Extending the Controller into Service PositionFrom the front of the rack, extend the FS7500 controller toward you on its rails until the rails click into place.This indicates that the controller is in its service position.Figure 40 shows the controller extended forward into the service position, as viewed from the back of the rack.Note the extra lengths of the power and signal cables.Figure 40: Controller in Service PositionBundling the Signal and Power CablesNote: This procedure requires at least two people, one at the front of the rack and one at the back.Using the hook-and-loop fasteners provided in the shipping box, bundle the cords together as follows:1. Use a hook-and-loop fastener to bundle the signal cords together and route the bundle toward the left side ofthe controller back panel. For best results, use hook-and-loop fasteners to bundle the cords in at least twolocations along the length of the cords. This helps keep the bundle together and prevents tangling.2. Use a hook-and-loop fastener to bundle together the two power cables and route them toward the right sideof the controller back panel.3. If desired, bundle the signal and power cables as described in Bundling the Signal and Power Cables on page43. If you bundle the cords, use the hook-and-loop fasteners to secure them together.Note: Securing the signal cable and power cable bundles to the rails is optional. If you do secure the cordbundles to the rails, they will need to be unsecured before the controller can be extended for service.4. Press the slide release lock buttons on the sides of the rails to release the locking mechanism.46EqualLogic FS7500 Installation and Setup 4 Network Cable Connections
