Cabling instructions assume that the racks are adjacent to each other. If they are not, longer cables are required for the rack-to-rack connections. See Network Infrastructure Requirements.
For specifications, see Ethernet Management Switch Cabling Reference.
For cables that go from one cabinet to another, you can route the cables through the top or bottom of the cabinets. Routing options are described in the SPARC M5-32 and SPARC M6-32 Installation Guide. See Hardware Installation Documents.
Route the cables in a bundle into the CMA to ensure that all the cables fit in the CMA.
Refer to the ZFS Storage ZS3-ES Appliance Installation Guide. See Hardware Installation Documents.
Locate excess cable length either on top of the cabinets or under the raised floor.
