One processor
Use the section to understand the 2.5-inch drive backplane cable routing for the server configuration with CX-7 mezz board and one processor.
Note
- Make sure the backplane cables are placed underneath the cables that are connected to the CX-7 carrier board and the CX-7 mezz board.
- Make sure the cables that go through the right side of the server are routed under the radiator bracket as illustrated.
- Make sure the backplane power cable is routed above the radiator bracket as illustrated.
- After connecting cables, equally divide the cables that go through the right side of the front drive tray into two bundles, and secure them with the two cable ties.Figure 1. Securing cables with cable ties
Choose the routing plan according to the number of drive installed in the system:
