Route the Power Cords

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 cords across the rack ceiling to the front of the rack.
4. Route the cords down through the vertical support, so that the female end rests at the location where the switch will install.
5. Add about 3 inches of slack to enable connection and disconnection with the switch power supply receptacles.
6. Secure the power cord to this vertical length, so that it does not drop any farther.

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

7. Consider your next task.
   • If you will have a full-time SER MGT connection, route the SER MGT cable.

     See Route the SER MGT Cable.

   • If the SER MGT connection is only temporary for installation, install the switch now.

     See Install the Switch.
