Verify Operation of the Slide Rails and the CMA

Prerequisites:
  • Two people are needed to verify the operation of the slide rails and the cable management arm (CMA): one to move the Pilot in and out of the rack and one to observe the cables and CMA.

  • To reduce the risk of personal injury, stabilize the expansion rack cabinet and extend all anti-tilt devices before extending the Pilot from the rack.

Caution
Work with a partner or use a mechanical lift for assistance. The Pilot weighs approximately 18.1 kilograms (39.9 pounds). Two people are required to carry the chassis.
  1. Slowly pull the Pilot out of the rack until the slide rails reach their stops.
  2. Verify that the CMA extends fully from the slide rails.
  3. Push the Pilot back into the rack.
    When the Pilot is fully extended, you must release two sets of slide rail stops to return the Pilot to the rack:
    • The first set of stops are levers, located on the inside of each slide rail, just behind the back panel of the Pilot. These levers are labeled “PUSH.” Push in both levers simultaneously, and slide the Pilot toward the rack. The chassis slides in approximately 46 cm (18 inches) and stops. Verify that the cables and the CMA retract without binding before you continue.

    • The second set of stops are the slide rail release buttons, located near the front of each mounting bracket. Simultaneously push both of the green slide-rail release buttons, and push the Pilot completely into the rack until both slide-rail locks engage.

  4. Adjust the cable straps and CMA, as required.
