Chapter 3. Internal cable routing
Some of the components in the server have internal cables and cable connectors.
To connect cables, observe the following guidelines:
• Turn off the server before you connect or disconnect any internal cables.
• See the documentation that comes with any external devices for additional cabling instructions. It might
be easier for you to route cables before you connect the devices to the server.
• Cable identifiers of some cables are printed on the cables that come with the server and optional devices.
Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct connectors.
• Ensure that the cable is not pinched and does not cover any connectors or obstruct any components on
the system board.
• Ensure that the relevant cables pass through the cable clips and guides.
