HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 Getting Started & General Reference Guide

Operating the Switch 53
Two items are provided to assist with cable management:
• Cable Management Tray
The Cable Management Tray is attached to the bottom of the chassis and
can be used to route the power cables and other cables down below the
chassis.
• Cable Guides
A set of 16 cable guides are provided with the HP StorageWorks Core
Switch 2/64 and can be used to organize the port cables into logical
groups, such as according to port quads (sets of four neighboring ports).
The cable guides are free-floating and do not attach to the chassis. The
cable guides serve to keep the cables evenly spaced and to hold them
away from the 16-port cards to make card replacement easier and to
prevent the cables from bending to less than the minimum bend radius.
CAUTION Do not route the cables in front of the air exhaust vent, which is
located at the top of the port side of the chassis.
The minimum bend radius for a 50-micron cable is 2 inches under full
tensile load and 1.2 inches with no tensile load.
Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are easily
overtightened.
