8. Carefully rotate storage disk assembly (see 

Figure 13

) to take up excess length. Finger

holes are provided to facilitate rotation of disk assembly.

9. As storage disk assembly is rotated, carefully guide patch cord slack into disk assembly to

prevent kinks from forming.

10. When all slack is taken up, push storage disk assembly slowly into chassis. Rotate disk

assembly as it is pushed into chassis to take up any additional slack that forms.

11. Push inward on the end of each snap tab until tab snaps closed.

12. Complete a designation label for the stored patch cord and apply label to front edge of

storage disk assembly.

13. Repeat procedure for each patch cord to be stored. Close front cover when complete.

14. When opening a storage disk assembly that is storing a patch cord, rotate disk assembly to

feed out slack as disk assembly is withdrawn from the chassis.

Using the Storage Tray Panel

Use the following procedure to store excess patch cord length in a Storage Tray Panel:

1. Adjust patch cord slack so that excess length is accumulated at the storage panel.

2. Open panel front cover and select storage tray assembly that will be used to store the

excess patch cord length. 

3. Each tray is hinged on the left. Pull outward on the extended tab located on the right hand

corner of the tray assembly until tray swings open.

4. Swing storage tray assembly out of the chassis by pulling outward on the extended tab.
