E3.S backplane cable routing
Use the section to understand the cable routing for the E3.S backplane.
Connections between connectors; 1↔1, 2↔2, 3↔3, ... n↔n
The Cable PN or FRU PN can be found on the label attached to the cable.
When routing the cables, make sure that all cables are routed appropriately through the corresponding cable guides and cable clips.
