Section 4: Cabling a PowerEdge R720/R720xd system installed
on static rails

NOTE: The CMA is compatible only with the sliding rails, not the static rails.

1. Follow the instructions contained in the Rack Installation Instructions found in the static rail kit to

install the server into a two-post or four-post rack.

2. Install the hook-and-loop straps provided in the rail kit through the slots in the rear brackets of the

rails as described in the Rack Installation Instructions.

3. Connect all applicable cables to the rear of the system and verify that all connections are secure.

4. Using the hook-and-loop straps, bundle the cables and secure them to either the left rail or right

rail as described in the Rack Installation Instructions. See Figure 11 for an example of data cables
secured to the left rail and power cables secured to the right rail (as viewed from the rear of the
system).
