Storage device cabling guidelines

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the equipment, be sure that the

server is powered down, all cables are disconnected from the back of
the server, and the power cord is disconnected from the grounded
(earthed) AC outlet before installing devices.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly

ground the server before beginning any installation procedure. Improper
grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.

PCI-X Hot Plug mezzanine cabling

The server supports an optional PCI-X Hot Plug mezzanine board that provides
hot-plug capability for two expansion slots. A ribbon cable connects the PCI-X
Hot Plug button to the PCI-X Hot Plug mezzanine board.
