About this task

The node uses two toolless cable-retention brackets. One retains each cable from the uninterruptible power-supply to one of the two power supplies, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Cable-retention brackets

Each cable-retention bracket attaches to the back of the node. The brackets connect without screws.

To replace each cable-retention bracket, complete the following steps.

1. If you removed the node from the rack, replace the node in the rack, as described in Replacing a node in a rack.
2. If you removed any Fibre Channel or Ethernet cables, use the labels you that placed on each cable to identify the ports from which they were removed.
3. Loosely install the cable-retention bracket on a power cord by slipping the power cord into the notch on the rear of the bracket.
4. Align the cable-retention bracket on the power cord so that the bracket is to the left of the cord, as shown by  2  in Figure 1.
5. Align the power cord with the power connector on the power supply and the bracket with the power-supply handle.
6. Push the power cord into the power connector on the power supply.
7. Carefully push the bracket against the power-supply handle to force the spring clip ( 1 ) over the leading edge of the handle.
