Install the braided cables

Use this information to install the braided cables

Procedure

1. Identify the braided cables.

   Shielding cage
   Braided cable 1 (connected with braided cable 2 by Y cable)
   Braided cable 2 (connected with braided cable 1 by Y cable)
   Braided cable 3
   Braided cable 4 (attached shielding cage is smaller than braided cable 3)

   Figure 1. Braided cable 1/2, 3, and 4
   
   
2. Align braided cable 1/2 and braided cable 3 to the screw holes on system board. Make sure the ring terminals of the cable are placed in the angle shown below.

   1 Screw hole for braided cable 3

   2 Screw hole for braided cable 1/2

3. Install braided cable 1/2 and 3.
   1. Keep the FRONT marking on the VR conduction plate facing the front of the server. Then, place the VR conduction plate on top of the two cable ring terminals.
   2. Slightly press down the VR conduction plate.
      Attention

      The following items will be secured by screw. Make sure they are aligned and do not block each other.

      • Screw hole on the system board

      • The hole on the ring terminal of the shielding cage cable

      • Screw hole on the VR conduction plate

   3. While pressing down the VR conduction plate, place the screws into the two screw holes on the VR conduction plate. Then, fasten the two screws to secure the cables to the system board. DO NOT fasten the screws until both screws are placed into the VR conduction plate.

4. Align braided cable 4 to the screw holes on system board as shown below. Make sure the ring terminal of the cable is placed in the angle shown below. Fasten the screw to secure the braided cable to the system board.

5. From the inside of the shielding cages, hold the tab and peel off the adhesive tapes. Complete the step for all four shielding cages.

6. Cover the inductors on system board with shielding cages. Follow the inductors and braided cable mapping table below.
   Attention

   After covering the inductors with shielding cages, DO NOT remove the shielding cages from the system board to avoid system board damages.

   Table 1. Shielding cage and inductors mapping table

   Shielding cage	Inductor on the system board to be covered by the shielding cage
   Shielding cage 1 (Y cable)	A
   Shielding cage 2 (Y cable)	B
   Shielding cage 3	C
   Shielding cage 4 (smaller cage)	D

   1. Make sure the FRONT marking on the cage points at the front of the tray.
      Figure 10. Front marking on the cage pointing at the front
      
      
   2. Attach the inside of the cage to the inductor attaching point. In the graphic below, the dotted lines specify the inductor attaching points for the inside of the cage. The inductor attaching point is where the inside of the cage and the inductors attach to each other seamlessly without any gap.
      Note

      • Shielding cage 1 and 4: one attaching point

      • Shielding cage 2 and 3: two attaching points

      Figure 11. Inductor attaching points
      
      
   3. Keep the cage attached to the inductor attaching point and make sure the inductors are completely covered; then, lower the cage into the system board.
      Note

      For the non-attaching-point side of cage 1 and 4, balance the gap between the inside of the cage and inductors.

   4. Gently press the top of the shielding cage for three seconds to secure the shielding cage to the inductor. To make sure it is secured to the system board, try to gently pull the cage. If it is not moved, then the shielding cage is successfully installed. To make sure it is secured to the system board, try to gently pull the cage. If it is not moved, then the shielding cage is successfully installed.
7. Route the shielding cage 1 cable between CPU 1 socket and the DIMM slots. Make sure all shielding cage cable are cleared from CPU sockets, DIMM slots, and other system board connectors.
   Note

   Make sure the FRONT marking on the cage points at the front of the tray.

   Figure 13. Cable routing for shielding cages
   
   

   The shielding cage 1 cable should be angled toward the CPU 1.

   
   
   

   The shielding cage 4 cable should be angled toward the CPU 2.
