Cable Management Guidelines
As the library expands to support larger configurations, it is important to
restrain and organize cables and power cords on the rear of the library.
Doing so ensures that the rear of the library remains accessible and
reduces the possibility that cables become damaged.
Use this section to find cable management guidelines and best practices
for power cords and Ethernet cables. Use the equipment specified in the
Cable Management Kit
section below. For recommended cabling of tape
drives, see
