17. Repeat steps 8 through 18 for the nodes in frame slots 4 and 3v The wire tie for the node in frame slot 4 uses the tie base mounted on the node shelf for frame slot2v Switch cables for the node in frame slot 3 are not fastened to a tie base18. Without plugging the switch cables into the SNI ports, take the switch cables for the node in frameslot 2 and raise them into positiona. Check the cable labels and verify that you have the correct cables for each SNI portb. Make certain that the cable for the upper SNI port extends further than the cable for the lower SNIportc. Place the wire tie far enough down the cable set so that the cables will have sufficient length for agentle bend radiusd. Wire tie the cable pair togethere. Switch cables for the node in frame slot 2 are not fastened to a tie base19. Clamp the switch cable pair for the node in frame slot 2 into the tailgate using a rubber-faced, tailgateinsert with the appropriate thickness of rubber (refer to Figure 4 on page 165)Note: Make certain that the cable pair is located as close to the rear of the frame as possible. Doingso will allow you to optimize the cable bend radius.20. Connect the switch cables to the SNI ports on the node in frame slot 221. Without plugging the switch cables into the SNI ports, take the switch cables for the node in frameslot 1 and raise them into positiona. Check the cable labels and verify that you have the correct cables for each SNI portb. Make certain that the cable for the upper SNI port extends further than the cable for the lower SNIportc. Place the wire tie far enough down the cable set so that the cables will have sufficient length for agentle bend radiusd. Wire tie the cable pair togethere. Switch cables for the node in frame slot 1 are not fastened to a tie base22. Clamp the switch cable pair for the node in frame slot 1 into the tailgate using a rubber-faced, tailgateinsert with the appropriate thickness of rubber (refer to Figure 4 on page 165)Note: Make certain that the cable pair is located as close to the rear of the frame as possible. Doingso will allow you to optimize the cable bend radius.23. Connect the switch cables to the SNI ports on the node in frame slot 124. If they are used, clamp the I/O cables into the tailgate using tailgate insertsv Depending on the number and size of the I/O cables, you may have to use one or two tailgateslots and clamping inserts25. Clamp the HMC and Ethernet cables into the last tailgate slot using a tailgate insert (refer to Figure 3on page 164)26. Insert foam block tailgate inserts into any open tailgate slotsIf you have properly cabled the frame, the cable layout should look like Figure 6 on page 170.Appendix H.
