4 Connect cables and power cords

Overview

NOTE:

If you have ordered the factory integrated product, skip this section and go to Chapter 5.

To connect cables and power cords:

1. Read the cabling best practices.

2. Attach Fibre Channel and/or LAN cables to controller, drives, and servers.

3. Label all cables using the supplied cable labeling kit.

4. Plug in all power cables.

Cabling best practices

• Use the shortest possible cable between devices. Shorter cables are easier to manage and route

along the back of the rack. In addition, shorter cables reduce the possibility of signal degradation

that may occur over longer distances.

• Gather the cables in the rear of the EVA to ensure that the cabling in the back of the rack system

does not interfere with system operation or maintenance. Bind the cables loosely with cable ties

and route the excess cables out of the way, along the side of the rack. When the cables are tied

together and routed down the side of the rack, system components and indicators are easily visible

and accessible.

• Attach a label near both ends of each cable to identify the device connected to that cable. Include

the device type, device name, port, or other information that you think will be helpful.

• Use colored markers to color code both ends of each cable, to help you visually identify a partic-

ular cable without having to read or locate the label.

• In multipath configurations, you may want to loosely bind the matching pair of cables connecting

devices.

Connecting the Fibre Channel cables

To connect the EVA to the SAN, use standard Fibre Channel cables, observing the following caution

for good cabling-handling practices.
