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 HP website (http://www.hp.com/products/servers/platforms). 
 
 
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 FBWC capacitor pack cabling is shown in the following images. The FBWC solution is a separately 
purchased option. This server supports FBWC module installation ("Flash-backed write cache procedures" 
on page 65) in the system board or in a storage controller. 
Depending on the controller option installed, the actual storage controller connectors might look different 
from what is shown in this section.
