After plugging in a cable, lock the connector using the latching mechanism particular to the
cable vendor. When a logical connection is made, Green LED1 will light. When data is being
transferred, Green LED1 will blink.
Care should be taken so as 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. The LED indicator will turn off when the cable is unseated.
