Internal cable routing

Some of the components in the server have internal cables and cable connectors.

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.

Some options, such as RAID controllers, might require additional internal cabling. See the documentation that is provided for the option to determine any additional cabling requirements and instructions.
