ProCurve 6400 CX4 Cable Management Kit Installation Guide (5991-7987)

1. Position one of the 3.5–inch straps on the cable management bracket's mounting face, as
shown in Figure 2-3, so that it is approximately adjacent to the CX4 connector ports in the
cl module in the rear of the HP ProCurve 6400cl switch, and also for the CX4 connector ports
on the front of the HP ProCurve 6400cl switch.

2. Clip an M6 cage nut into the bottom of the bracket's slot, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 2-3.
3. Insert an M6 x 16-mm screw through the metal grommet in the strap, as shown by callout
2 in Figure 2-3.
4. Use a #2 (medium) Phillips screwdriver to loosely secure the strap.
5. Rotate the strap (callout 3) and move it horizontally in the elongated slot to align it with the
center of the cl module's CX4 connector port, or the CX4 connector port on the front of the
HP ProCurve 6400cl switch.
6. Using a sample cable, align the strap so that the cable's connector (plug) is aligned correctly
with the ports.
7. Repeat steps 1–6 to install the remaining straps.
8. After aligning the straps, tighten the screws to their specified torque.
2.4 Installing the 5–Inch Straps
To install the 5-inch straps, follow these steps:
1. Verify that the cables are square and level with the ports, with no strain on the connector.
This step is important to prevent possible electromagnetic interference, which can leak past
the EMI seals if the port and connector are not correctly aligned and secured.
