1 Preparing for Installation

This chapter describes what you need to do before you begin installing an AC070A cable
management bracket in an HP Rack 10000 Series cabinet. Note that such persons are expected
to understand the hazards of working in this environment and to take suitable precautions to
minimize danger to themselves and others.
This bracket is used to support cables on the following servers:
• DL585 G1 and DL585 G2 (Quadrics, Voltaire, and Cisco only)
• DL380 G5 riser cage A PCI-e (standard) in slot 5 (Quadrics, Voltaire, and Cisco only)
• DL385 G2 riser cage A PCI-e (standard) in slot 5 (Quadrics, Voltaire, and Cisco only)
• RX2660 riser cage A PCI-e (combination) in slot 1 (Quadrics, Voltaire, and Cisco only)

1.1 Intended Audience

system interconnect to the PCI card installed in each cluster node (server). This bracket is also
designed to support different types of cables and servers, as specified in the installation
instructions for your cluster.

1.4 Kit Description

The AC070A cable management bracket kit described in this document is designed to align and
support cables that lead from a cluster's system interconnect to the PCI interface card installed
in each server (node). The bracket provides strain relief for the PCI port and ensures a good
connection. It also ensures the correct bend radius for the cable, and provides attachment points
for cable routing and cable management. A kit is required for every server that contains a PCI
interface card for the system interconnect.
