Identify the prerequisite and subsequent service tasks you must perform in conjunction with this procedure.
Determine your next steps:
Inspect the replacement InfiniBand cable.
Bring the replacement cable to the switch.
Feed the cable through the cable management hardware.
Orient the cable connector to the CXP receptacle squarely and horizontally.
Ensure that the upper shell just touches the underside of the top of the receptacle on the rear panel.
Slowly move the connector in.
As you slide the connector in, the top of the shell should scrape against the underside of the top of the CXP receptacle.
Continue to push the connector in until the hooks catch onto the top of the receptacle.
Secure the cable into the cable management hardware.
Close hook-and-loop fasteners at bundles and securing hard points.
If you are installing all cables as part of a switch replacement procedure, repeat from Step 5 for all cables, working your way from right to left.
Replace the cover for the cable management bracket and tighten the thumbscrews.
