Connecting and Disconnecting Cables
CAUTION!
Observe the safety information in the chapter “Important Notes” on
page 17.
Never connect or disconnect cables during thunderstorms.
When disconnecting a cable, always grasp the plug. Never pull on the
cable!
Read the documentation for an external device before you connect it.
Ê
Refer to the Technical Manual of your rack model for detailed information
about cable routing and the cable management system.
Ê
Refer to “Rear View” on page 47 to get more information about ports and
connectors.
Notes on Connecting Cables
●
All affected devices must be switched off.
●
The power plugs of all affected devices must be pulled from the sockets.
Then attach all cables to the server. Mark the cables and note what function
each cable serves.
●
Insert the power plugs into the grounded socket. Make sure that the power
cables of the devices are plugged in so that an even distribution of power to
the three phases (L1, L2, L3) in the rack is achieved (refer to the manual of
your rack model for more information).
●
For devices with articulated cable guides, secure the cables to the articu-
lated cable guide with the cable ties.
Notes on Disconnecting Cables
●
Switch off all affected devices.
●
Pull the power plugs of all affected devices out of the sockets.
●
Disconnect all cables on the server and the storage subsystem.
