Installing cable management assembly (IBM SSR task)
The cable management assembly (CMA) aids in better routing and securing of the system’s cabling. The
CMA enables the storage enclosure easily slid in and out of the rack for drive installation or replacement
without disconnecting the cables from the power supply units (PSU) or server canisters. A properly
installed CMA prevents cable tangling and interference with other components in the rack, allowing for
smooth operation of the rails.
