Video and USB cable routing

Use the section to understand the cable routing for video and USB ports.

Figure 1. Cable routing for Video and USB cabling

Note
Blue numbers represent cable routing pathways under the fan cage.

The video cable (VGA) and USB cable are 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 routing information.
