A Cabling Checklist

Checklist for Cabling Process
Use the Site Preparation Checklist in Chapter 1 to make sure your site is ready.
Read and follow all Rack Assembly and Cabling Warnings in Chapter 1 and in the
Assembly Instructions that accompany your HP Rack.
Assemble (new) or assess (existing) rack equipment.
Check Wattage, Volt Amps, and Amperage to ensure you do not overload your branch
circuits breakers or the rack power supply and distribution equipment. Use tables in
Chapter 2 and illustrations in Chapter 3 for this purpose.
Mount the rack power subsystem, HP NetServer, HP Mass Storage Units, and peripheral
equipment in the rack.
Use instructions which come with them to mount the Power Distribution Unit(s) and the
Cable Guides, and follow instructions in the HP NetServer LXr 8500 Installation Guide
to mount Cable Management Arms.
Attach data cables to the HP NetServer, leave slack for use in cable management, and
connect cables to corresponding components.
Attach power cables to the HP NetServer and other components in the rack, taking care
to balance loads as necessary across PDUs and UPS units. Leave slack enough for use in
cable management. See the section "Determining and Balancing Current Draw" in
Chapter 3.
Route cables through the Cable Management Arm(s) and the Cable Guides, and tie wrap
them in place.
Power up components and then the server, following instructions in Chapter 3.
