External Cabling
The following sections describe the proper cabling procedures for peripheral
devices and external mass storage devices supported by the ProLiant DL360
G2 server.
Connecting the Power Cord and Peripheral Devices
After all internal options have been installed, replace the server access panel
and connect the peripheral device cables and power cord.
Rear panel cabling on the ProLiant DL360 G2 server must always be
connected and disconnected in a specific sequence. For a detailed explanation
of connectors and the proper cabling sequence, see “Connecting the Power
Cord and Peripheral Devices” in Chapter 4, “Server Installation.”
CAUTION: Always follow the cabling order for the ProLiant DL360 G2 server
because an improper cabling sequence may result in electrical damage to
peripheral devices.
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, “Server
Installation.”
When multiple ProLiant DL360 G2 servers are installed in a rack, the fixed
cable trays effectively organize the rear panel cabling.
