Removal and Replacement Procedures- Slim Tower (ST) Chassis 7.7 Cable Management The Slim Tower chassis is a very compact computer and proper routing of the internal cables is critical to the operation of the computer. Follow good cable management practices when working inside the computer. ■ Keep cables away from major heat sources like the heatsink. ■ 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 parts like the drive cage to prevent their being cut when the drive cage is being seated. ■ Keep cables clear of rotating parts like the power supply to prevent their being cut or crimped when the power supply is lowered. ■ When folding a flat ribbon cable, never fold to a sharp crease. Sharp creases may damage the wires. ■ Some flat ribbon cables come prefolded. Never change the folds on these cables. ■ 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. 7-14 361293-003 Service Reference Guide, dx6100
