Install the front PCIe switch cable harness

Follow instructions in this section to install the front PCIe switch cable harness. The procedure must be executed by a trained technician.

Procedure

1. If necessary, attach the label to the signal cable(s).
   1. Attach the white space portion of the label to the end of the cable that connects to the PCIe switch board.
   2. Wrap the label around the cable and attach it to the white space portion.

3. Install the front PCIe switch cable harness.
   1. Align the front PCIe switch cable harness with the four guide pins on the 8U GPU shuttle; then, lower the front PCIe switch cable harness into the 8U GPU shuttle until it is securely engaged.
   2. Locate the ten screw holes marked with C on both sides of the 8U GPU shuttle; then, fasten the ten screws to secure the front PCIe switch cable harness.

4. Connect the cables to the PCIe switch board and the PSU interposer. See PCIe switch board cable routing and Power interface board cable routing for more information.
5. Install the following front I/O module cables.
   • Fasten the two hex nuts (1) to install the VGA cable to the front I/O bracket.
   • Fasten the two screws (2) to install the USB cable to the front I/O bracket.
