Managing Power Cords
Power cord management is important especially for the larger, expanded library configurations. An ML6030 CM plus two
PowerVault ML6000 9U Library Expansion Modules with redundant power (the maximum configuration) may contain as many
as 10 power supply units with 10 power cords to manage.
To organize power cords on the rear of the library, mount a black hook-and-loop fastener to each module and then secure
the power cords with the fastener.
Power cords and power cord hook-and-loop fasteners that are shipped with the library are black in color.
You can apply the following procedure to any library that contains at least one 9U Library Expansion Module.
To secure a power cord to the library frame:
1 Facing the rear of the library, locate a specific hole that is drilled into the back of the 9U Library Expansion Module for
the hook-and-loop fastener. This hole is located on the rear of the library, about three inches from the top of the
9U Library Expansion Module near the right side of the library chassis. Refer to the illustration below to locate this
hole.
Note: If your module chassis does not have the drilled hole, use an M5 thumbscrew to attach the black hook-and-
loop fastener to the nearest available M5 threaded hole on the lower right of any module chassis.
2 Insert a push rivet into the rivet hole on the black hook-and-loop fastener. The head of the rivet should be on the
same side of the fastener as the plastic loop.
3 Firmly press the push rivet through the hole in the 9U Library Expansion Module described above. The hook-and-loop
fastener should now be secured to the library chassis.
4 Plug the power cord into a power supply unit closest to the hook-and-loop fastener.
5 Determine how much cord length you need to reach and easily plug into the AC power source. Do not plug the cord
into power source until you are ready to power on the library.
6 If there is excess power cord, loop the excess cord into a bundle in the shape of a figure-eight. The bundle should be
small enough to hold comfortably with one hand, or about eight inches in length.
7 Wrap the bundle with the hook-and-loop fastener. Thread the strap through the plastic loop and tighten the strap
around the bundled cord. Secure the strap by pressing it down.
