1.3 Kit Description

The c-Class enclosure cable management bracket described in this manual is designed to align
and support the InfiniBand cables that lead from an HP c-Class InfiniBand switch module. For
example, the InfiniBand cables that run from a HP c-Class switch module mounted in the rear of
the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure to another switch, or a similar interconnect device. The kit
provides strain relief for the cables connected to the individual InfiniBand interconnect ports and
ensures a good connection. It also ensures the correct bend radius for the cable and provides
channels for cable routing and cable management. One cable management kit is required for
each interconnect module bay system interconnect device.
NOTE: The cable management bracket is designed to support 24 AWG (0.41 inch) diameter,
26 AWG (0.37 inch) diameter, and 28 AWG (0.33 inch) diameter QSFP InfiniBand cables.
