5.8.2 Connecting Cables to a Mouse, Keyboard, and VGA Port

The front and rear panels of the server have DB15 VGA ports but no standard PS/2
port for a keyboard or mouse.
Connect a keyboard or mouse to a USB port on the front or rear panel if needed,
either directly or with a USB-to-PS/2 cable.
Step 1 Wear an ESD wrist strap. For details, see
Step 2 Plug the USB connector on the PS/2 cable into the USB port on the front or rear
panel of the server.
Step 3 Connect the connectors on the other end of the PS/2 cable to the keyboard and
mouse.
Step 4 Connect the DB15 connector on the VGA cable to the VGA port on the front or
rear panel of the server and tighten the two screws.

Protect cables from burrs, heat sinks, and active accessories, which may
damage the insulation layers of cables.
Ensure that the length of cable ties for binding cables is appropriate. Do not
connect two or more cable ties together for binding cables. After binding
cables properly, trim off the excess lengths of the cable ties and ensure that
the cuts are neat and smooth.
Ensure that cables are properly routed, supported, or fixed within the cable
troughs inside the cabinet to prevent loose connections and cable damage.
Coil any surplus lengths of cables and bind them to proper positions inside
the cabinet.
Route cables straightly and bind them neatly. The bending radius of a cable
varies depending on the position where the cable is bent.
– If you need to bend a cable in its middle, the bending radius must be at
least twice the diameter of the cable.
– If you need to bend a cable at the output terminal of a connector, the
bending radius must be at least five times the cable diameter, and the
cable must be bound before bending.
Do not use cable ties at a place where the cables are bent. Otherwise, the
cables may break.
Determine overhead cabling and underfloor cabling for power cables based
on specific conditions of the equipment room. Specifically, take into
consideration the AC power distribution frame (PDF), surge protector, and
terminal block.
Determine overhead cabling and underfloor cabling for service data cables
based on specific conditions of the equipment room.
Place the connectors of all service data cables at the bottom of the cabinet so
that the connectors are difficult to reach.
