Routing the Cables onto the Cable Management Arm
HP-AM456-9002A Rev 01
After installing the Memory Array in an equipment rack and attaching the
necessary cables at the rear of the system, route the cables along the cable
management arm to prevent them from becoming entangled when the system
is fully extended from the equipment rack. Route the cables along the length of
the arm and hold in place with cable ties.
To route the cables along the cable management arm:
Extend the cable management arm by removing the screws from the
1.
equipment rack, holding the chassis brackets, and pulling out the Memory
Array from the equipment rack. Do not remove the system from the rack.
At the rear of the chassis, route the installed ground wire, serial cable, and
2.
power cables along the length of the cable management arm and secure
them with cable ties. Slip the cable ties around the slits in the arm and
secure the ties around the routed cables.
Route the PCIe cable along the cable management arm and above the
3.
hinge in the middle of the arm. Routing the PCIe cable above the hinge
ensures that when the system is in place in the equipment rack, the cable
radius stays above the minimum radius for PCIe cables.
The minimum radius bend for a PCIe cable is 1.9".
Note:
Push the Memory Array back into the equipment rack and secure it to the
4.
equipment frame using the screws that were removed earlier.
