Chapter 6. Internal cable routing
See this section to do cable routing for specific components.
To connect cables, observe the following guidelines:
• Turn off the server before you connect or disconnect any internal cables.
• See the documentation that comes with any external devices for additional cabling instructions. It might
be easier for you to route cables before you connect the devices to the server.
• Cable identifiers of some cables are printed on the cables that come with the server and optional devices.
Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct connectors.
• Ensure that the cable is not pinched and does not cover any connectors or obstruct any components on
the system board assembly.
• Ensure that the relevant cables pass through the cable clips.
• Ensure the following cables pass through the cable wall brackets for better server thermal performance.
– Signal cables that connect front backplanes and PCIe connectors 1/2 on the processor board
– Signal cables that connect rear backplanes or riser 3 and PCIe connectors 1/2/3/4 on the processor
board
– Fan board power cable and signal cables
