ABSTRACT:
A system and method for managing a cable in a server system. The system includes a first paddle card coupled to a first end of the cable and a first light emitting diode (LED) coupled to the first paddle card. The first LED turns on to facilitate a user in locating the first end of the cable. The system also includes a second paddle card coupled to a second end of the cable and a second LED coupled to the second paddle card. The second LED turns on to facilitate the user in locating the second end of the cable. As a result, the ends of the cable can be conveniently and reliably located in a server system having multiple identical cables.
