4. Attach the video cable to the video port on the server. Attach the mouse
and keyboard cables to the server. If you are using one keyboard, mouse,
and monitor for more than one server, attach the cables for the HP
Console Switch to the server ports of the video card and the mouse and
monitor ports.
SCSI Cable Lengths and Distances between the Server and Storage
SCSI cable lengths (shown in Table 2-3 below) determine the distance between a
storage unit and its associated adapter cards or controllers. Guidelines used by
rack configuration tools in generating rack layouts take these distance limitations
into account.

NOTE
Be sure to leave sufficient data cable length to allow for a
cable management loop. See the section of this chapter "Cable
Routing: Creating the Cable Management Loop" and refer to
Figure 2-13.
