Cabling the server
Notes:
1. You must turn off the server before connecting any cables to or disconnecting
any cables from the server.
2. See the documentation that comes with your options for additional cabling
instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you install certain
options.
3. Cable identifiers are printed on the cables that come with your server and
options. Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct connectors.
For example, the hard disk drive cables are labeled “HDD option.”
The following illustration shows the external cable connectors on the server. If you
are installing a server in a rack, see the
Rack Installation Instructions
documentation for cabling instructions for your server.
