   2. Route the cables and power cords on the CMA and secure them with cable ties or hook-and-loop fasteners.
   Notes:

   • The location of the cable straps can vary in different systems.
   • Use the cable straps that are provided on the rear of the system to retain the cables and prevent them from sagging.
   • Allow slack in all of the cables to avoid tension in the cables as the CMA moves.
