Installing The Cable-Management Bracket; Connecting The Expansion Units And Disk Drives - IBM 8408-E8D Manual

Installing the cable-management bracket

Use the cable management bracket if you intend to provide extensive organization for the cables and
cords connecting to the system.
Note: The following situations might prevent the installation of the cable-management bracket:
v The cable management bracket cannot be installed in rack model (7014-S25) due to insufficient
clearance space between the bracket shelf and door.
v The cable management bracket cannot be installed with features that require the same physical space,
such as the earthquake kit.
v The cable management bracket might not be able to be installed in racks that contain additional
customer hardware.
The cable management bracket is designed for installation in standard 482.6 cm (19 inch) rack cabinets.
However, the use of other rack designs, or of additional rack features, or of additional customer
hardware might prevent the installation of the cable management bracket.
1. At the rear of the rack, hold the cable management bracket so that its mounting flanges align with
holes in the system chassis.
2. Tighten the two thumbscrews to attach the cable management bracket to the system chassis.
