Cable routing for front I/O modules

  • For the locations of front I/O module connectors on the processor board, see Processor-board connectors for cable routing for details.

  • The illustrations show the cabling scenario for server models with 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch front drive bays. Location of each connector on the front of the server varies by models. For detailed locations of front I/O components for different models, see Front view and Front I/O module.
