Cable Management Always follow good cable management practices when working inside the computer. ● Keep cables away from major heat sources like the heat sink. ● Do not jam cables on top of expansion cards or memory modules. Printed circuit cards like these are not designed to take excessive pressure on them. ● Keep cables clear of sliding or moveable parts to prevent their being cut or crimped when the parts are moved. ● Do not bend any cable sharply. A sharp bend can break the internal wires. ● Never bend a SATA data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius. ● Never crease a SATA data cable. ● Do not rely on components like the drive cage, power supply, or computer cover to push cables down into the chassis. Always position the cables to lay properly by themselves. System board connectors are color-coded to make it easier to find the proper connection.

Do not bend any cable sharply. A sharp bend can break the internal wires.
Never bend a SATA data cable tighter than a 30 mm (1.18 in) radius.
Never crease a SATA data cable.
Do not rely on components like the drive cage, power supply, or computer cover to push cables
down into the chassis. Always position the cables to lay properly by themselves.
