1 Preparing for Installation

Audience

This guide is intended for HP service representatives and other persons trained to install hardware options in HP 10000–series racks. 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.

Documentation Resources

You can download the documentation for components referenced in this installation guide from the following locations:

•HP 10000 Series Rack (Documentation option): http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/racks

Kit Description

The c-Class Blade cable management bracket aligns and supports cables that lead from a 4x DDR IB (InfiniBand) Switch Module mounted in the rear of the c-Class server blade enclosure to another switch module, or to 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 bracket is required for each InfiniBand switch module.

NOTE: The cable management bracket is designed to support 0.357 inch (9.0678 mm) diameter, 0.438 inch (11.1252 mm) diameter, and 0.309 inch (7.8486 mm) diameter InfiniBand cables. Consult the documentation supplied with your model of HP Cluster Platform before installing the brackets and routing the cables.
