Removal and Replacement Procedures— Small Form Factor (SFF) Chassis

7.8.2Cable Management

ÄCAUTION: You must keep the drive data and power cables clear of the power supply and the power supply fan to avoid damage or restrict air flow.

Follow these guidelines when routing the cables in the computer:

1.Route the optical drive audio cable 1 (if needed) along the back of the optical drive and then down, alongside of the drive cage to the floor of the chassis. Route this cable behind the hard drive data cable.

2.Route the optical drive power cable 2 down, alongside of the drive cage to the floor of the chassis. Keep the cable clear of the power supply fan.

3.Fold the diskette drive flat-ribbon data cable 3 near the connector on the drive. Route the cable up high on the drive cage (near the cable connectors), then folding again to lay beneath the optical drive data cable.

4.The cable clip 4 is stamped from the back of the drive cage and secures the diskette drive power cable.

Always follow good cable management practices when working inside the computer.

■Keep cables away from major heat sources like the heatsink.

■Do not jam cables on top of expansion cards or memory modules. Printed circuit cards like these are not designed to take excessive pressure.

■Keep cables clear of sliding or moveable parts to prevent their being cut or crimped when the parts are moved.

■When folding a flat ribbon cable, never fold to a sharp crease. Sharp creases may damage the wires.

■Some flat ribbon cables come prefolded. Never change the folds on these cables.

■Do not bend any cable sharply. A sharp bend can break the internal wires.
