in Figure 29 on page 34.
If you attach the arm properly and route the cables properly, the arm
swings into the rack as you pull the node forward in the rack, opening to
allow the cables to follow the node toward the front of the rack. You can
perform some service procedures without disconnecting the Fibre Channel
cables and the Ethernet cables. You can also perform some service
procedures without turning off the node or disconnecting the power cables.
b. Secure the cables with cable ties or hook-and-loop fasteners.
Note:
Leave some slack in all of the cables to avoid tension in the cables as the
cable-management arm moves.
