RE: Power 10 maintenance

No, for equipment with cable mgt arms I order cables to accommodate them.

So basically you unplug them if you slide them out for maintenance?

I typically order short power cables for all of my customer installs. Two colors to differentiate power source. I also order fiber cables via 3rd party in different length so there is not a bunch of loops in the rack.

I spoke with the POWER product manager at a conference a few years ago about the power cords and he gave me some BS answer that the engineering cost was to high to certify different length power cords.

I'm getting in:
S1014(9105-41B)
w/EMXO expansion unit
S1024(9105-42A)
Two 8969-F24
FS7300.

My question is, since I'm tired of power cables stretching all over the place looking like cobwebs do I order short 2-3' cables just long enough to reach the PDU's,
or do I use power cables long enough to stay plugged in while you slide the units out for maintenance?
Summary: Are the parts hot swappable?
BP ordered internal NVMe drives for VIOS.
