You can now connect the network cables.
Organize the cables
Procedure overview
If you do not want to use the cable management arm (CMA), use the two hook and loop straps
provided in the rail kit to organize the power and network cables.
Note:
Make sure you have sufficient slack in the cables to fully extend the enclosure from the rack until the
rails are safely locked in the extended position.
Procedure
1.
Insert the outer CMA brackets on the interior sides of both rack flanges.
2.
Gather the cables on each side of the enclosure into bundles.
3.
Thread the hook and loop straps through the tooled slots on the outer CMA brackets on each side of
the enclosure and secure the cable bundles.
For more information, see the
Cable Management Arm Installation Instructions
supplied in the cable
management kit.
