Node cable routing in enclosure

Follow the instructions in this section to learn how to do cable routing for node cables in an enclosure.

Note

  • Connections between connectors; 1↔1, 2↔2, 3↔3, ... n↔n

  • When routing the cables, ensure that all cables are routed appropriately through the cable guides and cable clips.

When ThinkEdge SE100 nodes are installed in an 1U2N enclosure or an 1U3N enclosure, make sure that the cables from rear I/O connectors and the cables from expansion kit are routed properly. Complete the following steps to do node cable routing in enclosure.

Procedure
  1. Remove the following components that are installed on the enclosure and put them in a safe, static protective place.

  2. Remove the crossbar from the enclosure.

    1. Loosen the two captive screws that secure the crossbar.
    2. Hold the crossbar and remove it from the enclosure.
    Figure 1. Removing the crossbar

  3. Loosen the two screws that secure the rear bracket; then, remove the rear bracket from the enclosure.
