5.8 Cables and Modules

5.8.1 Networking Cable Installation 
1.
All cables can be inserted or removed with the unit powered on.
2.
To insert a cable, press the connector into the port receptacle until the connector is firmly
seated.
a.
Support the weight of the cable before connecting the cable to the DPU/SuperNIC. Do
this by using a cable holder or tying the cable to the rack.
b.
Determine the correct orientation of the connector to the DPU/SuperNIC before
inserting the connector. Do not try and insert the connector upside down. This may
damage the DPU/SuperNIC.
c.
Insert the connector into the DPU/SuperNIC . Be careful to insert the connector
straight into the cage. Do not apply any torque, up or down, to the connector cage in
the DPU/SuperNIC.
d.
Make sure that the connector locks in place.
When installing cables make sure that the latches engage.
Always install and remove cables by pushing or pulling the cable and
connector in a straight line with the DPU.
3.
After inserting a cable into a port, the Green LED indicator will light when the physical
connection is established (that is, when the unit is powered on and a cable is plugged into
the port with the other end of the connector plugged into a functioning port). See
