3-slot PCIe expansion cage 2 cable routing

Use the section to understand the cable routing for the 3-slot PCIe expansion cage 2.

Figure 1. Cable routing for the 3-slot PCIe expansion cage 2.
Cable routing for the 3–slot PCIe expansion cage
Note
Blue numbers represent cable routing pathways under the fan cage.

The PCIe expansion cage 2 power cable assembly is routed through the left cable routing trough (as you are looking from the front of the server) and through the rear cable routing guide. The order of cable placement for cables in the left cable routing trough is as follows:

  1. Management port cable

  2. Operator panel cable

  3. PCIe expansion cage 2 power cable assembly.

  4. RAID adapter SAS signal cables (if installed)

The order of cable placement in the rear cable routing guide is as follows:

  1. Management port cable

  2. Operator panel cable
