Installing the cable management arm (IBM SSR task)
Each canister of the IBM Storage Scale System 6000 requires a cable management arm (CMA); a total
of two CMAs is required per enclosure. When working on replacing hot-swappable components, use the
CMAs to smoothly pull and push the enclosure.
The 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 PSU 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 CMAs are preinstalled, the CMAs would be secured by a strap to the cross bar during
transportation to avoid damage. This strap must be removed before installation.
1. Verify the direction of the CMA as shown in the following gure.
