Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix Cabling Recommendations During installation, route cable bundles upward or downward along the sides of the rack depending on the actual situation in the machine room. All cable connectors should be placed at the bottom of the cabinet rather than be exposed outside of the cabinet. Power cords are routed beside the cabinet, and top cabling or bottom cabling is adopted according to the actual situation in the machine room, such as the positions of the DC power distribution box, AC socket, or lightning protection box.
Page 38
Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Appendix Route and bundle power, signal, ground cables separately. When the cables are ○ close to each other, cross them. Mixed bundling is not allowed. When they are close to each other, it is recommended that crossover cabling be adopted. In the case of parallel cabling, maintain a minimum distance of 30 mm between power cords and signal cables.
