5. Clip off the excess length of material from the tie wraps. Make sure that the heads of the tie wraps
are positioned so as to avoid interference with adjacent systems. Return the CMA to the closed
(retracted) position.
6. Extend the system out of the rack to verify that there is sufficient slack in the cables on both ends
of the CMA.
See Figure 4 for an example of a completed right-side mounted CMA installation.

Cables entering the CMA should have
a small amount of slack to avoid cable
strain when the CMA is extended.
NOTE: Do not store excess cable
slack inside the CMA. The cable may
protrude through the CMA, thus
causing binding and potentially
damaging the cable.
