Cable Routing Procedures for Dell™ PowerEdge™ T610 Systems Introduction This white paper covers recommended cable routing procedures for Dell™ PowerEdge™ T610 systems in the following racks: PowerEdge™ 2410 PowerEdge™ 4210 PowerEdge™ 2420 PowerEdge™ 4220 (including wide and deep versions) PowerEdge™ 4820 (including wide and deep versions) If you are using the optional CMA, following these procedures will allow you to extend the system from the rack for service without powering down or disconnec
Cable Routing Procedures for Dell™ PowerEdge™ T610 Systems 1.2 Routing the Power Cables Through the Strain Reliefs After you have installed the tray and cables, route the power cables through the strain reliefs located on the power supply handles as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2: Routing Power Cables Through the Strain Reliefs 1.3 Installation of the CMA The CMA can be installed on either the rear right or rear left side of the rails.

Make sure that the heads of the tie wraps are positioned so as to avoid interference with adjacent systems. Return the CMA to the closed (retracted) position. 6. Extend the system out of the rack to verify that there is sufficient slack in the cables on both ends of the CMA. See Figure 4 for an example of a completed right-side mounted CMA installation.

If the CMA is attached to the right side, both power supplies can be removed without removal of the CMA. If the CMA is attached to the left side, the top power supply can be replaced with the CMA in its closed (retracted) position. 1. 2. 3. 4.
