Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of using the Cable Management Arm (CMA)?
Using the CMA allows you to extend the system for service without powering down or disconnecting cables.
Can I use CMA with static rails?
No, the CMA is only compatible with sliding rails, not the static rails.
How do I replace an outer power supply while using a right-side CMA?
Disconnect the inner CMA bracket from the rail, support the CMA while replacing the PSU, and then reinstall the inner CMA bracket.
Are there different ways to route cables if no CMA is needed?
Yes, following procedures ensures secure attachment and proper strain relief of the cables without using a CMA.
