Storage device cabling guidelines
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the equipment, be sure that the server is powered down, all cables are
disconnected from the back of the server, and the power cord is disconnected from the grounded (earthed)
AC outlet before installing devices.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server before beginning any
installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
PCI-X Hot Plug mezzanine cabling
The server supports an optional PCI-X Hot Plug mezzanine board that provides hot-plug capability for two
expansion slots. A ribbon cable connects the PCI-X Hot Plug button to the PCI-X Hot Plug mezzanine
board.
