Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and apparatus for implementing enhanced rack design to improve component and cable access in a computer system. A server rack includes a side rack cable access area. An elongated bracket member includes multiple openings for receiving cable ties. The cables ties are used to secure predefined cables. The elongated bracket member is unlatched from an inside wall of the rack. The elongated bracket member together with the secured system cables is pivoted away from customer cables
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A method for implementing enhanced rack design in a computer system comprising: providing a server rack including a side rack cable access area; providing an elongated bracket member including multiple openings for receiving cable ties; providing cables ties to secure one or more cables to the elongated bracket member; unlatching the elongated bracket member together with the secured cables from an inside wall corner of the rack; and pivoting the elongated bracket member with the secured cables away from a customer cable routing area. 2 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein providing said elongated bracket member including multiple openings for receiving cable ties includes providing a metal elongated bracket member. 3 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein unlatching the elongated bracket member together with the secured cables includes latching the elongated bracket member with a quick connect latch. 4 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the secured cables include base server system cables. 5 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the elongated bracket member together with the secured predefined cables is pivoted without disconnecting the secured predefined cables enabling access to the side rack cable access area for customer cables. 6 . The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the pivoted elongated bracket member together with the secured cables is free to move as far as a cable service loop allows. 7 . The method as recited in claim 1 , includes removing one or more of the secured cables from the elongated bracket member for maintenance to be performed. 8 . The method as recited in claim 1 , includes latching the elongated bracket member with a quick connect latch providing a minimized bend radius of the secured cables. 9 - 15 . (canceled)
