To install the USB Cable and Light Path Diagnostic Assembly:

  1. Squeeze the retaining clips on each side of the USB cable connector and insert the connector into the mounting bracket then release the retaining clips.
  2. Feed the cables into the server then insert the hinge tab on the bottom of the bracket into the slot in the chassis and rotate the top of the bracket toward the server until it latches into place.
  3. Route the light path diagnostic cable in the server and secure in the retainers, and then connect it to the system board.
  4. Route the USB cable in the server and secure in the retainer and connect it to the system board.
