Cabling
Cabling overview
This section provides guidelines that help you make informed decisions about cabling the server and
hardware options to optimize performance.
For information on cabling peripheral components, refer to the white paper on high-density deployment at
the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/servers).
CAUTION: When routing cables, always be sure that the cables are not in a position where
they can be pinched or crimped.
Storage cabling
The storage cabling illustrations in this section show both the drive data and power cables.
The LFF and SFF drive models each has their own preinstalled 20-pin multi-output drive power cable.
The LFF drive power cable has the following connections:
• Common end connector—System board
• BP1 cable connector—4-bay LFF backplane
• BP2 cable connector—8-bay LFF backplane
The SFF drive power cable has the following connections:
• Common end connector—System board
• BP3 cable connector—8-bay SFF backplane in box 3
• BP2 cable connector—8-bay SFF backplane in box 2 (16-bay SFF drive configuration)
• ODD cable connector—Power connector in the SATA optical drive cable (if an optical drive is
