WARNING: External cable weight contributes to the overall weight of the rack installation.
Because cable installation and load-bearing designs vary greatly, carefully consider cable weight
in all designs.
WARNING: Do not exceed the specified weight limit for the third-party rack or the floor.
When creating deployments of ProLiant DL320 or ProLiant DL360 ultra-dense servers in a third-
party rack, include in the weight calculations the weight of the rack rails, cable management trays
and cables that place a load on the rack.
CAUTION: The cable management tray design reduces cable congestion and relieves strain on
connectors. Ensure that the cabling design provides both adequate airspace for thermal dissipation
and strain relief for the cable connections on the ProLiant DL360 or ProLiant DL320 server if the
cable management tray is not used.
