InfiniBand Cabling Guidelines
It is recommended to dress the cables connected to the InfiniBand connectors of each sLB into
two groups, left and right, and fasten them down gently after connectivity has been verified.
The cables from the same half of the Line Boards are bundled on the corresponding hangers
and will be routed down along the Rack side wall.
Cables should be arranged so that each Line board’s cables don’t interfere with the neighbor
Line Board insertion or removal.
