SAN Director 2/128 Installation Guide
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
).
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.
