1

Facing the rear of the library, locate a specific hole that is drilled into

the back of the 9U Library Expansion Module for the hook-and-loop

fastener. This hole is located on the rear of the library, about three

inches from the top of the 9U Library Expansion Module near the

right side of the library chassis. Refer to the illustration below to

locate this hole.

2

Insert a push rivet into the rivet hole on the black hook-and-loop

fastener. The head of the rivet should be on the same side of the

fastener as the plastic loop.

3

Firmly press the push rivet through the hole in the 9U Library

Expansion Module described above. The hook-and-loop fastener

should now be secured to the library chassis.

4

Plug the power cord into a power supply unit closest to the hook-

and-loop fastener.

5

Determine how much cord length you need to reach and easily plug

into the AC power source. Do not plug the cord into power source

until you are ready to power on the library.

6

If there is excess power cord, loop the excess cord into a bundle in the

shape of a figure-eight. The bundle should be small enough to hold

comfortably with one hand, or about eight inches in length.

7

Wrap the bundle with the hook-and-loop fastener. Thread the strap

through the plastic loop and tighten the strap around the bundled

cord. Secure the strap by pressing it down.

The power cord is now secured to the 9U Library Expansion Module.

Repeat these steps to secure other power cords, if necessary. Bundle

adjacent power cords together using the same hook-and-loop fastener.
Once complete, power cord management for an ML6030 CM plus two

PowerVault ML6000 9U Library Expansion Modules should look similar

to

Figure 30

on page 240.

Note:

If your module chassis does not have the drilled hole, use an

M5 thumbscrew to attach the black hook-and-loop fastener to

the nearest available M5 threaded hole on the lower right of

any module chassis.
