For example, the InfiniBand cables that run from an HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand switch mounted
in the rear of the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure to another switch, or a similar interconnect
device. The kit provides strain relief for the cables connected to the individual InfiniBand
interconnect ports and ensures a good connection. It also ensures the correct bend radius for the

c-Class enclosure cable management bracket is required for each bay of system interconnect
device.
