Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Server High-Density Deployment in Compaq Racks 32 Compaq Confidential - Need to Know Required Connecting Cables This section discusses connecting and routing cables with different cable management solutions and different console management solutions. In-Rack Local Console To install cables with in-rack local consoles: 1. Connect the cables to each device installed in the rack, working from the bottom to the top. 2. Connect the cables to the bottom piece of equipment. 3. Bundle the cables and route them through the cable management arm. 4. Connect the cables to the console switchbox. 5. Connect the power cord to the PDU. Do not connect the PDU to any power source until all equipment is fully deployed in the rack. Refer to Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide for the recommended order for connecting cables. When the cables are properly connected and routed through the cable management arm, the rear door of the rack closes easily over the cables. If the rear door does not close easily, additional space may be required. Install the rack extension or the bustle kit to provide more space for the cables at the rear of the rack. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the equipment: • Unplug the power cord from the system. • Do not disable the power-cord-grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. • Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times. • Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server. IMPORTANT: In 7000-series racks, route the power cables from the servers to the PDUs through the gap in the rear of the rack rail. Off-Rack Local Console Use the in-rack local console procedure for the cable management arm installed in the rack to connect and route cables with an off-rack local console. Longer cables may be required to reach an off-rack console. See Table 11 for information on CPU-to-switchbox cables available from Compaq. 14UH-0701A-WWEN

Connecting Cables
This section discusses connecting and routing cables with different cable management solutions
and different console management solutions.
In-Rack Local Console
To install cables with in-rack local consoles:
1.
Connect the cables to each device installed in the rack, working from the bottom to the top.
2.
Connect the cables to the bottom piece of equipment.
3.
Bundle the cables and route them through the cable management arm.
4.
Connect the cables to the console switchbox.
5.
Connect the power cord to the PDU. Do not connect the PDU to any power source until all
equipment is fully deployed in the rack.
Refer to
Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Server Setup and Installation Guide
for the
recommended order for connecting cables.
When the cables are properly connected and routed through the cable management arm, the rear
door of the rack closes easily over the cables. If the rear door does not close easily, additional
space may be required. Install the rack extension or the bustle kit to provide more space for the
cables at the rear of the rack.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the equipment:
•
Unplug the power cord from the system.
•
Do not disable the power-cord-grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important
safety feature.
•
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible
at all times.
•
Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed
against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the
cord extends from the server.
IMPORTANT:
In 7000-series racks, route the power cables from the servers to the PDUs
through the gap in the rear of the rack rail.
Off-Rack Local Console
Use the in-rack local console procedure for the cable management arm installed in the rack to
connect and route cables with an off-rack local console. Longer cables may be required to reach
an off-rack console. See Table 11 for information on CPU-to-switchbox cables available from
Compaq.
