Installing the file modules

Install the file modules in the rack following the safety guidelines.

1. Pull the slide rails forward  1  until they click, two times, into place as shown in Figure 1. Carefully lift the file module and tilt it into position over the slide rails so that the rear nail heads  2  on the device line up with the slide rails. Slide the file module down until the rear nail heads slip into the two rear slots, and then slowly lower the front of the file module  3  until the other nail heads slip into the other slots on the slide rails. See Figure 1.

2. Lift the locking levers  1  on the slide rails and push the file module  2  all the way into the rack until it clicks into place. Refer to Figure 2.

3. Install the cable management support bar on the left-rear side of the node, as shown in Figure 3.
   1. Connect one end of the support bar to the same slide rail to which you plan to attach the cable management arm assembly.
   2. Swing the other end of the support bar toward the rack.

4. Connect the other end of the support bar to the stop bracket, as shown in Figure 4.

5. Connect the stop bracket to the slide rail, as shown in Figure 5.
   1. The capital letters I and O are printed on cable management arm pins to identify the inside and outside pins.
   2. Install the stop bracket (with capital letter O) on the unattached end of the support bar.
   3. Verify that the support bar is securely installed.

6. Install the cable management arm as shown in Figure 6.
   1. Place the cable management arm on the support bar.
   2. Pull out both the inside and the outside pins of the cable management arm.
   3. Slide the cable management arm tabs into both the inside and the outside slots of the slide rail.
   4. Push the tabs until they snap into place.

7. Close the stop bracket as shown in Figure 7.
   1. Open the stop bracket, which makes rotating the cable management arm on and off the support bar easier.
   2. Push the tabs above and below the stop bracket to close it.

8. Connect and route the cables as shown in Figure 8.
   1. Connect the power cords and other cables to the rear of the node.
   2. Route the cables and power cords on the cable management arm and secure them with cable ties or hook-and-loop fasteners.
   Note:

   • The location of the cable straps can vary in different systems.
   • Use the cable straps that are provided on the rear of the system to retain the cables and prevent them from sagging.
   Figure 8. Connecting and routing the cables

   
9. Secure the cables with the hook-and-loop fastener strap, as shown in Figure 9.
   Note:

   • Cables must be bundled with the hook-and-loop fastener strap to ensure full range of movement of the cable management arm.
   • Make sure that the cables do not sag below the U space so they cannot interfere with the lower systems.
   • Allow slack in all cables to avoid tension in the cables as the cable management arm moves.

10. Optional: You can install the cable management arm assembly on the opposite side, as shown in Figure 10.
    1. Press the release buttons  1  and slide the mounting brackets  2  out of the cable management arm.
    2. Rotate the cable management arm  3 .
    3. Flip the mounting brackets  4 .
    4. Insert the inner bracket (marked with a capital letter I) and outer bracket (marked with a capital letter O) into the cable management arm  5 .

11. Insert the M6 screws to the rear of the slides, as shown in Figure 11. Use a cable tie to secure the free end of the cable management arm to the rack, if needed. See Figure 11.

12. Slide the file module into the rack until it snaps into place. To slide the file module out of the rack, press on the release latches  1 .
    Note: When you move the rack cabinet, or if you install the rack cabinet in a vibration-prone area, insert the M6 screws  2  in the front of the file module. Refer to Figure 12.
