Cabling Multiple 2U Systems in a Rack

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview This document provides information about the best way to cable multiple 2-U systems in a rack. Although the instructions pertain to cabling multiple systems (as many as 21 in a 42-U rack) in a rack, the cabling practices in this document are applicable even if you are installing only one system. Applying these cabling techniques will help you minimize the space required for your system cables and fully utilize the available space in the rack. Additionally, it will prevent problems such as cables being cut or multiple servers coming out the rack when you pull only one.
