2.2 Securing Cables Using the Straps To secure a cable using the straps, follow these steps: 1. Connect the cable to the port in the PCI adapter and secure it mechanically by its clips, screws, or clamps. 2. Route the cable over the strap, loop the strap through its D-ring, and secure the strap by its hook-and-loop closure. Ensure that the cable is clamped tightly by the strap and that it cannot move. 3. If your cluster model requires two fabric straps for cable management, route the cable over the second strap and follow the procedure in step 2. 4. Verify that the cable is aligned correctly, as shown in Figure 2-4. The cable is square and level with the port at the position indicated by callout 1 or callout 2, with no strain on the connection. Figure 2-4 Correct Cable and Port Alignment 2 1 2.3 Adapting the Bracket for Other Server Models Where approved by HP and described in the installation and service documentation for the HP Cluster Platform, you can adapt this bracket kit for use with other servers, subject to the following considerations: • The server contains a PCI adapter card with a multipin port, supporting a multicore copper (parallel) cable. The straps are not suitable for thin cables, such as fiber-optic. • If a threaded hole is provided in the server's rail kit, ensure that the fasteners described in Table 1-1 are the correct size and thread. Use either of the supplied fasteners or use the fasteners that are shipped with the server's rail kit. • If the fasteners do not work for the server's rail kit, attach the bracket to the rack columns instead, inverting it if necessary to obtain the correct alignment. Use the appropriate installation method described in Section 2.1. • When routing cables, ensure that cables remain within their bend radius specification, as defined in the documentation for your model of HP Cluster Platform. 2.4 Removing the Server for Servicing Bring the component to an appropriate state for removal, and put the rack cabinet into a safe and stable state for component removal. You must ensure that can you can reach the component easily and handle it safely. To remove the server, follow these steps: 1. Switch off the power supply from the rack's power distribution unit and disconnect the server's power cable. 2. Disconnect and remove each network cable until all networking ports are unplugged. 12 Installing the Kit

the second strap and follow the procedure in step 2.
4.
Verify that the cable is aligned correctly, as shown in
