Checking cables

Procedure

  1. If you are installing Rack-2, and the PCIe and SPCN cable bundle is pre-installed in Rack-2, at the rear of each I/O enclosure gently push on each PCIe cable (P1-C7-T1 and P1-C7-T2) to ensure that it is fully seated and latched. See Figure 1.
    Note: If the PCIe and SPCN cable bundle is not pre-installed in Rack-2, this step does not apply.
