Routing System and Network Cables
The EdgeFLEX 600 accessory kit includes a cable management bracket that you can use to position the
system and network cables around the chassis.
If you installed the optional cable management bracket (see Rack Installation, on page 2-6), use the
following guidelines to route the cables:
Route the power cables from the PSU units to the left side and secure using a tie-wrap.
Route all management cables through the cable management bracket on the left front of the
chassis and secure them using a tie-wrap.
Route all network cables through the cable management bracket and secure them using a tie-
wrap.
CAUTION! FIBER-OPTIC CABLES ARE DELICATE AND CARE MUST BE EXERCISED WHEN
DRESSING CABLES TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE CABLE. BE SURE NOT TO BEND THE CABLES TOO
TIGHTLY; FIBER OPTIC CABLES TYPICALLY HAVE A MINIMUM BEND RADIUS OF 1.2 INCHES
(30.5
MM) WHICH MUST BE OBSERVED. REFER TO THE MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS FOR
THE SPECIFIC CABLES BEING INSTALLED.
