Cabling the System

This chapter contains instructions for installing the fiber cable organizer, cabling the
system, and connecting the power cord to the AC power supply.
2.1

Preparing the System for Cabling

Make sure the server is in an area that allows access to the front and rear of the
chassis. This site should conform to site preparation guidelines and specifications
covered in Chapter 1.
2.2

Installing the Fiber Cable Organizer

Use the fiber cable organizer to route the fiber optic cable to connect the interface
board and the I/O+ board. A 2-meter cable is required when utilizing the internal
FC-AL disk drives. The cable organizer can help prevent damage to the fiber optic
cable by helping ensure the 1.0 inch minimum bend radius rule is observed.
The fiber cable organizer kit includes two organizer sections and one screw. To
install the cable organizer:
1. Remove the screw securing the power cord retainer clip to the support bracket at
the rear of the system.
2. Orient one of the fiber cable organizer sections with the spool facing toward you.
Set the hooks on the back of the organizer into the corresponding cutouts on the
right side of the support bracket.
The top of the brace should be flush with the top of the support bracket. The
organizer will extend below the bracket.
