When connecting cables
•
Before connecting a cable to a port, lay the cable in place to verify the length of the cable.
•
Use the internal cable management features to properly route and secure the cables.
•
When routing cables, be sure that the cables are not in a position where they can be pinched or
crimped.
•
Avoid tight bend radii to prevent damaging the internal wires of a power cord or a server cable. Never
bend power cords and server cables tight enough to cause a crease in the sheathing.
•
Make sure that the excess length of cables are properly secured to avoid excess bends, interference
issues, and airflow restriction.
•
To prevent component damage and potential signal interference, make sure that all cables are in their
appropriate routing position before installing a new component and before closing up the server after
hardware installation/maintenance.
When disconnecting cables
•
Grip the body of the cable connector. Do not pull on the cable itself because this action can damage
the internal wires of the cable or the pins on the port.
•
If a cable does not disconnect easily, check for any release latch that must be pressed to disconnect
the cable.
•
Remove cables that are no longer being used. Retaining them inside the server can restrict airflow. If
you intend to use the removed cables later, label and store them for future use.
