Frequently Asked Questions

I must use a Cable Management Arm (CMA)?

No, the CMA is optional. If not using it, power down and disconnect all cables before removing from the rack.

How do I route cables through the CMA?

Ensure entering cables have small slack to avoid strain when the CMA is extended; never store excess cable slack inside the CMA.

What other PowerEdge systems are compatible with T710 cabling procedures?

These procedures also cover models like 2410, 4210, 2420, 4220, and 4820.

How do I replace a power supply when using the CMA?

Remove the CMA tray, swing it to service position, disconnect/replace the power supply, then re-engage strain relief and return the CMA to the closed position.
