Figure 3-35 Routing I/O Cables
Use the following procedure and guidelines to route cables through the cable groomer at the bottom rear of
the cabinet.
Step 1. Remove the cable access plate at the bottom of the groomer.
Step 2. Beginning at the front of the cabinet, route the cables using the following pattern:
a. Route the first cable on the left side of the leftmost card cage first. Route it under the PCI-X
card cage toward the back of the cabinet and down through the first slot at the right of the cable
groomer.
b. Route the second cable on the left side of the leftmost card cage to the right of the first cable,
and so on, until routing all of the cables in the card cage is complete.
The number and width of cables vary from system to system. Use judgment and the customer’s
present and estimated future needs to determine how many cables to route through each cable
groomer slot.
c. After routing the leftmost card cage at the front of the cabinet, route the cables in the rightmost
card cage at the back of the cabinet. Begin with the right cable in the card cage and work toward
the left.
d. After routing the cables in the rightmost card cage at the rear of the cabinet, return to the front
of the system and route the cables in the next card cage to the right.
e. Repeat steps a through d until all the cables are routed.
