3.5.4 Connecting a 56G IB Cable
If a 56G IB cable is to be replaced, ensure that the new cable is of the same model as the one
to be replaced or is compatible with the server.
The following tools are available:
l
Phillips screwdriver: used to tighten screws
l
ESD wrist strap or ESD gloves: used to prevent ESD damage
Procedure
Step 1
Check the model of the new network.
Step 2
Number the new cable.
l
The new cable must have the same number as the old one.
l
Use the same type of labels for optical cables. Record the name and number of the local
device to be connected on one side of an optical cable and those of the peer device on the
other side. Attach a label 2 cm (0.79 in.) away from the end of a network cable.
Step 3
Lay out the new cable.
Lay out the new cable in the same way as the old one. Note the following points:
l
Lay out optical or QSFP+ cables in the cabinet by observing installation regulations. You
are advised to arrange new cables in the same way as existing cables. Ensure that cables
are routed neatly and intact.
l
Separate optical or QSFP+ cables from power and signal cables when laying out the
cables.
l
Bend optical or QSFP+ cables with a bending radius of at least 4 cm (1.57 in.) to prevent
damage to core wires. Lay out optical or QSFP+ cables for easy maintenance and
capacity expansion.
l
Bind optical cables with cable ties. Ensure that optical cables are routed straightly and
bound neatly and that cable ties are installed at even spacing and fastened properly.
Step 4
