A system administrator must obtain the correct rail and cable management to install a newly purchased MX7000 chassis into a rack. What type of rail and cable management is supported?

Question

Options

• ASliding rail with strain relief bar
• BSliding rail with cable management arm
• CStatic rail with strain relief bar
• DStatic rail with cable management arm

• B
  3% (1)
• C
  94% (32)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option C is correct because the Dell EMC MX7000 chassis uses static rails - the chassis is large and heavy enough that it is not designed to slide in and out of the rack, making sliding rails impractical. It pairs with a strain relief bar to secure and support cables without requiring the articulated flexibility of a cable management arm (CMA).

Options A and B are wrong because they both specify sliding rails, which are not supported for the MX7000 - sliding rails are designed for servers that need to be extended for maintenance, not heavy modular chassis. Option D is wrong because while it correctly identifies static rails, the MX7000 does not use a cable management arm; CMAs are designed to flex with sliding rail systems and serve no purpose when the chassis is stationary.

Memory tip: Think "Three S's" - the MX7000 is Stationary, so it needs Static rails and a Strain relief bar. If it doesn't slide, it doesn't need a CMA.
