1 Preparing for Installation 1.1 Audience This guide is intended for HP service representatives and other persons trained to install hardware options in the HP 10000 and 15000 series racks. Such persons are expected to understand the hazards of working in this environment and to take suitable precautions to minimize danger to themselves and others. 1.
Figure 1-1: Cable Management Bracket X Y Z [ The bracket can be used in several models of the HP Cluster Platform and might be adaptable for other cable management applications (consult your hardware installation documentation). The following bracket features are called out in the illustration: • 1. Mounting holes, which you use to attach the bracket to the rack. 2. The mounting face, which contains three mounting slots. You attach cable management straps to this part of the bracket. 3.
• Packaging and documentation. To prevent screws from becoming loose because of vibration, HP recommends that you use an adjustable torque driver set to the torque specifications given in Table 1-1. Contact your HP sales representative if any parts are missing. 1.5 Required Resources To install the kit, you require the following resources: • Tools: - Screwdriver, Torx (T15). - Screwdriver, #2 (medium) Phillips. - Cage-nut insertion tool (shipped with the rack) or a flat-bladed screwdriver.

6. After aligning the strap, tighten the screw to its specified torque. Repeat the installation procedure for subsequent bracket kits, using a marker pen or masking tape to transfer the correct horizontal location of the strap to each bracket. When all brackets are installed, consult the cabling instructions for your cluster model before starting the cabling procedure described in Section 2.2. (See Section 1.2 for the location of the cluster documentation.) 2.
