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 you are 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 Fabric OS 4.2.x Features 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; 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 Version 4.2.x Installation Guide 49

SAN Switch 2/32 Version 4.2.x Installation Guide
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 you are 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 Fabric OS
4.2.x Features 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; 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.
