Apple G5 specifications Attach the Cable-Management Arm to the Support Brace

Note: You may need to bend the cord near its plug to fit it into the server. Bending the cord will not affect its operation.

Attach the power cord retainer clip to the two loops on the back of the server. Snap the cord into the clip so that it cradles the cord.

8Connect the other end of the cables to the appropriate devices.

9Close the server and tighten the thumbscrews to secure it in the rack.

10After all connections are complete, plug the power cord into a power source.

Warning: This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your server is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug fits only a grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet because the outlet is not grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug!

Because you are installing the server in a rack with other equipment, be certain that the power outlet and any other equipment, such as a power strip, used with the rack is designed to carry the electrical load of multiple devices. Check the documentation for your rack for any special instructions.

For details on disconnecting cables from the server’s back panel, see “Disconnecting Cables From the Server’s Back Panel” on page 55.

With the server in the rack and the cables in place, you can prepare to set up the Mac OS X Server software.

Attach the Cable-Management Arm to the Support Brace

If the rear posts of your rack are more than an inch away from the server’s back panel, you need to attach the cable-management arm to the support brace at the left side of the server (not to the rear post). Otherwise the arm will not extend properly when you open the server in the rack.
