1.4 Kit Description
The 435762-B21 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.
