Cabling
Cabling requirements
The following cables are required for all configurations:
Chassis power cabling
Six power cables per chassis, one per power supply, to the PDU.
Network cabling
One Ethernet cable per iLO port on each chassis controller in a rack (remove this cable when APM is present
in the rack).
For configurations that include the HPE Apollo Platform Manager, the following
additional cables
are
required:
• One HPE Apollo Platform Manager USB to MicroDB9 Cable to the PDM ports on each HPE Apollo
Platform Manager.
• One consolidated management cable per chassis to the APM input ports on each chassis controller or
HPE Apollo Platform Manager.
• One Ethernet cable per APM in a rack.
• One HPE Apollo Platform Manager serial to DB9 cable for initial APM setup (869324-001).
• One Ethernet cable per rack for iLO connectivity.
Cabling the chassis
WARNING:
Be sure that all circuit breakers are in the off position before connecting any power
components.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the fiber cables, do not drape cables from one side of the rack to the
other and do not run cables over a hard corner or edge.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the cable, squeeze the thermal boot on the cable before disconnecting
from the connector.
CAUTION:
To prevent loss of data and damage to the PDU, each power supply must be connected to a
dedicated circuit breaker. Do not connect multiple power supplies to a single circuit breaker.
