Connecting cables, power cords, and installing covers
Use this procedure to reconnect cables, power cords, and install the side covers.
To reconnect cables, attach power
cords, and install the side covers, complete the following steps:
- Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap attached. If not, attach it now.
- If your installation requirements
included the removal of the SAS cables from the ESMs, review the labeling
that you completed and reinstall the cables.Note: Do not apply power until instructed to do so.
- Route the power cords through the
power cord retention brackets (D) for strain
relief, as shown in the following figure.Figure 1. Routing the power cords through the cord retention brackets
- Connect the power cords to the
left and right power supplies.Figure 2. Connecting the power cords
- Reinstall the left cover (A),
which contains the service indicators, and the right cover (B).
- Fit the slot on the top of the cover over the tab on the chassis flange.
- Rotate the cover down until
it snaps into place. Ensure that the inside surface of the cover is
flush with the chassis.Figure 3. Attaching the side covers
- Connect the other end of the power cables to the power distribution units (PDUs).
- If you powered down either the system or the partition before you connected the storage enclosure cables to it, power on the system or partition. If you did not power down the system or partition, depending on the option you chose in the beginning of this procedure, you might need to reconfigure the adapters.
