Connect the Cables to Controller 2

  1. Slide Controller 2 into service position.
  2. Connect the power cords with C13-to-C14 straight connectors to the power supplies on Controller 2, and route the power cords through the cable management arm (CMA).
  3. Connect the end of the cable labeled “CU2 NET 3” to the NET 3 port on Controller 2, and route the cable through the CMA.
    Note: The other end of this cable was connected to the NET 1 port on the Pilot when you cabled the Pilot.
  4. Connect the end of the cable labeled “CU 2 NET 2” to the NET 2 port on Controller 2, and route the cable through the cable management arm (CMA).
  5. Connect the end of the cable labeled “CU2 NET MGT” to the NET MGT port on Controller 2, and route the cable through the CMA.
  6. Connect the end of the cable labeled “CU 2 <- - ->” to the cluster interconnect network port on Controller 2, and route the cable through the CMA.
  7. Spool any unconnected ends of the cables in a logical manner and use Velcro to attach the spools to a temporary location on the rack rail.

    Attaching the spooled ends of the cables to the rack rail provides a temporary strain relief to reduce the amount of stress on the cable connectors and ports. Make sure to leave enough cable slack to ensure that the chassis can be extended into the service position and returned to the rack position without interference from the cables.

  8. Slide the chassis into the rack position and into the service position several times to ensure that the chassis can be extended into the service position without interference from the cables.
    Caution
    If the cables become snagged while the chassis is extended into the service position, damage to the motherboard might occur.
