Internal cable routing

Use this information to do cable routing to complete installation of certain components.
Note: Disengage all latches, release tabs, or locks on cable connectors when you disconnect cables from
the system board. Failing to release them before removing the cables will damage the cable sockets on the
system board, which are fragile. Any damage to the cable sockets might require replacing the system board.
Some options, such as RAID controllers, might require additional internal cabling. See the documentation
that is provided for the option to determine any additional cabling requirements and instructions.
