Internal cable routing

Some of the components in the server come with internal cables meant for specific connectors.

Before connecting the cables, read the following guidelines carefully:

  • Turn off the server before you connect or disconnect any internal cables.

  • Refer to the documentation that comes with any external devices for additional cabling instructions.

  • Make use of the identifiers printed on the cables to locate the proper connectors.

  • Ensure that the cable is not pinched and does not cover any connectors or obstruct any components on the system board.

Attention
Strictly observe the following instructions to avoid damaging cable sockets on the system board. Any damage to the cable sockets might require replacing the system board.

  • Connect cable connectors vertically or horizontally in alignment with the orientations of the corresponding cable sockets, avoiding any tilt.

  • To disconnect cables from the system board, do as follows:

    1. Press and hold all latches, release tabs, or locks on cable connectors to release the cable connectors.

    2. Remove the cable connectors vertically or horizontally in alignment with the orientations of the corresponding cable sockets, avoiding any tilt.
      Note
      The cable connectors might look different from those in the illustration, but the removal procedure is the same.
