3 Procedure for Connecting and
Routing Cables to the LH 3000r
Step 1: Prepare to Cable the HP NetServer
LH 3000r
Assess How Components Will be Connected to the Server
You may find the following steps to be helpful before you begin cabling:
• Review the layout of the rack installation generated with Hewlett-Packard
rack configuration tools, such as Rack Assistant (available at
www.hp.com/go/netservers).
• Consider the cabling guidelines discussed in Chapter 2 of this Reference
Guide in the section "Data Cabling References and Guidelines."
• Review the plan for your rack power subsystem, considering how you will
provide failure resistance (see Appendix B, "Considerations in Mounting
the Redundant Switch"), interim power (see Table 2-1 on Uninterruptible
Power Supplies) and distribution (see the section of Chapter 2 titled
"Power Distribution Units").
Check that you have completed the mounting of the Cable Guides, Cable
Management Arms, and Power Distribution Units as noted below. See Figure 2-2
for an example illustration showing how these three items may look when
mounted.
Attach Cable Guide to Rack Column
Using the instructions included, attach the two Cable Guides to the rack column.

by following the instructions in the HP NetServer LH 3000/3000r Installation
Guide which accompanies your unit. Cable routing details are included in the
section of this chapter titled "Cable Management."
