HP Proliant DL320e Gen8 Carrier-Grade Server Read Before Install Carrier-Grade Instructions.

1 Cabling
This section provides cabling information for installing the HP Proliant DL320e Gen8 v2 Carrier
Grade Server.
Grounding
This carrier-grade product is intended for use in both common bonding networks and isolated
bonding networks.
Grounding must comply with local, national, and other applicable government codes and
regulations.
Dedicated safety grounds are implemented on both the AC and DC versions of this product. The
AC product uses a standard three wire cord that includes a safety ground for the power supply.
The DC product has a dedicated ground screw on the power supply.
WARNING! To ensure the safety ground, the power supply's ground lead must be installed and
appropriately terminated at all times.
TIP: To ensure an adequate ground connection, mating surfaces should be cleaned to a bright
metal finish and an antioxidant applied before connections are made.
Network Cabling
To ensure the safety ground, the power supply's ground lead must be installed and appropriately
terminated at all times.
Intra-building connections of the HP Proliant DL-series Carrier-Grade Servers require the use of
shielded cables grounded at both ends.
CAUTION: The intra-building ports of the equipment are suitable for connection to intra-building
or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building ports of the equipment must not be
metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the Outside Plant (OSP) or its wiring. These
interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports, as described
in GR-1089–CORE, Issue 4) and requires isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition
of primary protectors is not sufficient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP
wiring.
