Chapter 2. Internal cable routing
See this section to do cable routing for specific components.
Before connecting the cables, read the following guidelines carefully:
• Turn off the server before connecting or disconnecting 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.
• Make sure that the cable is not pinched and does not cover any connectors or obstruct any components
on the system board.
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.
Identifying connectors
See this section to locate and identify the connectors on the electric boards.
