Figure 98 Binding the cables
When you route cables through sharp sheet metal penetration points or along sharp edges of
•
mechanical parts, use bushings or take any other action to protect the cables from being cut or
abraded. The sheet metal penetration points must be smooth and fully rounded.
• After binding the cables, cut the excess from the ties, leaving no sharp or angular tips. See
99.
Figure 99 Cutting the cable ties
Route, bind, and attach excess cables for easy, safe maintenance activities and proper operations.
•
• Do not tie the power cords to the slide rails.
When you connect a cable to an articulated part, for example, when you connect a grounding
•
cable to a rack door, leave enough slack in cables and make sure they are not stressed from any
movement of the part.
Cables must be protected at points where they might rub or come in contact with sharp edges or
•
heated areas. Use high temperature cables near heat sources.
Fasten heavy or rigid power cords at the connectors to relief stress.
