The cable management arm (CMA) is an optional assembly that you can use to route the server cables in the rack.
Use this procedure to install the optional CMA.
Note - References to “left” or “right” in this procedure assume that you are facing the back of the equipment rack.
The CMA rail extension might be taped to the CMA arm.

Note - Support the CMA in the remaining installation steps. Do not allow the arm to hang by its own weight until it is secured by all three attachment points.
