HP RDX Removable Disk Backup System - Manual (Page 16)

Connect cables to the server
Decide which USB cable to use
Look at the diagram on the inside of the side panel of the server to establish whether the server has an
internal USB port and its location. This may be a Type A USB connector or a special 5–pin connector
with one pin missing for keying.
Three USB cables are supplied with your RDX Removable Disk Backup System.
• Many HP ProLiant servers have the special USB connector on the system board, which may be
orientated vertically or horizontally. Two cables are supplied for connecting to a special USB
connector because there are two types of pin layout.

• Other servers have a Type A internal USB port, possibly on the server’s system board or on an
internal USB card; this option uses the standard USB cable.
Connect the USB cable to the server
Use the cable supplied with the RDX Removable Disk Backup System to connect to the server.
• If your server has a standard USB port with a Type A (flat) connector, use the supplied, standard
USB cable. You can use cable ties to tidy excess cable length.
