The cage houses the power supply unit, control, service, buffer, and peripheral cards.
The bottom of the cage includes six slots that allow I/O cables to be routed from the
front side of the cage to the routing holes on the side panels. The free space at the
bottom of the cage allows cables from the front of the panel to be routed from the front
side of the cage to the routing holes on the left and right panels. It also allows cool air
to flow inside the cage from the ventilation grille on the cage door. See
