Cable Management Guidelines

As the library expands to support larger configurations, it is important to

restrain and organize cables and power cords on the rear of the library.

Doing so ensures that the rear of the library remains accessible and

reduces the possibility that cables become damaged.

Use this section to find cable management guidelines and best practices

for power cords and Ethernet cables. Use the equipment specified in the

Cable Management Kit section below.

management kit with all the equipment necessary to perform these

procedures. You can also order the cable management kit from Dell (see
