I think it very much depends on:

This is starting in an empty rack
- how you manage airflow in your rack(s)
Ummm, not so well?
- what the management arms look like
Dell arms, and I've never worked with them before
My experience has been with the arms from HP, and I stopped buying them
about 10 years ago after I realized that after they were loaded with cables
they almost completely blocked exhaust fans, especially on the 1U servers.
I don't know if they've changed much since then, but thus far I have been
happy with velcro strips for neat bundling/support.
From all the replies it seems that not using them is going to be the best
answer. If this was a 4U unit, my answer would probably be different.
Thanks for all the responses.

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.
