Caution – To prevent damage to the server or physical injury, if you are using a lift, keep
the lift under the server. If you are manually installing the server, hold handles on each side
of the server.

slide-rails reach their stops.
10. Test the operation of the slide-rails by pushing the server back into the rack until it
reaches the internal stops.

Cabling
To provide power and network connectivity to the VTL appliance, carry out the following
tasks:
■ “Installing the cable management arm” on page 16
■ “Routing and connecting cables” on page 20.
Installing the cable management arm
The cable management arm (CMA) is optional, but highly recommended. The CMA protects
I/O and power cables from damage that might otherwise occur when you slide the server in
and out of the rack. The CMA kit includes the following components:
■ an outer rail extension that, when viewed from the rear of the server, mounts the cable
management arm on the right outer rail
■ a bracket that connects the cable management arm to the chassis
■ the cable management arm itself.
Use one CMA for each appliance. Never run cables from one appliance through a CMA
attached to another server.
