Abstract
How to manage and label the cables
Content
Cable management and labeling are increasingly important. Cable management and labeling needs have expanded from the traditional labeling of network connections to labeling most cable connections among the servers, disk subsystems, multiple network connections, power configurations, and video subsystems. Examples include fibre-channel configurations, server switch fabrics, multiple unique switch fabrics located in the same rack or across multiple racks, and switch fabrics where components might not be physically located in the same room, building, or site. The necessity for detailed cable management and labeling is due to the complexity of today's configurations and the potential distances between components. Benefits from more detailed cable management and labeling include:
- Ease of installation
- Ongoing switch fabric and systems management
- Increased serviceability
Be sure to label the cables. Follow this link for detailed instructions on how to label the IBM Netfinity switch fabric.
