Cabling the Dell™ PowerEdge™ R710
Figure 3: Routing the Cables Through the CMA
NOTE: Do not store excess
cable slack inside the CMA.
The cable may protrude
through the CMA causing
binding and potentially
damaging the cable.
3. Once all the cables are routed through the CMA, dress the cables between the back of the system and the
entrance of the CMA with the tie wraps provided in the CMA kit. The tie wraps are shown in yellow in all
illustrations.
4. Clip off the excess length of material from the tie wraps and make sure that the tie wraps are positioned to
avoid interference with adjacent systems.
5. Return the CMA to the closed (retracted) position.
6. Extend the system from the rack to verify there is sufficient slack in the cables at both the entrance and exit of
the CMA.
7. See Figure 4 for an example of a completed left side mounted CMA installation.
Cables entering CMA should
have a small amount of slack
to avoid cable strain when
CMA is extended.
