Caution:
Verify that the controller is securely mounted in the rack and that the slide-rail
locks are engaged with the mounting brackets before continuing, or equipment
damage or possibly injury could occur.
Installing an Oracle ZFS Storage ZS5-4 Cable Management
Arm
Use the following procedure to install the cable management arm (CMA) for an Oracle ZFS
Storage ZS5-4 controller.
The CMA is an optional assembly that you can use to route the controller cables in the rack.
This procedure is completed from the back of the rack.
Before You Begin
Unpack the CMA and identify its components.
To prepare for installing the optional cable management arm (CMA), follow these guidelines:
•
Route cluster cables, long-term host cables (including InfiniBand, Fibre Channel, and
Ethernet cables) and up to 16 disk shelf SAS cables through the CMA. Older CMAs,
generally before 2018, only have a maximum capacity of 12 SAS cables.
•
Do not route short SAS daisy chain cables through the CMA. Do not route an excess of
cables such that the CMA clamps bow or appear structurally unfit to support the weight.
•
If using two clustered controllers mounted in the middle of the rack with disk shelves
located above and below them, you can divide the disk shelf SAS cables between the
two CMAs so they properly route to the upper and lower disk shelves.
•
If later removing the CMA, be sure to support it as you remove the connectors.
1.
Insert the CMA mounting bracket connector (1) into the right slide rail (2) until the
connector locks into place with an audible click.
