Figure 1-9. Routing the Power Cords

CAUTION: Allow some slack in each cable as you route them around hinges in the

cable-management arm.

Routing Cables

1 Attach the I/O cable connectors to their respective connectors on the system back

panel.

For details on cable connections, see your system’s Installation and Troubleshooting

Guide and the User’s Guide.

2 Route the power and I/O cables through the cable-management arm, using four

loosely secured tie-wraps (two in the middle and one on each end of the cable-

management arm). Do not fully tighten the tie-wraps at this time (see Figure 1-10).

Allow some cable slack in the cable-management arm to prevent damage to the cables.

3 Secure the cables to the cable-management arm:

a After connecting the cables to the system, unscrew the thumbscrews that secure

the front of the system to the front vertical rail.

b Slide the system forward to the fully extended position.

c Route the cables along the cable-management arm, make any adjustments

needed to the cable slack at the hinge positions, secure the cables to the cable-

management arm with the tie-wraps, and close the wire covers over the

cable-management arm.
