HP 16/18-Port Cable Management Kit
Installation Guide
Abstract
This document describes how to attach the HP 16–Port or 18–Port Cable Management Kit to an HP rack. The cable management
bracket is designed to align and support the cables that lead from an HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure's 16–port or 18–port
InfiniBand switch mounted in the rear of the chassis to another c-Class InfiniBand switch or an InfiniBand interconnect installed
in an adjacent rack. The cable management bracket currently supports the HP BLc QLogic 4X QDR InfiniBand Switch
(505958-B21) and the HP BLc 4X FDR InfiniBand Switch (648312-B21), but it can potentially be used for other configurations,
as deemed necessary.
