Managing Power Cords
7
Power cord management is important especially for the larger, expanded
library configurations. A 41U library with redundant power (the
maximum configuration) may contain as many as 10 power supply units
with 10 power cords to manage.
To organize power cords on the rear of the library, mount a black hook-
and-loop fastener to each module and then secure the power cords with
the fastener.
Power cords and power cord hook-and-loop fasteners that are shipped
with the library are black in color.
You can apply the following procedure to any library that contains at
least one expansion module.
To secure a power cord to the library frame:
1
Facing the rear of the library, locate a specific hole that is drilled into
the back of the expansion module for the hook-and-loop fastener.
This hole is located on the rear of the library, about three inches from
the top of the expansion module near the right side of the library
chassis. Refer to the illustration below to locate this hole.
2
Insert a push rivet into the rivet hole on the black hook-and-loop
fastener. The head of the rivet should be on the same side of the
fastener as the plastic loop.
3
Firmly press the push rivet through the hole in the expansion module
described above. The hook-and-loop fastener should now be secured
to the library chassis.
Adhesive-backed wire saddle cable clamp — For older
library models without drilled holes for push-in wire
saddle clamps. The adhesive-backed wire saddle
clamp secures Ethernet cables to the control module.

Note:
If your module chassis does not have the drilled hole, use an
M5 thumbscrew to attach the black hook-and-loop fastener to
the nearest available M5 threaded hole on the lower right of
any module chassis.
