Route the Power Cords and Management Cables

The facility power receptacles for the power cords should be located such that the power cords are routed out of the way.

1. Identify the prerequisite and subsequent installation tasks that you must perform in conjunction with this task.

   See Installation Task Overview.

2. Route the female end of the power cords up from the power distribution panel or receptacles at the rear of the rack.
3. Route the network management cable and serial management cable (if a full-time serial management cable will be used) from their respective hubs, concentrators, or switches, to the rack.
4. Route the cords and management cables to the left rear side where you are installing the switch.
5. Add at least 8 inches of slack to the cable lengths to enable connection and disconnection with the switch power receptacles, the SER MGT connector, the PrizmMT connectors, and the RJ-45 connectors.
6. Secure the cables to the rack mounting location with this additional slack.

   Use hook and loop fastener straps to bundle and secure the cables.

7. Install the switch.
