EMC Fibre Channel Disk-Array Processor Enclosure (DPE) Hardware Reference
Installing a Rackmount DPE
• Avoid tight bends. If you need to make a 90º bend, do it over 6
to 12 inches.
• Do not use optical cables to support weight. That includes
long cable runs without support.
• Do not pull long runs of cable. It is best to lay the cable in
place or pull only a few feet at a time.
• Run the cables so that they are not stepped on or rolled over
by anything.
