To effectively manage the cables on this server, keep groups of cables secured
together, and do not run cables across the back of the server.
Notes:
1. Use cable ties to bundle similar cables together.
2. Use hook-and-loop straps to secure the cable bundles to the cable-management
arms.
3. When possible, separate data and power cables.
Attention: Do not secure cables too tightly. Overtightening can cause internal
damage to the cables.
SMP Expansion port cabling
Each server has up to six SMP expansion ports located on the back, depending on
your configuration. Three ports are located on each SMP Expansion Module in the
server.
For 16-way SMP Expansion port cabling, see “16-way SMP Expansion port cabling
(models 1VX, 2VX, 3VX only)” on page 117.

Note: In the illustration the SMP Expansion Modules are numbered from bottom to
top, 0 and 1. Notice that the SMP Expansion Ports are numbered left to
right, 1 through 3.
Complete the following steps to cable two SMP Expansion Modules in a single
server together for up to 8-way operation:
1. Using the two 25.4 cm (10 in.) long SMP Expansion cables, connect the two
SMP Expansion Modules together.
