Chapter 3 Procedure for Connecting and Routing Cables to the LC 2000r Attach Data Cables to the Server 1. Locate SCSI connections, label both ends of the SCSI cables, and connect one end of each one to the server. Tighten captive screws on SCSI connectors to secure the cable connector to the server connector. 2. Locate any network and remote management connections from hubs, routers and other sources and connect their cables to corresponding server connectors. 3. Locate the cable that will attach the serial port on the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) (if present) and plug in the server end. 4. Attach the video cable to the video port on the server. Attach the mouse and keyboard cables to the server. If you are using one keyboard, mouse, and monitor for more than one server, attach the cables for the HP Console Switch to the server ports for video, mouse, and keyboard ports. Check Whether Cable Lengths Limit Distances between the Server and Storage Sometimes data cable length or availability limits the distance between a peripheral component (such as the UPS or video monitor) and its associated server. Guidelines used by rack configuration tools in generating rack layouts take possible distance limitations into account. Check power and data cords supplied with peripherals to ensure you have cables that are long enough to attach each device. NOTE Be sure to leave sufficient data cable length to allow for cable management. See the section of this chapter "Managing and Routing Cables" and refer to Figure 3-7. Attach Data Cables to Other Components 1. Using the colored cable ties and labels attached to each data cable previously, connect each cable to its component. 2. Fasten cable connectors to each component using captive screws. Step 3: Cable the LC 2000r for Power When all components have been mounted in the rack and their data cables connected, then the power cables can be attached. 34

Procedure for Connecting and Routing Cables to the LC 2000r
34
Attach Data Cables to the Server
1.
Locate SCSI connections, label both ends of the SCSI cables, and connect
one end of each one to the server. Tighten captive screws on SCSI
connectors to secure the cable connector to the server connector.
2.
Locate any network and remote management connections from hubs,
routers and other sources and connect their cables to corresponding server
connectors.
3.
Locate the cable that will attach the serial port on the Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS) (if present) and plug in the server end.
4.
Attach the video cable to the video port on the server. Attach the mouse
and keyboard cables to the server. If you are using one keyboard, mouse,
and monitor for more than one server, attach the cables for the HP Console
Switch to the server ports for video, mouse, and keyboard ports.
Check Whether Cable Lengths Limit Distances between the Server and Storage
Sometimes data cable length or availability limits the distance between a
peripheral component (such as the UPS or video monitor) and its associated
server. Guidelines used by rack configuration tools in generating rack layouts take
possible distance limitations into account. Check power and data cords supplied
with peripherals to ensure you have cables that are long enough to attach each
device.
NOTE
Be sure to leave sufficient data cable length to allow for cable
management. See the section of this chapter “Managing and
Routing Cables” and refer to Figure 3-7.
Attach Data Cables to Other Components
1.
Using the colored cable ties and labels attached to each data cable
previously, connect each cable to its component.
2.
Fasten cable connectors to each component using captive screws.
Step 3: Cable the LC 2000r for Power
When all components have been mounted in the rack and their data cables
connected, then the power cables can be attached.
