Cable routing: Smart Array P824i-P Controller

Observe the following:

  • Do not store excess cabling in the rear of the server. This blocks airflow and increases heat inside the server.

  • Extra cable slack should be stored towards the front of the server, near the drive backplane.

Backup power cable

A smart storage battery is required with this controller. Your riser might look different from the one shown. To locate a backup power connector, see "Riser board components".
