Attach Cable Guides & Cables
The Fabric cables are high performance impedance-controlled cables with protective shielding, and due to the
thickness and stiffness of the cables, HP recommends that Cable Guides be installed prior to attaching cables
to minimize stress on the connectors for both switch and HCA cabling.
The Fabric cables should be securely attached to the rack enclosure. HP recommends the use of the included
E7723-60003 Cable Guide Installation Kit mounted in a horizontal fashion as depicted below in Figure 4-9. A
second Cable Guide is included and it can be installed in the horizontal or vertical position to better guide &
support the cables for either the switch or HCA. Cable Guide Installation Instructions are provided as a
separate document included with the Cable Guides.
