Cabling overview
This section provides guidelines that help you make informed decisions about cabling the server and
hardware options to optimize performance.
Server cable routing
CAUTION: When routing cables, always be sure that the cables are not in a position where they can be
pinched or air flow can be blocked.
IMPORTANT: Route the cables without blocking the airflow or other installed components. Use the cable
clips installed in the chassis to manage cable routing.
