2 Cabling
Cable Information
This section provides cabling information for installing the HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 Carrier-Grade
Server.
Grounding
This carrier-grade product is intended for use in both common bonding networks and isolated
bonding networks.
Grounding must comply with local, national, and other applicable government codes and
regulations.
Dedicated safety grounds are implemented on both the AC and DC versions of this product. The
AC product uses a standard three wire cord that includes a safety ground for each power supply.
The DC product has a dedicated ground screw on each power supply.
WARNING! To ensure the safety ground, at least one power supply with an appropriately
terminated ground lead must be installed at all times.
TIP: To ensure an adequate ground connection, mating surfaces should be cleaned to a bright
metal finish and an antioxidant applied before connections are made.
Network Cabling
Intra-building connections of the HP Proliant DL-series Carrier-Grade Servers require the use of
shielded cables grounded at both ends.
CAUTION: The intra-building ports of the equipment are suitable for connection to intra-building
or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building ports of the equipment must not be
metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the Outside Plant (OSP) or its wiring. These
interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports, as described
in GR-1089–CORE, Issue 4) and requires isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition
of primary protectors is not sufficient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP
wiring.
