3.8 Installing the Cable Management Arm

The cable management arm (CMA) is an optional assembly that you can use to route the server cables in the rack.

To install the optional CMA, complete the following steps:

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 Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine.

   Note:

   References to left or right in this procedure assume that you are facing the back of the equipment rack.

3. Remove tape to separate the parts of the CMA.
4. Insert the CMA's mounting bracket connector into the right slide-rail until the connector locks into place with an audible click, as shown in Figure 3-9.
