2. Connect power cords to the power supply and electrical sockets.

   If your equipment rack provides dual power circuits and your unit is equipped with a dual power supply, make sure to plug each power supply into a separate power circuit.

Installing the Cable Management Bracket

In order to provide cable strain relief for cables connected to 

interface cards, a cable management bracket is provided.

To Install the Cable Management Bracket
