4.Secure the cables.

Route the cables along the cable-management arm, and secure the cables to the cable-management arm with the Velcro strips attached to the arm.

5.Slide the computer into and out of the rack to verify that the cables are routed correctly.

Make sure that the cables are not pinched in the cable-management arm joints.

NOTES: You will feel resistance as the rails thread themselves into the ball- bearing cages in the slide assemblies—this resistance is normal. Continue to push the computer inward until it slides completely into the rack and is fully seated. (You may have to pull the computer partially out and push it back into the rack to fully thread the ball-bearing cages.) When the computer is fully inserted in the rack, the back of the four captive thumbscrews should mate with the cage nuts on the rack’s front vertical rails.

As you pull the computer out to its furthest extension, the slide assemblies will lock in the extended position. To push the computer back into the rack, press the green push buttons near the front of both interior slides (see Figure 10) and simultaneously push in on the computer.

To reverse the installation of the cable-management arm, perform the following steps:

1.Turn over the cable-management arm (see Figure 13).

2.Remove the pull pins from the offset hinge of the cable-management arm.

3.Remove the rail-mounting plate.

NOTE: Make note of the orientation of the rail-mounting plate to the vertical rail.

4.Pull the hinge away from the cable-management arm assembly.

5.Position the opposite side of the offset hinge next to the cable-management arm assembly.

6.Replace the pull pin with the ring facing up.

7.Replace the rail-mounting plate in the same orientation to the vertical rail.

8.Replace the second pull pin with the ring facing up.

Follow the procedure for the installation of the cable-management arm. The opposite vertical rail and the opposite side of the cable tray are used for reverse installation of the cable-management arm.
