Servicing Cables
Caution - These procedures require that you handle components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. This sensitivity can cause the components to fail. To avoid damage,
ensure that you follow antistatic practices as described in “Prevent ESD Damage” on page 41.
Caution - The system supplies power to the cables even when the server is powered off.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the server, you must disconnect power cords before
servicing the cables.
These topics describe how to service server cables.
