Step 4: Managing and Routing Cables

Using the Cable Management Arm and the Cable Guides

The HP NetServer LC 2000r has one power input cable for each installed power
supply and multiple connections to I/O adapters in the PCI slots. Because power
and data cables are supplied only in one length, measures are necessary to manage
the cables attached to the rear of the server.
A Cable Management Arm helps to ensure that the server can be extended for
service and upgrade activities without tangling or disconnecting power and data
cables.

Route and Tie Cables into the Management Arm

Instructions for mounting the cable management arm to the rear of the LC 2000r
and to the HP Rack Systems unit are located in the rack mount chapter in the
installation guide. The instructions below assume you have already mounted the
arm.
1. Begin with the HP NetServer LC 2000r pushed all the way into the rack,
and the Cable Management Arm retracted. Plug all data and power cables
in and gather them to the corner formed by the back left side of the
NetServer and the flange of the Arm. Use a tie-wrap to secure the cables
there. See Figure 3-8.
