Verify Operation of Slide-Rails and Cable Management Arm
Note -
If necessary, bundle the cables with additional Velcro straps to ensure that they stay clear
of other equipment. If you need to install additional Velcro straps, wrap the straps around the
cables only, not around any of the CMA components; otherwise, expansion and contraction of
the CMA slide bars might be hindered when the storage server is extended from the rack and
returned to the rack.

Use the following procedure to ensure that the slide-rails and CMA are operating correctly.
Note -
Two people should perform this procedure: one to move the storage server in and out of
the rack, and one to observe the cables and CMA.
1. To prevent the rack from tipping forward when the storage server is extended,
extend all rack anti-tilt devices.
Caution -
To reduce the risk of personal injury, stabilize the rack cabinet and extend all anti-tilt
devices before extending the storage server from the rack. For instructions for stabilizing the
rack, see “Stabilize the Rack for Installation” on page 29 .

stops.
3. Inspect the attached cables for any binding or kinks.
