Connecting cables, power cords, and installing side covers on your
preinstalled enclosure
Use this procedure to reconnect cables, power cords, and install the side covers on your preinstalled disk
drive enclosure.
To reconnect cables, attach power cords, and install the side covers, complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap attached. If not, attach it now.
2. 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.
3. Reinstall the left cover (A), which contains the service indicators, and the right cover (B).
4. Fit the slot on the top of the cover over the tab on the chassis flange.
5. Rotate the cover down until it snaps into place. Make sure that the inside surface of the cover is flush
with the chassis.
