Figure 34. Securing the enclosure
At this point, the rails and IBM Storage Scale System 3500 enclosure are installed. The enclosure is
mounted on the rail with all the components that were removed, reinserted into the slots.
Installing cable management assembly (IBM SSR task)
The cable management assembly (CMA) aids in better routing and securing of the system’s cabling. The
CMA enables the storage enclosure easily slid in and out of the rack for drive installation or replacement
without disconnecting the cables from the power modules or server canisters. A properly installed
CMA prevents cable tangling and interference with other components in the rack, allowing for smooth
operation of the rails.
Note: If the CMA is preinstalled, the CMA would be secured by a strap to the cross bar during
transportation to avoid damage. This strap must be removed before installation.
