Installing the SAN Switch 2/32 Recommendations for Cable Management HP recommends following these cable management guidelines: ■ Plan cable management before installing the switch in a rack. ■ Leave at least one meter of slack for each port cable (this provides room to remove and replace the switch). ■ If using ISL Trunking: - Group cables by trunking groups. - The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the HP StorageWorks ISL Trunking Version 3.0.x/4.0.x User Guide. ■ Label the fiber optic cables and record the devices to which they are connected. ■ Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables directly downwards or otherwise away from the LEDs. ■ Do not use tie wraps on fiber optic cables, because they are easily overtightened and can damage the optic fibers. Note: The minimum bend radius for a 50-micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load, and 1.2 inches with no tensile load. SAN Switch 2/32 Installation Guide 59
