Releasing the cable retention bracket

This topic provides instructions for releasing the cable retention bracket when removing the power cords from the power supply unit.

Be careful when you are replacing the hardware components that are located in the back of the system that you do not inadvertently disturb or remove any cables that you are not instructed to remove.

Each cable retention bracket comes attached to the back of the power supply unit by the power cord plug-in.

To release a cable retention bracket, perform these steps:

  1. Unlock the cable retention bracket that is around the end of the power cord.
  2. Pull the lever next to the black plastic loop slightly towards the center of the canister.
  3. Continue to pull the lever towards you as you slide the cable retention bracket away from the end of the cable.
