Cable Routing Procedures for Dell™ PowerEdge™ R910 Systems

Page 2

Introduction

This white paper covers recommended cable routing procedures for Dell™ PowerEdge™ R910

systems in the following racks:

• PowerEdge™ 4210

• PowerEdge™ 2410

• PowerEdge™ 4220

• PowerEdge™ 2420

If you are using the optional CMA, following these procedures will allow you to extend the system

from the rack for service without powering down or disconnecting the cables. If you are not using the

CMA, following these procedures will ensure secure attachment and strain relief of the cables behind

the system. For guidelines on how to route cables within the rack, refer to the Dell

Best Practices

Guide for Rack Enclosure

white paper.

Section 1: Cabling a Dell™ PowerEdge™ R910 With a Cable Management

Arm (CMA)

This section details how to cable a PowerEdge™ R910 system using a CMA. If you are cabling the

system without the optional CMA, refer to Section 2.

Follow the instructions contained in the

Rack Installation Guide

in the rail kit to install the server into

the rack. Once installed, use these instructions to install the cables. All illustrations in the following

sections were created using a PowerEdge™ R910 system.

NOTE: PowerEdge™ R910 systems are not compatible with previous generation rails and CMAs.

1.1

Connecting the CMA Cables to the System

Attach the CMA tray to the back of the rails as described in the

CMA Installation Instructions

provided

in the CMA kit. Connect all applicable cables to the rear of the system and verify that all connections

are secure. See Figure 1.
