    Appendix A Engineering labels Engineering labels are used to identify cables and devices for easy maintenance after installation. There are two types of engineering labels, labels for cables and labels for devices. Labels for cables Cables include signal cables such as network cables and fibers, and power cords such as AC power cords and DC power cords.

Clean the pins again by using a new piece of lint-free cotton without alcohol.
  • Page 105 • 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.
  • Page 106: Cable Management

    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.
