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.
