Installing and Configuring the SAN Director 2/128 Managing Cables The SAN Director 2/128 cables can be managed in a variety of ways, including the following: ■ Routed down through the cable management tray ■ Routed out either side of the chassis ■ Cable channels on the sides of the cabinet ■ Patch panels Two items are provided to assist with cable management: ■ Cable Management Tray-The cable management tray is attached to the bottom of the chassis (see Figure 12) and can be used to route the power cables and other cables down below the chassis or out the sides of the chassis. Routing the cables down through the holes in the management tray requires minimum of 3U (rack units) below the switch. ■ Cable Guides (Pillars)-A set of 16 cable guides (pillars) are provided with the SAN Director 2/128 and can be used to organize the port cables into logical groups, such as according to port quads (sets of four neighboring ports). The cable guides do not attach to the chassis (see Figure 13). Cable Management Guide scale: .50" = 1" 2.029 Figure 13: Cable guide (pillar) The cable guides serve to keep the cables evenly spaced and to hold them away from the port cards, making card replacement easier and preventing the cables from bending to less than the minimum bend radius. 62 SAN Director 2/128 Installation Guide
