Installing The Straps; Attaching The Strap - HP Cluster Platform Hardware Kits v2010 Installation Manual

This position ensures that the center of the cable aligns with the center of the port when you
secure the cable with the strap.
Adjust the vertical position of the bracket until the two holes in the bracket align with two
square holes in the rear rack columns. Mark the location of the square mounting holes and
set the bracket aside.
2. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, secure the bracket to the rack column with two M6 x 16-mm
screws (callout 3) and M6 cage nuts (callout 4), one on each side.

2.1.3 Installing The Straps

To attach the first strap to the bracket, follow these steps:
1. Position the strap on the bracket, as shown in
to the interconnect card in the server's PCI slot.

2. Clip a cage nut into the bottom of the bracket's slot, as indicated by callout 1.
3. Insert an M6 x 16-mm fastener (callout 2) through the metal grommet in the strap (callout
2).
4. Use a #2 (medium) Phillips screwdriver to secure the strap.
5. Perform this step only when fitting the first bracket:
Rotate the strap (callout 3) and align it with the port in the PCI card. Using a sample cable,
align the strap so that the cable's connector (plug) is aligned correctly with the port. Use the
location of this first strap to determine the correct strap mounting position for all subsequent
bracket installations.
6. After aligning the strap, tighten the screw to its specified torque.
Repeat the installation procedure for subsequent bracket kits, using a marker pen or masking
tape to transfer the correct location of the strap to each bracket.
Use the second fabric strap if power and signal cables are located on the same side of the server.
The second strap allows the PCI cable to be routed to the opposite side. Consult the cabling
instructions for your cluster model for more information on the second strap.
After installing all of the brackets, refer to the cabling instructions for your cluster model before
starting the cabling procedure described in
online cluster documentation.)
