ABSTRACT:
A carrier that houses an external cable terminated at a male cable connector that mates with a female midplane connector on a midplane in a server blade computer is presented. The carrier includes side channel guides that align the carrier with the female midplane connector for a precise mating with the male cable connector. A light channel in the carrier captures light from a status light emitting diode (LED) at the midplane, and transmits that light to an externally visible end of the carrier.
