Returning the Server to Operation
Caution - Do not remove the protective plastic covers from the connectors on the cable until you are ready to plug a cable connector into a socket. Unprotected connectors can be damaged as you push them into the server. |
Note - Do not discard the plastic covers. You will use them to return the old cable.
Note - A torque screwdriver is included with the replacement cable.
Caution - Avoid excessive handling of the cable. Repeated bending of the cable can break wiring to individual connector pins, as can sharp bending of the wires. |
Note - To identify the top of the bracket, look at the opening for the I/O power cable in the center of the bracket. The rectangular opening has two screw holes and a small notch on the top. The bottom of the rectangular opening has only one screw hole.
Use four T20 Torx screws at 15 in-lb for each cable bracket.
Install cable subassembly T3/T4 at the top of the bracket. A label on the top of the cable bracket identifies this subassembly as TOP.
Install cable subassembly T1/T2 at the bottom of the bracket. A label on the top of the cable bracket identifies this subassembly as BOTTOM.
Follow these rules.
Avoid sharp bending of the cables.
Work slowly to avoid dislodging the connector covers.
Orient the T6/T7/T8/T9 connectors with the plastic plate facing the midplane. This orientation reduces the amount of twisting needed to install the connectors in their sockets and minimizes the danger of breaking the wires in the cable assembly.
Route the cables under the lower bus bar and let them hang down in front of the midplane for now.
Do not discard the plastic cover.
Tighten the screw to 15 in-lb. See Torque Reference.
Do not discard the plastic cover.
Note - The cable connectors in the plastic block are keyed with flat tops. Align the tops of the cables to make it easier to insert the block in the connector on the midplane. If the block does not insert easily, rotate the individual cable ends so that the flat portions of the cable ends are all aligned and facing up.
Caution - Tighten the screws alternately, several turns at a time. If the plastic block is not kept parallel to the midplane, stress from the screws can break the block. |

The cable assembly might undergo failure analysis at the factory, so handle the cable assembly carefully.
Follow these rules.
Reuse the package that contained the replacement cable.
Place plastic covers on the connectors to prevent damage to the pins.
Do not put sharp bends in the cable. Internal connections to wires can break.
Do not press on the guide pins. The guide pins can bend and break.
Pack the torque screwdriver securely in the package. The torque screwdriver should not be free to move inside the package.
Include any remaining connector covers.
