If you are not using the CMA, following these procedures will ensure secure attachment and strain relief of the cables behind the system. For guidelines on how to route cables within the rack, refer to the Dell Best Practices Guide for Rack Enclosure white paper. For additional details regarding potential interferences between the CMA and rear-mount power distribution units (PDUs) in Dell racks as well as general information about third party rack compatibility, refer to the Dell Enterprise Systems Rail Sizing and Rack Compatibility Matrix located at http://content.dell.com/us/en/enterprise/d/business~solutions~engineeringdocs~en/Documents~rail-rack-matrix.pdf.aspx.
