1.4 Kit Description

The AC089A cable management bracket described in this document is designed to align and

support cables that lead from a cluster's system interconnect to the PCI interface card installed

in each server (node). This bracket provides strain relief for the PCI port and ensures a good

connection. It also ensures the correct bend radius for the cable and provides attachment points

for cable routing and cable management. A kit is required for every server that contains a PCI

interface card for the system interconnect.

Note:

This bracket is designed to support different types of cables, from a 5/16-inch (7.9-mm) minimum

diameter to a 5/8-inch (15.9-mm) maximum diameter. Consult the documentation supplied with

your cluster before installing the brackets and routing the cables.
