Installing the cable-management arms

The cable-management arms (CMA) are used to efficiently route the cables so that you can pull the enclosure out to change a fan module without needing to unplug any cables. Use the procedure to install the CMA.

About this task

To install the cable-management arms, complete the following steps.

1. The enclosure includes two cable-management arms. Install one arm on each side of the rear of the enclosure.

   

2. Squeeze point [1], and insert the inner cable-management arm tab into the inner mounting bracket at the end of the inner rail. Push until it clicks into place.
3. Squeeze point [2], and insert the outer cable-management arm tab into the outer mounting bracket at the end of the outer rail. Push until it clicks into place.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install the second cable-management arm on the other side.

What to do next

As you cable the control enclosure, route each cable through the CMAs, as shown in Figure 2.
