  5. To prevent accidental power cord disconnection when sliding the server in and out of the rack, secure the power cord in the strain relief strap attached to the power supply handle:
    1. Unwrap the strain relief strap from the power supply handle.
      CAUTION: Avoid tight bend radii to prevent damaging the internal wires of a power cord or a server cable. Never bend power cords and server cables tight enough to cause a crease in the sheathing.
    2. Secure the power cord with the strain relief strap. Roll the extra length of the strap around the power supply handle.
