Install the cable management bracket to provide organization for the cables and cords
connecting to the system.
About this task
To install the cable management bracket, complete the following steps:
Procedure
Two cable management bars are included with the system. One bar is wider than the other. The
wider bar is used in racks that have a shorter depth (like the 7014-T42 rack). The shorter bar is
used in racks that have a longer depth (like the 7965-S42 rack). Choose the cable management bar
that matches the depth of the rack that you have.
Each cable management bracket takes up three EIA units. Three screws are used to attach each
side of the cable management bracket to the rack flange. Each screw goes in the middle hole of each
of the three EIA rack units. The screws are installed on the inside of the rack flange. Using a
sticker or pen, mark the locations on the inside of the rack flange where the cable management
bracket screws will be installed.
Assemble the cable management bracket by attaching the cable management bar to the cable
management brackets, using two M3 screws (D), as shown in Figure 1.
Attach the cable management bracket to the rack. To attach the cable management bracket to the
rack, complete the following steps:
At the rear of the rack, hold one side of the assembled cable management bracket
(A) against the rack flange. Ensure that the bracket aligns with the
locations that you marked in step 2.
From inside of the rack, install three screws (B) through the rack
flanges and into the cable management bracket (A), as shown in Figure 1.
Repeat this step for the opposite side of the cable management bracket.
Adjust the cable management bracket according to your needs by pulling the thumbscrews
(C) and tilting the bracket, as shown in Figure 1.
