Begin routing the cables.
Starting with the server mounted on the bottom of the rack, gath-
er its cables in your hand and curve them towards the right. Tie
them with a Velcro™ strap or a cable tie.
4
Secure each cable bundle.
Gently guide the cables into the trough of the cable management
arm, following the suggestions in the installation instructions.
Where they emerge from the arm, secure the bundle to one of
the arm supports with a Velcro™ strap or a cable tie. Make sure
that the power cords are easily identified and can be routed sepa-
rately from the remaining cables.
5
Route the cables to their destination.
Systems are generally designed for specific requirements and will
differ from each other. But when multiple servers are mounted
in a rack, most KVM (or console switch), peripheral and LAN
cables are routed down towards the floor and out through the
cable opening. Power cords, however, are generally connected to
the appropriate Power Distribution Unit (PDU) within the rack.
As the cables emerge from the cable management arm, guide the
appropriate ones down the right rear post and allow them to be
kept in place by the cable management brackets.
The power cords, however, usually leave the main bundle at
intervals to be connected to the PDUs within the rack. Your par-
ticular requirements will determine where these breakouts occur.
