Cable Management Examples - HP A8800 Installation Manual

Figure 75 Binding the cables
When you route cables through sharp sheet metal penetration points or along sharp edges of
•
mechanical parts, use bushings or take any other action to protect the cables from being cut or
abraded. The sheet metal penetration points must be smooth and fully rounded.
When optical fibers are inserted into a protective tube, wrap tapes around the edges of the
•
protective tube to protect optical fibers from being cut.
After binding the cables, cut the excess from the ties, leaving no sharp or angular tips.
•
See Figure
Figure 76 Cutting the cable ties
Route, bind, and attach excess cables for easy, safe maintenance activities and proper
•
operations.
Do not tie the power cables to the slide rails.
•
When you connect a cable to an articulated part, for example, when you connect a grounding
•
cable to a rack door, leave enough slack in cables and make sure they are not stressed from any
movement of the part.
Cables must be protected at points where they might rub or come in contact with sharp edges or
•
heated areas. Use high temperature cables near heat sources.
Fasten heavy or rigid power cables at the connectors to relief stress.
