2-26 Compaq ProLiant ML530 Servers Maintenance and Service Guide
Cable Routing Diagrams
The location and routing of each cable in Compaq ProLiant ML530 servers is shown in the
following diagrams. For further information, refer to the Compaq ProLiant ML530 Setup and
Installation Guide. To improve serviceability, the signal cables and system board are
color-coded as follows:
■ Blue = SCSI A
■ Yellow = SCSI B
■ Orange = CD-ROM drive
■ Purple = Diskette drive
When replacing the system board or power backplane board, remove the cables in the following
sequence for easier accessibility.
CAUTION: Due to the sliding design of the system board tray, the cables must be routed
properly. Cables can be damaged by pinching or chafing if not routed or contained properly.
IMPORTANT: Some cables are held to the side of the chassis with cable clips or are bound by straps
with hook-and-loop fasteners to keep the cables properly stored. The clips can be opened by releasing
the clip tab. Replace the cable in the clips or strap when completing cable routing procedures.
NOTE: Remove the PCI bracket for easier access. See “PCI Bracket” later in the chapter.
