Step 4: Managing and Routing Cables

The HP NetServer LH 6000r has one power input cable for each set of two

installed power supplies. Another power cable is needed for the optional

redundant power supply. Cables connect external devices and networks to the

I/O adapters in the PCI slots. Because power and data cables are supplied only

in one length, steps 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 LH 6000r

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 LH 6000r 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. See Figure 3-10.
