To prevent component damage and potential signal interference, make sure that all cables are in their appropriate routing position
before installing a new component and before closing up the server after hardware installation/maintenance.
When disconnecting cablesWhen disconnecting cables
Grip the body of the cable connector. Do not pull on the cable itself because this action can damage the internal wires of the cable or
the pins on the port.
If a cable does not disconnect easily, check for any release latch that must be pressed to disconnect the cable.
Remove cables that are no longer being used. Retaining them inside the server can restrict airflow. If you intend to use the removed
cables later, label and store them for future use.
