5.8 Cables and Modules
5.8.1 Networking Cable Installation
All cables can be inserted or removed with the unit powered on.
To insert a cable, press the connector into the port receptacle until the connector is firmly
seated.
Support the weight of the cable before connecting the cable to the DPU/SuperNIC. Do
this by using a cable holder or tying the cable to the rack.
Determine the correct orientation of the connector to the DPU/SuperNIC before
inserting the connector. Do not try and insert the connector upside down. This may
damage the DPU/SuperNIC.
Insert the connector into the DPU/SuperNIC . Be careful to insert the connector
straight into the cage. Do not apply any torque, up or down, to the connector cage in
the DPU/SuperNIC.
Make sure that the connector locks in place.
After inserting a cable into a port, the Green LED indicator will light when the physical
connection is established (that is, when the unit is powered on and a cable is plugged into
the port with the other end of the connector plugged into a functioning port). See
Networking Ports LEDs interface under theSupported Interfacessection.
When installing cables make sure that the latches engage.
Always install and remove cables by pushing or pulling the cable and
connector in a straight line with the DPU.
