4.7.1.2 When One External I/O Expansion Unit Mounted
This section provides an example of the cable routing procedure applied when one external
I/O expansion unit is mounted in the rack space for the M8000 server.
Cable Routing Procedure
The cable routing procedure explained below is an example of the recommended procedure.
This section explains the recommended cable routing procedure in an example using a
configuration in which one external I/O expansion unit is mounted and 34 LAN cables are
connected to the external I/O expansion unit.
When actually routing cables, perform the work properly with reference to this procedure
while following the precautions for cable routing.
Hook-and-loop Fasteners Used
This procedure specifies only the short and long hook-and-loop fasteners recommended for
use. During actual cable routing, use the type of hook-and-loop fastener appropriate for the
number of cables to be bound.
1. Run all the cables connected to the external I/O expansion unit along the right route.
