Remove the Cable Management Arm
Follow this procedure to remove the cable management arm (CMA).
Before you begin this procedure, refer to the illustration provided in Step 1 in the procedure
“Install the Cable Management Arm (Optional)” on page 54 to identify CMA connectors A,
B, C, and D. Disconnect the CMA connectors in the reverse order in which you installed them,
that is, disconnect connector D first, then C, then B, and finally A.
Throughout this procedure, after you disconnect any of the CMA four connectors, do not allow
the CMA to hang under its own weight.
Note - References to “left” or “right” in this procedure assume that you are facing the back of
the equipment rack.

bar before extending the server from the rack.
For instructions to stabilize the rack, see “Stabilize the Rack” on page 44.

To make it easier to remove the CMA, extend the server approximately 13 cm (5
inches) out of the front of the rack.
