Installing the Cable Management Assembly

The cable management assembly shipped with the Fabric Interconnect F1-15 is the standard CMA used in Oracle 4-post equipment racks. The CMA consists of the following parts:

  • two stand-off brackets, which attach to the equipment rack.

  • the comb, which is a crenelated metal piece that has “slots” in which cables rest. This piece attaches to the two stand-off brackets.

  • the plate, which is a flat metal piece that covers the top of the “slots” in the comb so that cables cannot be accidentally lifted out of the slots in the comb.

  • screws of different types (M6, 10-32, or 12-24) that match with many common types of equipment rack. Be aware that racks can be either tapped or not. If the rack is not tapped, to install the CMA, you will need to use either cage nuts with the M6 screws, or locking washers with the 12-24 screws


    Note - The CMA must be installed after the Fabric Interconnect is installed because the stand-off brackets for the CMA will prevent the rack-mount brackets for the Fabric Interconnect chassis form being installed. Make sure to install the Fabric Interconnect completely before attempting to install the CMA.
