CLIM Cable Management Ethernet Patch Panel
The HPE Ethernet patch panel cable management product is used for cabling the IP and Telco
CLIM connections. The patch panel simplifies and organizes the cable connections to allow easy
access to the CLIM's customer-usable interfaces.
IP CLIMs each have five customer-usable interfaces. The patch panel connects these interfaces
and brings the usable interface ports to the patch panel. Each Ethernet patch panel has 24 slots,
is 1U high, and should be the topmost unit to the rear of the rack. Each Ethernet patch panel can
handle cables for up to five CLIMs. It has no power connection.
Each patch panel has 6 panes labeled A, B, C, D, E, and F. Each pane has 4 RJ-45 ports, and
each port is labeled 1, 2, 3, or 4. The RJ-45 ports in Panel A have port names: A1, A2, A3, and
A4.
The factory default configuration depends on how many IP or Telco CLIMs and patch panels are
configured in the system. For a new system, QMS Tech Doc generates a cable table with the
CLIM interface name. This table identifies how the connections between the CLIM physical ports
and patch panel ports were configured at the factory.
If you are adding a patch panel to an existing system, ask your Hewlett Packard Enterprise
service provider to refer to the
CLuster I/O (CLIM) Installation and Configuration Guide
