The adjustment range of the rails is a function of the type of rack in which they are being mounted.
The min-max values listed above represent the allowable distance between the front and rear
mounting flanges in the rack. Rail depth represents the minimum depth of the rail as measured from
the rack front mounting flanges when the rail rear bracket is positioned all the way forward.
13.3 Cable Management Arm (CMA)
The optional cable management arm (CMA) for the R815 organizes and secures the cords and cables
exiting the back of the server and unfolds to allow the server to extend out of the rack without
having to detach the cables. Some key features of the R815 CMA include:
• Large U-shaped baskets to support dense cable loads
• Open vent pattern for optimal airflow
• Fully reversible (can be mounted on either side) with no conversion required
• Utilizes hook-and-loop straps rather than plastic tie wraps to eliminate the risk of cable
damage during cycling
• Includes a low profile fixed tray to both support and retain the CMA in its fully closed position
• Both the CMA and the tray mount without the use of tools via simple and intuitive snap-in
designs
13.4 Rack View
The R815 ReadyRails sliding rails are a “drop-in” design, meaning that the system is installed
vertically into the rails by inserting the shoulder nuts on the sides of the system into the J-slots in
the inner rail members with the rails in the fully extended position. See Figure 12.
