bracket directs the cables behind the rack ID card and towards the rear, where
the cables drop vertically into a second channel, which mounts on the left-side
wall (when viewing the unit from the rear). There are openings in the vertical
channel for cables to exit toward the I/O drawers.
Accommodating cables
You must ensure that the location and dimensions of the cable cutouts for the
models can be accommodated by the installation location. Additionally, an
overhead cable management option (top exit bracket) is available for DS8800
(Models 951), which has special planning and safety requirements.
Use the following steps to ensure that you prepare for cabling for each unit:
1. Based on your planned storage unit layout, ensure that you can accommodate
the locations of the cables exiting each unit. For the DS8000 series, see Figure 19
for the location of the cable cutouts.
Figure 20 on page 147 shows a similar graphic for the cable cutouts for the
DS8800.
