Attaching the Cable
Management Arm
A double-hinged cable management arm and fasteners ship with each server.
The cable management arm attaches to the server's cable management arm
bracket and to the rear frame of the rack. All cables to and from the server are
tied to this arm. The two hinges allow the cable management arm with attached
cables to swing out of the way when you need to access the server pull-out
trays.
1. For easier handling, first slide the server into the rack, then attach the
cable management arm to the cable management arm bracket. If you
attach the arm before loading the server in the rack, the arm may swing
around and interfere with the loading process.
2. After you have loaded the server into the rack, attach one end of the
cable management arm to the server's cable management arm bracket
using two M6 x 1.0-12L Phillips screws. Align the arm to the bracket as
shown in the following figure.

arm bracket
3. Align the other end of the cable management arm on the outside of the
rear brace of the rack. Align a screw retaining plate on the inside of the
rack. Attach the arm to the rack with two 10-32 x 5/8-inch Phillips
washer-face hex-head screws.
