Power Cable Tie and Clamp

A cable tie and clamp are available for both models of the blade power supplies. Using
the cable tie (MCP-140-00015-0N), in conjunction with the cable clamp
(MCP-140-00017-0N or MCP-140-00016-0N) and a small screw, allows you to secure
the power cord to the power supply unit. This avoids it loosening and falling off the
power supply due to any system vibration during its operation.
NOTE: There are two clamps available for use. Use the MCP-140-00017-0N
clamp for all power cords that are at or under 9mm in diameter. Use the
MCP-140-00016-0N clamp for all power cords over 9mm in diameter.
Figure 5-5 below provides an illustration of the tie and clamps with a power supply cord
and power supply.

Figure 5-6 shows how to assemble the cable tie and clamp on the power cord. Simply
place the clamp around the power cord and attach the cable tie to both the clamp and
the power supply using a screw. This will secure the power cord to the power supply and
keep it from dislodging during operation.
NOTE: The same power cable ties and clamps apply for all current power
supplies for the SuperBlade enclosure.
