Routing the Power Cord and Peripheral Device
Cables
Cords and cables connected to the server rear panel are routed through a fixed
cable tray that prevents loose cabling in the rear of the rack and protects
connectors from damage that results when cables are disconnected improperly.
For detailed instructions on how to route cables through the fixed cable tray,
see “Securing the Cables in the Fixed Cable Tray” in Chapter 4, “Installing the
Server.”
When multiple ProLiant DL320 servers are installed in a rack, the fixed cable
trays effectively organize the rear panel cabling.

properly routed cabling
External Mass Storage Cabling
The ProLiant DL320 server supports external mass storage devices only
through an optional PCI expansion board. For detailed information, refer to the
documentation that ships with your optional PCI expansion board.
