Planning for Cables
To accommodate cables from your system, make sure to provide:
One or two telephone lines:
– One telephone line for use when calling for service
– One telephone line for the ASN modem, if used
Ethernet jacks, switches, or hubs, as needed
Two electrically separate grounded AC wall outlets, or a UPS and a wall outlet,
within reach of the power cords from the system or PDUs, and additional outlets for
any components that do not connect to a PDU
For optional components, AC wall outlets within reach of the power cords from the
components, or use PDUs
Make sure that cables you plan to connect to the system are long enough to reach
between the system and external components or connections. For information about
specific cables and power cords, see the following:
