HP StorageWorks SAN Director Installation Guide (A7393-90009, May 2007)

SAN Director installation guide 59
Cable guides (pillars)
Cable guides (pillars) are provided with the 4/256 SAN Director, and can be used to organize the
port cables into logical groups, such as according to port quads (sets of four neighboring ports).
The cable guides do not attach to the chassis (see Figure 14).
NOTE: Cable pillars are not supported when using the FC4-32 or FC4-48 port blades because the
cable count is too dense, leaving no room for the cable pillars. Instead, you should use velcro tabs
to group cables for the FC4-32 or FC4-48 port blades
Figure 14 Cable guides (pillars) used to group cables
The cable guides serve to keep the cables evenly spaced and to hold them away from the port
blades, making card replacement easier and preventing the cables from bending to less than the
minimum bend radius.
