System drives cable routing
This section shows the cable routing diagrams for the system drives. For related cable routing procedure for each
type of drive, refer to the corresponding step(s) in the drive configuration sections later in this chapter.
CAUTION: Route the drive cables neatly. If necessary, secure them using the pre-installed cable clips located
on the chassis base. The cables should be routed in a position where they will not be pinched or crimped by
the top cover, nor should they hamper proper airflow inside the chassis.
