How to insert the cable correctly
Proper orientation of cable must be followed when connecting it to the interface card port. The illustration
below describes the wrong and correct cable orientation. The direction of the interface card installed in
the PCIe slot dictates the proper positioning of the cable. If you insert the cable in a wrong orientation
and try to force it in, this will damage the end-connector. Once the end-connector of the cable is
damaged, the entire cable must be replaced. A broken or damaged cable connector can lead to
instability or link failure between expansion unit and host system.
The Interface card is installed vertically as illustrated below. The image on the left side is the correct
orientation of the cable, the orange plastic tab is facing toward the right side. The image on the right is
the incorrect cable orientation.
