Method B
1. Working back from where cable enters shelf (at cable gland), carefully dress cable toward opposite side of
shelf. Route cable over slide rail, taking care to not exceed minimum bend radius.
2. From shelf slide, route cable to equipment rack and loosely secure cable to rack upright approximately
3 inches (76mm) above or below shelf, using a cable tie or hook-and-loop strip.
3. Verify that shelf retracts and extends fully before proceeding.
