Attention: To avoid damage to the SAS cables, consider the following

precautions:

v When you route the cable along a folding cable-management arm, leave enough

slack in the cable.

v Route the cable away from places where it can be damaged by other devices in

the rack cabinet.

v Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Make sure that

the cable is well supported.

To connect a mini-SAS cable, insert the mini-SAS connector into a mini-SAS port.

Make sure that it locks into place.
