## Verify Correct Operation of the Slide Rails and the CMA

Perform this procedure both before and after you install the server cables in the CMA. Perfoming the procedure before the CMA contains cables helps ensure that it extends and contracts smoothly before the cables are added.

Note - The CMA includes velcro straps to secure the cables inside the CMA. Do not install the velcro straps until you have installed the CMA, connected the cables, and placed the cabling inside the CMA.

Tip - Two people are needed for this procedure, one to move the server in and out of the rack, and one to observe the cables and CMA.

1. For a free-standing rack, deploy the antitilt bar.
2. Unlock the slide lock buttons at the right and left sides of the chassis.

3. If the server cables have been placed inside the CMA, inspect them for binding or kinks.
4. Slowly pull the server out of the rack until the slide rails reach their stops.
5. Verify that the CMA extends fully and does not bind in the slide rails.
6. Verify that the server extends fully and locks in the maintenance position.

   The server should stop after approximately 15 in. (40 cm) of travel.

7. Pull both slide rail release buttons toward you simultaneously and slide the server back into the rack.

   The server should slide smoothly into the rack without binding.

8. Verify that the CMA retracted without binding.
9. Adjust the cable straps and CMA as required to secure the cables.
