Cable Management System
This label identifies the cable connecting the p-switches at U31 of both cabinet 1 and 2
at slot 3, connectors 1 or 2, which are crosslink connections between the two p-
switches. Each label conveys this information:
In cases where you replace a cable or when you either install or move an enclosure,
be sure to update information on the labels at both ends of the cables.
Cable Management System
Integrity NonStop NS-series systems include the cable management system (CMS) to
protect all power, fiber-optic, and CAT5 Ethernet cables within the systems. The CMS
maintains a 25 millimeter (1 inch) minimum bend radius for the fiber cables and
provides strain relief for all cables.
Several Integrity NonStop NS-series enclosures, specifically the slice, p-switch and
LSU, integrate CMS provisions for routing and securing the fiber-optic cables to
prevent damaging them when the enclosures are moved out and back into the cabinet
for servicing.
Additionally, cable spools mounted on the inside of the cabinet structure provide the
means for looping and containing free lengths of fiber-optic cables to prevent damage.
Internal Interconnect Cables
Integrity NonStop NS-series systems use predominantly multimode fiber-optic (MMF)
cables for ServerNet interconnection of:
•
Slices to LSUs
•
LSUs to p-switches
•
P-switches to IOAMs
•
P-switches to NonStop S-series I/O enclosure IOMF 2 CRUs
•
P-switches to p-switches (crosslink)
•
P-switches to ESS disks
•
FCSA to M8201 Fibre Channel to SCSI router
Nn Identifies the node number. One node can include up to
six racks.
Rn Identifies the rack number within the node.
Un Identifies the offset that is the physical location of the
component within the rack. n is the lowest U number on
the rack that the component occupies.
nn.nn All but LSU: Identifies the slot location and port
connection of the component.
LSU: Identifies the position of the logic board and optics
adapter pair and the port connection of the optics
adapter.
