How to use
Power down the system and disconnect external power before installing the adapter cable. Align the 16‑pin CEM5 connector with the matching power output on the host power supply or backplane and insert until the connector latches.

After confirming proper connections, restore power and verify system power status according to the workstation or server diagnostics.
Usage recommendations
