Connect the Cables to Pilot 1

  1. Slide Pilot 1 into the service position.
  2. Connect the power cords with C13-to-C14 straight connectors to the power supplies on Pilot 1 and route the power cords through the cable management arm (CMA).
  3. Connect the end of the cable labeled “PLT 1 SER MGT” to the SER MGT port on Pilot 1 and route the cable through the cable management arm (CMA).
  4. Connect the end of the cable labeled “PLT 1 NET 0” to the NET 0 port on Pilot 1 and route the cable through the CMA.
  5. Connect the end of the cable labeled “PLT 1 NET 2” to the NET 2 port on Pilot 1 and route the cable through the CMA.
  6. Connect the end of the cable labeled “PLT 1 NET MGT” to the NET MGT port on Pilot 1 and route the cable through the CMA.
  7. Connect the end of the cable labeled “PLT 1 NET 1” to the NET 1 port on Pilot 1 and route the cable through the CMA.
    Note: The other end of this cable connects to the NET 3 port on the Controller. Do not connect to the Controller at this time.
  8. Connect a customer-supplied Ethernet cable to the NET 3 port on Pilot 1 and route the cable through the CMA.
    Important! The other end of this cable connects to the customer management network. Do not connect to the customer management network at this time. Make sure enough cable length is free from the CMA so that you can connect the cable to the customer management network later. Temporarily secure the cable so that it does not interfere with other cabling steps.
  9. 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.

  10. 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.
