Installing the Rear Cable Management System Shelves
- Identify the top, middle, and bottom shelf. They can be
differentiated visually, or by the position of the keying pin.
- Visual: The three shelves differ in the appearance of
the pivoting arms protruding from the sides of the shelves.
- A: Upper shelf key pin position
- B: Middle shelf key pin position
- C: Lower shelf key pin position
- Familiarize yourself with the pivoting bracket mechanism.
Each cable management shelf has two or four pivoting brackets which
hold the cable management arms. Each bracket has a release tab. Pressing
this tab will allow the bracket to be pivoted and lock into an alternative
position. The two locking positions are termed: normal position, and
service Position.
- Orient the shelf so that the keying pin location is toward
the right side of the shelf. Align the long guide pins with the holes
in the chassis, and slide the shelf into place. Fully tighten the
captive screws on the left and right sides of each shelf
 | Note:
It is easiest to tighten these screws if the pivoting
arm brackets are in the service position. |
- Repeat for the remaining shelves.
