Cable information
This section provides cabling information for installing the HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Carrier-Grade Server.
NEBS chassis ground
This carrier-grade product is intended for use in both common bonding networks and isolated bonding networks. The product is equipped with a NEBS-compliant chassis ground lug located on the rear of the product.
The ground lug included with the product accepts wire gauges between 10 and 12 AWG.
Network cabling
Intra-building connections of the HP ProLiant DL-Series Carrier-Grade Servers require the use of shielded cables grounded at both ends.
CAUTION: The intra-building ports of the equipment are suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building ports of the equipment must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the Outside Plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports, as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
