  1. You must turn off the server before you connect or disconnect cables.
  2. See the documentation that comes with any external devices for additional cabling instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you connect the devices to the server.
  3. Cable identifiers are printed on the cables that come with the server and optional devices. Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct connectors.
Refer to the Internal cable routing and connectors for internal cable routing information.
