Page 51
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix D Cabling Recommendations in Installation Cables of different types (such as power cords, signal cables, and grounding cables) should be separated in cabling and bundling and no mixed bundling is allowed. When they are close, crossover cabling can be adopted. In the case of parallel cabling, power cords and signal cables should maintain a distance not less than 30 mm (1.18 in.).
Page 52
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix D Cabling Recommendations in Installation Figure D-3 Bundling up cables (3) Cables not to be assembled or remaining parts of cables should be folded and placed in a proper position of the cabinet or cabling slot. The proper position indicates a position that will not affect device running or cause device damage or cable damage during commissioning.
Page 53
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix D Cabling Recommendations in Installation Figure D-4 Cable fastening The hard power cable should be fastened at the terminal connection area to prevent stress on terminal connection and cable. Do not use self-tapping screws to fasten terminals. Power cables of the same type and in the same cabling direction should be bundled up into cable bunches, with cables in cable bunches clean and straight.
