Connecting The Isr 9096 Router Blades; Connecting To Ipr Gbe Ports; Connecting To Fcr Fc Ports; Cable Routing Procedure For The Isr 9288 - HP Cluster Platform Interconnects v2010 User Manual

— Whether the cluster is a bounded or federated design.
— Whether the cluster is a full or constrained bandwidth design.
— The presence of utility racks (UXR).
Use the following procedure to route and connect cables:
1. During factory integration, all cables are labelled with their origin and destination ports.
2. Begin at the bottom of the chassis with line board 4.
3. Working upwards through the line boards, dress the cables in the bracket hook that is
adjacent to the line board for each line card as follows:
a. Route the cables from ports 1 through 6 and ports 13 through 18 to the left side
b. For each line card, route the cables from Ports 7 through 12 and ports 19 through 24 to
the right side.
4. The ISR 9096 can contain between one and four line cards. All cables route to the side and
down the rack. When all ports are used, 48 cables run down each side of the rack.

7.1.6 Connecting the ISR 9096 Router Blades

This section provides instructions on cable connections to the IPR and FCR router modules that
are installed in the ISR 9096 sRBD.

7.1.6.1 Connecting to IPR GbE Ports

Use the following procedure to connect a cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port:
1. Connect the small form-factor SFP GBIC connector to the GbE port on the IPR module.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate device.

7.1.6.2 Connecting to FCR FC Ports

Use the following procedure to connect a cable to the Fibre Channel port:
1. Connect the small form-factor FC 1G/2G 850nm LC transceiver connector to the FC port on
the FCR module.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate device.

7.1.7 Cable Routing Procedure for the ISR 9288

Refer to the appropriate cabling tables for your model of HP Cluster Platform. The cabling tables
define the syntax of the port names for origin and destination ports. Every port has a unique
designator to ensure correct cabling. The cabling tables are specific to:
• The total number of nodes in the cluster.
• The models of server used as nodes.
• The node format, which determines rack density.
• Other configuration-specific factors, such as:
— Whether the cluster is a bounded or federated design.
— Whether the cluster is a full or constrained bandwidth design.
— The presence of utility racks (UXR).
Figure 7-2 shows the routing model for a fully-configured chassis with all 288 ports in use.
