1 Preparing for Installation

1.1 Audience

This guide is intended for HP service representatives and other persons trained to install hardware

options in HP 10000 series racks. Such persons are expected to understand the hazards of working

in this environment and to take suitable precautions to minimize danger to themselves and

others.

1.2 Documentation Resources

You can download the documentation for components referenced in this installation guide from

the following locations:

• HP 10000 Series Rack (Documentation option):

1.3 Kit Description

The c-Class enclosure cable management bracket described in this manual is designed to align

and support the InfiniBand cables that lead from HP BladeSystem c-Class InfiniBand switches.

For example, the InfiniBand cables that run from an HP BLc 4X DDR InfiniBand switch mounted

in the rear of the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure to another switch, or a similar interconnect

device. The kit provides strain relief for the cables connected to the individual InfiniBand

interconnect ports and ensures a good connection. It also ensures the correct bend radius for the

cable and provides channels for cable routing and cable management. One HP BladeSystem

c-Class enclosure cable management bracket is required for each bay of system interconnect

device.

NOTE: The c-Class server blade enclosure cable management bracket is designed to support

24 AWG (0.41 inch) diameter, 26 AWG (0.37 inch) diameter, and 28 AWG (0.33 inch) diameter

QSFP InfiniBand cables. Consult the documentation supplied with your cluster before installing

the brackets and routing the cables.

1.4 Kit Contents

• Packaging and documentation.
