Cable management
Always follow good cable management practices when working inside the computer.
•
Keep cables away from major heat sources like the heat sink.
•
Do not jam cables on top of expansion cards or memory modules. Printed circuit cards are not
designed to withstand excessive pressure.
•
Keep cables clear of sliding or moveable parts to prevent cutting or crimping.
•
When folding a flat ribbon cable, never fold to a sharp crease. Sharp creases may damage the
wires.
•
Some flat ribbon cables come pre-folded. Never change the folds on these cables.
•
Do not sharply bend any cable. A sharp bend can break the internal wires.
•
Never bend a SATA data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius.
•
Never crease a SATA data cable.
•
Do not rely on components like the drive cage, power supply, or system cover to push cables
down into the chassis.
The next steps illustrate the removal of power cables from connectors P26, 27, and 28.
