Cable routing diagrams

Figure 6 to Figure 8 show the cable routing for the optical drive as well as the SATA and SAS hard drives. For
detailed cable routing procedures for each type of drive, refer to the corresponding steps in the drive
configuration sections later in this chapter.
CAUTION: Route the drive cables neatly. If possible, follow the pre-installed cable bundles in the chassis. The
cables should be routed in a position where they will not be pinched or crimped by the top cover, and they
should not hamper proper airflow inside the chassis.
