1 nnn indicates the length of the cable in meters. For example, M8900125 is 125 meters long; M8900-15 is 15 meters
long.
Although a considerable distance can exist between the modular enclosures in the system, HP
recommends placing all cabinets adjacent to each other and bolting them together, with cable
length between each of the enclosures as short as possible.
Cable Management System
The cable management system (CMS) for Integrity NonStop NS14000 systems contains cable
trays and vertical cable guides and is designed specifically for the Integrity NonStop NS14000
