6. Attach the power cords and data cables to the rear of the node.
a. Route the cables and power cords on the cable-management arm, as shown by 1 in Figure 21 on
page 29.
If you attach the arm properly and route the cables properly, the arm swings into the rack as you
pull the node forward in the rack, opening to allow the cables to follow the node toward the front
of the rack. You can perform some service procedures from the fully extended rail position
without disconnecting the fibre-channel cables and the Ethernet cables. You can also perform some
service procedures without turning off the node or disconnecting the power cables.
b. Secure the cables with cable ties or hook-and-loop fasteners.
Note: Leave some slack in all of the cables to avoid tension in the cables as the cable-management
arm moves.
