Configuration Factors
•
Server Console Switch—If a switch box is configured, use the CPU-to-Switch
cable included with the server. The standard distance between the switch box and
the keyboard, monitor, and/or mouse can vary by 3-, 7-, 12-, 20- and 40-foot
lengths. Optional Plenum-rated KVM cables are available in 20-foot and
40-foot lengths.
NOTE: National Electrical Regulations governing the installation of building wiring require
that an appropriate cable, meeting fire-safety standards, must be used any time cabling is
routed:
•
Through an overhead drop-ceiling
•
Under a computer room's raised flooring
•
From room to room
•
From floor to floor
Be sure that the cable jacket or sleeving is made of material that does not burn easily and
does not exude toxic fumes when exposed to heat. Be sure that the cable you have
selected is appropriate for your installation site. If you require a U.S. plenum-rated (CL2P)
cable, please contact your local HP authorized reseller to obtain the following options:
•
149363-B21—20-foot plenum cable
•
149364-B21—40-foot plenum cable
•
Baying Option Kits—The number of baying kits needed to join a series of racks
is one less than the number of racks in the suite. Each baying kit supplies parts to
bay two cabinets on 600 millimeters (24 inches) center line spacing.
•
Side Panels—Only one set of side panels is required for each row of
bayed racks.
•
Stabilizing Feet—A stand-alone rack requires stabilizing feet.
