Cabling
Cabling overview
This section provides guidelines that help you make informed decisions about cabling the server and
hardware options to optimize performance.
For information on cabling peripheral components, refer to the white paper on high-density deployment at
the HP website (http://www.hp.com/products/servers/platforms
).
CAUTION: When routing cables, always be sure that the cables are not in a position where
they can be pinched or crimped.

CAUTION: When routing cables, use the cable trough between fan modules 1 and 2. Be sure
the cables do not interfere with fan module installation. Be sure to route the cables around the
DIMM connectors so as not to interfere with DIMM installation.
