Cable Labeling
Fiber-optic cables provide all ServerNet and other I/O data signal interconnections within Integrity
NonStop NS14000 systems. With the exception of the dedicated service LAN, no copper I/O
interconnect cables are used. Although fiber-optic cables provide high-speed, low-latency
communications, all of the cables look the same and are the same color, usually orange.
To identify correct cable connections to factory-installed hardware, every interconnect cable has
a plastic label affixed to each end. Extra sheets of preprinted labels that you can fill in are also
provided. These labels are attached to the cable and connector and contain information about
which enclosure and connector the cable is to connect.
This illustration shows an example of the labels that are attached to the cable and connector and
contain information about which enclosure and connector the cable is to connect:
