Secure the power cord(s) and interface cables with a tie wrap. Form the cables in such a way that they will not come into contactwith the door or the guide rails on the sides of the server. Form the power cord with a slight slack at the AC inlet of the server.This is to prevent the power cord from coming off when the serveris pulled out from the rack. Do not apply any pressure to the plug of the power cord.
