The fan cage power cable is routed through the right cable routing trough (as you are looking from the front of the server). The order of cable placement for cables in the right cable routing trough is as follows:

  1. PCIe 13 cable

  2. USB cable

  3. VGA cable

  4. PCIe expansion cage 1 power cable assembly. See 3-slot PCIe expansion cage 1 cable routing for PCIe expansion cage 1 cable routing.

  5. Fan cage power cable. See Fan cage cable routing for system fan cage cable routing.
