Internal cable routing and connectors

This section provides information about routing the cables when you install some components in the Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M5 compute node.

The following notes describe additional information you must consider when you install or remove the cables:
  • To remove the cables, slightly press the cables toward the planar tray; then, pull to remove the cables from the connectors on the system board. Pulling the cable out of the connector by excessive force might cause damage to the cable or connector.
  • To connect the cables on the system board, press evenly on the cables. Pressing on one side of the cable might cause damage to the cable or connector.
  • Make sure that the cables are not pinched and do not cover any connector or obstruct any component on the system board.
  • Make sure that all cables above the power paddle card not crossing each other.

For more information about the requirements for cables and connecting devices, see the documentation that comes with these devices.
