Abstract
A cable manager is attached to a device, connected to a number of cables. The cables are engaged by the cable manager in order to appropriately guide and organize the cables. The cable manager is sized and positioned so that when in a normal operating position, certain components remain freely accessible. When so desired, a technician or other user can easily raise and secure the cable manager without disconnecting the cables, thereby moving the coupled cables out of the way of various components of the device. Thus, components obstructed by the cable manager when in the normal operating position can be accessed and serviced, or otherwise utilized.
