PowerEdge T610 Technical Guide 47
14.3 Cable Management Arm (CMA)
The optional cable management arm (CMA) for the T610 organizes and secures the cords and cables
exiting the back of the server and unfolds to allow the server to extend out of the rack without
having to detach the cables.
Some key features of the T610 CMA include:
• Large U-shaped baskets to support dense cable loads
• Open vent pattern for optimal airflow
• Fully reversible (can be mounted on either side) with no conversion required
• Hook-and-loop straps are used rather than plastic tie wraps to eliminate the risk of cable
damage during cycling
• A low profile fixed tray to both support and retain the CMA in its fully closed position
• Both the CMA and the tray mount without the use of tools using simple and intuitive snap-in
designs
14.4 Rack View
The T610 ReadyRails sliding rails are a drop-in design, meaning that the system is installed vertically
into the rails by inserting the shoulder nuts on the sides of the system into the J-slots in the inner rail
members with the rails in the fully extended position.
T610 Mounted in C1 Sliding Rails Figure 12.
The T610 CMA can be mounted to either side of the rails without the use of tools or the need for
conversion, but it is recommended that it be mounted on the side opposite the power supplies to
allow easier access to the power supplies for service or replacement. Figure 13 shows a T610 system
with a CMA installed.
