Internal cable routing

See this section to do cable routing for specific components.

　

Before connecting the cables, read the following guidelines carefully:
  • Turn off the server before connecting or disconnecting any internal cables.
  • Refer to the documentation that comes with any external devices for additional cabling instructions.
  • Make use of the identifiers printed on the cables to locate the proper connectors.
  • Make sure that the cable is not pinched and does not cover any connectors or obstruct any components on the system board.
Note

Disengage all latches, release tabs, or locks on cable connectors when you disconnect cables from the system board. Failing to release them before removing the cables will damage the cable sockets on the system board, which are fragile. Any damage to the cable sockets might require replacing the system board.


Press the release tab and disengage the connector from the cable socket. Do not pull the cable using force.

Squeeze the release tabs at both sides and disengage the connector from the cable socket. Do not pull the connector straight up using force.
