Restoring the Cabinet
1. Replace the front and back doors of the cabinet, if applicable.
See the instructions provided with the cabinet.
2. If you removed the side panels from the cabinet, do not replace them until you
connect and route the server cables.
Caution – To prevent the cabinet from tipping forward, do not attempt to roll or
!
move the cabinet after installing the server in the cabinet.
Managing Cables
You will need to develop a cable management scheme that is customized for your
installation. The Sun Fire 880 server rackmounting kit provides several tools that
may aid you in managing the server power cords and cables:
Cable management bracket (with integrated releasable tie wraps) that attaches to
I
the rear of the server. See "Attach the Server Cable Management Bracket" on
page en-16.
Cable management bracket (with separate releasable tie wraps) that attaches to
I
the rear of the cabinet. See "Attach the Cable Management Bracket to the Cabinet"
on page en-32.
Three universal power jumper cords that enable you to provide additional slack
I
in the server power cords. See the following general guidelines for more
information.
In addition, some cabinets have cable management features or optional cable
management accessories.
The following are general guidelines for routing and managing the server cables:
Allow enough slack in the server power cords and cables so that the tray
I
assembly can be fully extended from the front of the cabinet for service access. If
the server power cords are too short for your particular installation, three
universal jumper cords, provided with the rackmounting kit, allow you to gain
the additional slack needed. One end of a jumper cord plugs into a Sun Fire 880
server power supply; the other end of the jumper cord plugs into a Sun Fire 880
server power cord. The server power cord then plugs into an AC power source.
