Hardware Owner’s Manual.

5 Remove the cable retention bracket from the right interior wall of the

chassis by pushing the blue release latch and sliding the bracket toward the
front of the system until the bracket detaches from the chassis slots.

6 Route the SATA cable in the cable channel in the right wall of the chassis

and replace the cable retention bracket over the cable. See Figure 1-4.

7 Route the SATA cable along the top of the cable retention bracket to the

central riser.
