RAID adapter cable routing

Use this section to understand the hard drive cable routing if a RAID adapter is installed.

Figure 1. Drive cage cable routing
Cable routing for server models with eight 3.5-inch SAS drives

The RAID adapter SAS signal cables are routed through the left cable routing trough (as you are looking from the front of the server). 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. See 3-slot PCIe expansion cage 2 cable routing for PCIe expansion cage 2 cable routing.
