Install Cable Management Arm

This procedure provides instructions for attaching the optional cable management arm (CMA) to the back of the server.

  1. Unpack the CMA parts.
  2. Take the CMA to the back of the equipment rack and ensure that you have adequate room to work around the back of the server.

    Note -  References to “left” or “right” in this procedure assume that you are facing the back of the equipment rack.
  3. Insert the CMA mounting bracket connector into the right slide-rail until the connector locks into place with an audible click.

  6. Install, route, and dress the cables to the server.

    Note -  Instructions for installing the server cables are provided in the Cabling the Server section.
  7. If required, attach the cable hooks and loop straps to the CMA, and press them into place to secure the cables.

    Note -  Cable hooks and loop straps are preinstalled on the CMA. Perform this step if you need to reinstall cable hooks and straps on the CMA.

    For best results, place three cable straps, evenly spaced, on the rear-facing side of the CMA and three cable straps on the side of the CMA nearest the server.
