Cabling guidelines
WARNING!
To avoid electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not connect communication equipment
to RJ-45 Ethernet ports on the server.
•
For heat dissipation, make sure no cables block the inlet or outlet air vents of the fan modules,
heatsinks, GPUs, and PSUs.
•
To easily identify ports and connect/disconnect cables, make sure the cables do not cross.
•
Label the cables for easy identification of the cables.
•
Wrap unused cables onto an appropriate position on the rack.
•
To avoid damage to cables when extending the server out of the rack, do not route the cables
too tight if you use cable management brackets.
