation's physical integrity,
while maintaining accessibility to the director or switch.
•
Facility access and security clearances for installation personnel.
•
Equipment cabinet front and rear service clearances, operator
clearances, and maintenance access clearances.
•
Weight of a Fabricenter equipment cabinet. Either multiple
persons or a lift must be available during installation to remove
the cabinet from the packing crate.
•
Heat dissipation, temperature, and humidity requirements.
For specific actions required to satisfy this planning task, refer
to
Table 6-2
(Physical Planning and Hardware Installation Tasks), and
Table 6-3
(Operational Setup Tasks).
Plan for sufficient singlemode fiber-optic, multimode fiber-optic, and
Ethernet cabling to meet the connectivity requirements for all fabric
elements (directors, fabric switches, and SAN routers), Fibre Channel
servers, and devices. Plan for sufficient fiber-optic cabling to meet
interswitch link (ISL) connectivity requirements and SAN routing
requirements.
Plan for at least one meter (39.37 inches) of fiber-optic cable inside the
Fabricenter equipment cabinet for routing to product Fibre Channel
ports as required. Plan for an additional 1.5 meters (5 feet) of cable
outside the cabinet to provide slack for service clearance, limited
cabinet movement, and inadvertent cable pulls.
