Working with cables There are many different cables that connect to the rear of the server. These include Ethernet, USB, video, pointing device, serial, and power cables. This section describes how to manage these cables. Notes: 1. Refer to the following illustration to locate the connectors on the back of your server. 2. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware. Ethernet 1 connector Mouse or auxiliary pointing device connector Keyboard connector Ethernet 2 connector USB 2 Serial Video USB 1 connector connector To effectively manage the cables on this server, keep groups of cables secured together, and do not run cables across the back of the server. Notes: 1. Use cable ties to bundle like cables together. 2. Use hook-and-loop straps to secure the cable bundles to the vertical rails of the rack. 3. When possible, separate data and power cables. For more information on cable routing, see the cabling instructions for your xSeries 300 server on the World Wide Web at http://www.pc.ibm.com/support. 4. Do not secure cables too tightly. Overtightening can cause internal damage to cables. 54 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 300
