Connecting  the  cables 
Attention:  To  prevent  damage  to  equipment,  connect  the  power  cords  last. 
If  the  server  cables  and  connector  panel  have  color-coded  connections,  match  the 
color  of  the  cable  end  with  the  color  of  the  connector.  For  example,  match  a  blue 
cable  end  with  a  blue  panel  connector,  a  red  cable  end  with  a  red  connector,  and 
so  on. 
The  following  illustration  shows  the  input/output  (I/O)  connectors  on  the  rear  of  the 
hot-swap  power  supply  models  with  optional  redundant  power.
