Cable
Installation
and
Management
In
some
configurations,
cables
that
are
not
properly
supported
might
damage
the
associated
connectors.
Connector
damage
can
be
prevented
by
following
the
procedures
described
in
this
section.
These
procedures
must
be
used
for
installing
I/O
cables,
administrative
LAN
cables,
and
High
Performance
Switch
(HPS)
cables
in
a
M/T
7040-W42
frame.
Note:
Planning
information
for
switch
cable
installation
is

Planning,
Installation,
and
Service
Guide
.
This
section
describes
the
procedures
you
must
follow
when
installing
a
7040
frame,
especially
with
administrative
LAN
and
High
Performance
Switch
cables.
Failure
to
follow
these
procedures
might
damage
network
components.
The
objectives
of
these
procedures
are
to:
v
Provide
HPS
cables
with
continuous
support
and
strain
relief.
v
Minimize
the
possibility
of
pin
damage
to
the
SNI
ports.
v
Form
consistent
cable
groups.
v
Maintain
efficient
cooling.
A
high-level
workflow
for
cable
installation
is
as
follows:
1.
Install
the
frame.
2.
Route
all
signal
cables
up
through
the
tailgate.
3.
Separate
cables
into
groups
based
on
their
location
and
size.
Note:
If
a
High
Performance
Switch
is
in
the
configuration,
the
cables
must
not
be
connected
to
SNIs
or
switch
port
connection
cards
until
the
weight
of
each
cable
is
fully
supported.
4.
Make
certain
that
cable
groupings
do
not
interfere
with
PCI
adapter
slots.
5.
Make
certain
that
the
cable
bend
radius
allows
clearance
for
closing
the
rear
door
but
is
not
so
sharp
that
it
places
excessive
strain
on
the
cable
or
the
associated
connectors.
6.
Cable
the
frame
starting
with
the
upper
cable
connections
and
working
down.
7.
Apply
tailgate
insert
clamp
supports
for
the
cables
from
left
to
right.
The
following
illustration
shows
the
tailgate
assembly
and
standard
frame
extenders
of
a
properly
cabled
frame.
Refer
to
the
service
guide
