The latch on the cable’s connector should be at the top as you insert it into the controller.
Removing Cables From the Xserve RAID and Host Systems
The connectors on fibre channel cables may require special handling when you remove them from the RAID controller or fibre channel card. Follow these steps to remove a fibre channel cable.
1Push the cable’s connector inward slightly, then squeeze the latch release and gently remove the cable.
2If you have difficulty squeezing the latch release, use a small flat tool, such as a tiny screwdriver or the end of the cover for the card opening, to depress the latch release.
