Feature codes for overhead cable management (top-exit bracket)
Use this feature code to order cable management for overhead cabling (top exit bracket) for your model
994, 996, or E96.
Note: In addition to the top-exit bracket, one ladder (feature code 1101) must also be purchased for a
site where the top-exit bracket for fiber cable feature is used. The ladder is used to ensure safe access
when your storage system is serviced with a top-exit bracket feature installed.
