After plugging in a cable, lock the connector using the latching mechanism particular to the
cable vendor. When data is being transferred the Green LED will blink.
Make sure not to impede the air exhaust flow through the ventilation holes. Use cable lengths
that allow for routing horizontally around to the side of the chassis before bending upward or
downward in the rack.
To remove a cable, disengage the locks and slowly pull the connector away from the port
receptacle. LED indicator will turn off when the cable is unseated.

5.9.1 Power-Up Sequence
The 12V_ATX voltage can exceed the 12V_PCIE voltage by a maximum allowable voltage
difference (dV) when the 12V_ATX reaches 11V. See below graph and table describing the dV
between the 12V_ATX and 12V_PCIE voltages.
