Cable Labels
The SAS cables and the internal Ethernet cables provided with the Oracle FS
System have labels attached at both ends. The labels designate the hardware
component and the corresponding port to which the cable connects.
The following figure provides an example of a label attached to an internal
Ethernet cable. One end of the cable connects to the cluster interconnect network
port (<- - - >) on Controller 1. The other end of the cable connects to the NET
MGT port on Controller 2.

Handling and Care of Fiber Optic Cables
Fiber optic cables are delicate and can easily be damaged when you disconnect
the cables from the connectors. Fiber optic cables are also sensitive to dirt and to
contaminants.
Follow these tips when handling fiber optic cables:
Do not bend the fiber optic cable beyond its minimum bend radius (MBR).
•
The MBR can be expressed by multiplying 10 by the diameter of the fiber
optic cable with the cable not in tension.
Do not use force or rock the connector from side-to-side or up and down to
•
remove the connector because this action can damage the socket.
Do not pull the cables using a mechanical device. If you need to pull a
•
cable, pull the cable manually.
Do not pull the cables tight when dressing the cables. Leave some slack in
•
the cables.
Do not use tie wraps or any other crimping style of wrap on high speed
•
cables (optical or copper) because they can crimp the cable insulation and
cause data transmission problems. Only use Velcro strips to tie cables.
Do not push or step on a fiber optic cable or fiber optic connector.
•
Do not set any hardware components or other objects on top of the cables.
