• Use the correct ties to bind the cables. Do not bind cables with joined ties. • The distances between cable ties must be three to four times of the cable diameter. • Bind and route the cables neatly inside the rack, and make sure the cables are not kinked or bent.
FigureB-32 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.
Page 107
Optical fiber management CAUTION: The core of optical fibers is thin and fragile. Do not use cable ties to bind the optical fibers. Use soft binding tapes to carefully bind optical fibers. Avoid excessive force. For more information, see the binding tape use instructions.
