Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm.
When you attach the cable to a device on slide rails, leave enough slack in the cable so that it
does not bend to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.) when the device is extended or become
pinched when the device is retracted.
Route the cable away from places where it can be snagged by other devices in the rack.
Do not overtighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a radius of less than 38 mm (1.5 in.).
Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Make sure that the cable is well
