Sun Microsystems EC000066 manual Cabling, Installing the cable management arm

CABLING

Caution – To prevent damage to the server or physical injury, if you are using a lift, keep the lift under the server. If you are manually installing the server, hold handles on each side of the server.

9.Test the operation of the slide-rails by slowly pulling the server out of the rack until the slide-rails reach their stops.

10.Test the operation of the slide-rails by pushing the server back into the rack until it reaches the internal stops.

11.Push the middle rail release button on each slide-rail while you simultaneously push the server past the stops.

12.Continue pushing the server fully into the rack until the slide-rail locks engage.

13.If you depopulated the server of components, reinstall the components that were removed. Make sure to replace hard disk drives in the same locations from which they were removed.

Cabling

To provide power and network connectivity to the VTL appliance, carry out the following tasks:

■“Installing the cable management arm” on page 16

■“Routing and connecting cables” on page 20.

Installing the cable management arm

The cable management arm (CMA) is optional, but highly recommended. The CMA protects I/O and power cables from damage that might otherwise occur when you slide the server in and out of the rack. The CMA kit includes the following components:

■an outer rail extension that, when viewed from the rear of the server, mounts the cable management arm on the right outer rail

■a bracket that connects the cable management arm to the chassis

■the cable management arm itself.

Use one CMA for each appliance. Never run cables from one appliance through a CMA attached to another server.
