Cable management
Always follow good cable management practices when working inside the computer.
●
Keep cables away from major heat sources like the heat sink.
●
Keep cables clear of sliding or moveable parts to prevent them from being cut or crimped when the parts
are moved.
●
When folding a flat ribbon cable, never fold to a sharp crease. Sharp creases may damage the wires.
●
Do not bend any cable sharply. 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.
