Step 6
Connect the other end of the network cable to the peer network port.
Connect the other cable connector to the peer device based on the network plan. Note the
following:
l
Connect the new network cable to the same port as the removed one.
l
Install the network cable in the network port securely.
Step 7
Check that the new network cable is functioning properly.
Power on the device, and ping the peer device connected by the new network cable. If the
peer device cannot be pinged, check whether the network cable is damaged or the connectors
are not secured.
Step 8
Bind the new network cable with other cables.
Bind the new network cable in the same way as the existing network cables. You can also
remove all cable ties and bind all of the network cables again if necessary.

3.5.3 Connecting a Cable to a 10GE Port
Connect an optical cable or SFP+ cable to a 10GE port. Before the connection, determine the
cable type and ensure that the cable to be connected 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 new network model.
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 an optical 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 SFP+ cables in the cabinet according to 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 SFP+ cables from power and signal cables when laying out the
cables.
l
Bend an optical or SFP+ cable with a bending radius of at least 4 cm (1.57 in.) to prevent
damage to core wires. Ensure that the cable is intact. Ensure that optical or SFP+ cables
are laid out for easy maintenance and capacity expansion.
