Rotating InfiniBand Connectors
If the InfiniBand cable connector is not properly oriented to fit onto the port receptacle when you
attempt to insert it, do not twist the connector to achieve the correct orientation.

to the proper orientation. Doing this prevents applying all of the rotational force directly at the plug
terminations.
