Types of Network Cables Used
•
The server cabinets require approximately four feet of space in front and
three feet of space in back for access by service personnel.
•
There can be no more than two tape expansion cabinets in a system and the
tape cabinets must be next to the server cabinet. Figure 1-7 shows one
possible arrangement of cabinets. If serial/parallel port hardware is
installed in the main cabinet, allow an additional three feet of access space
to the left side of the cabinet. See Figure 1-7.
•
The server system (including expansion cabinets) should have a dedicated
AC breaker panel. The server system should not share this breaker panel
with other, unrelated equipment.
•
Keep power and interface cables out of the way of foot traffic. Cables can be
routed inside walls, floors, ceilings, or in protective channels. Interface
cables should be routed away from motors and other sources of magnetic or
radio frequency interference.
