Managing Power Cords 7

Power cord management is important especially for the larger, expanded

library configurations. A 41U library 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 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 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 expansion module near the right side of the library

chassis. Refer to the illustration below to locate this hole.

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 expansion module

described above. The hook-and-loop fastener should now be secured

to the library chassis.

Adhesive-backed wire saddle cable clamp — For older

library models without drilled holes for push-in wire

saddle clamps. The adhesive-backed wire saddle

clamp secures Ethernet cables to the control module.

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.
