Cable Routing Procedures for Dell™ PowerEdge™ R515 Systems

Introduction

This white paper covers recommended cable routing procedures for the Dell™ PowerEdge™ R515
system in the following racks:

PowerEdge™ 2410

PowerEdge™ 4210

PowerEdge™ 2420

PowerEdge™ 4220 (including wide and deep versions)

PowerEdge™ 4820 (including wide and deep versions)
If you are using the optional CMA, following these procedures will allow you to extend the system
from the rack for service without powering down or disconnecting the cables. If you are not using the
CMA, following these procedures will ensure secure attachment and strain relief of the cables behind
the system. For guidelines on how to route cables within the rack, refer to the Dell
Guide for Rack Enclosure
Section 1: Cabling a Dell™ PowerEdge™ R515 With a Cable Management
Arm (CMA)
This section details how to cable a PowerEdge™ R515 system using a CMA. If you are cabling the
system without the optional CMA, refer to Section 2.
Follow the instructions contained in the
the rack. Once installed, use these instructions to install the cables. All illustrations in the following
sections were created using a PowerEdge™ R515 system.
