Attach the CMA to the Server
Before attaching the CMA to the server, ensure that the correct cable covers are installed on the CMA.
-
Prepare the CMA for installation on the server.
See Prepare the CMA for Installation.
-
To make it easier to install the CMA, extend the server approximately 13 cm (5 inches) out of
the front of the rack.
-
Take the CMA to the back of the equipment rack, and ensure that you have adequate room to work
at the back of the server.
Note -
References to “left” or “right” in this procedure assume that you are
facing the back of the equipment rack.
Note -
Throughout this installation procedure, support the CMA and do not allow it to hang under its
own weight until it is secured at all four attachment points.
-
Install the CMA's connector A into the left slide rail.
-
Insert the CMA's connector A into the front slot on the left slide rail until it locks into
place with an audible click (panels 1 and 2).
The connector A tab goes into the slide rail's front slot (panel 1).

-
Prepare the CMA's connector D for installation.
Remove the tape that secures the slide rail
latching bracket to connector D and ensure that the latching bracket is properly aligned with
connector D (panels 1 and 2).
Note -
The CMA is shipped with the slide rail latching bracket taped to connector D. You must remove the tape before you install this connector.
-
Install the CMA's connector D into the left slide rail.
-
While holding the slide rail latching bracket in place, insert connector D and its associated
slide rail latching bracket into the left slide rail until connector D locks into place with an
audible click (panels 1 and 2).
Note -
When inserting connector D into the slide rail, the preferred and easier method is to install
connector D and the latching bracket as one assembly into the slide rail.
-
Gently tug on the left side of the CMA's slide bar to verify that connector D is properly
seated.
Note -
The slide rail latching bracket has a green release tab. This tab is used to release and
remove the latching bracket so that you can remove connector D.
