Hewlett Packard ML350 Gen8 System Insight Display (SID) plug.

We have a client getting new ML350 Gen8 Rack Mount server and everything was going good until......i could not for the life of me find where to plug the SID in.  Now normal people probably wouldn't have thrown the instructions away, but i'm a man i need no instructions........Nek Minnit

A few hours later of blah this Google that i thought i would look a little bit deeper....

Inside the machine on the front cover between the Optical drive and BOX 2 the front LED's have another cable tied around the main LED cable for the front panel, this cable is the cable to plug the SID into.

ZzzzZZzz why is it not easily visible  some little HP worker is laughing at me now hes probably the same guy who screw in the ML350 bottom cover that i had to take off for the RACK mount kit, i couldn't unscrew it so it just drilled it out...That'll teach you to mess with me.
