If your PXE device is designed to use a cable retention clip, install the
clip before connecting a power cord. A cable retention clip prevents the
connected power cord from coming loose or falling off.
The use of cable retention clips is highly recommended for regions with
high seismic activities, and environments where shocks and vibrations
are expected.
These optional clips come in various sizes to accommodate diverse
power cords used on IT equipment, which are connected to C13 or C19
outlets. You can request a cable retention kit containing different sizes of
clips from you reseller. Make sure you use a clip that fits the power cord
snugly to facilitate the installation or removal operation (for servicing).
