After connecting the cables to the system, unscrew the thumbscrews that secure
the front of the server to the front vertical rail.
Slide the system forward to the fully extended position.
Route the cables along the cable-management arm, allowing some additional
cable slack at the hinge positions, and secure the cables to the cable-management
arm with the Velcro straps attached to the cable-management arm.

extended position. To push the system back into the rack, press the green locking latch on
the side of the slide to release the locks, and then slide the system completely into the rack.
