9. Connect required cables to the adapter. Route cables so that they do not block
the flow of air from the fans. If you are installing an optional SCSI adapter, see
"Cabling an optional SCSI adapter" for additional information.
10. If you have another adapter to install, repeat steps 1 through 9.
11. If you have installed a full-length adapter, rotate the front adapter-support
bracket to the closed (locked) position.
Note: If any adapter in your computer is large or has heavy cables attached to
it, you can secure the adapter with a screw: insert one backup
expansion-slot screw (stored on the frame-support bracket) through the
top of each adapter bracket into the screw hole and secure the adapter
before proceeding to the next step. If you use a screw to secure an
adapter, you will need to secure all adapters with screws. You cannot
use both the screws and the retention brackets to secure an adapter.
You must use one or the other.
12. Reinstall the rear adapter-retention bracket; then, rotate the bracket to the
closed (locked) position.
Note: The rear retention bracket rests against the computer side cover. You
might find it easier to lay the computer on its side to replace the side
cover.
13. If you have other options to install, do so now; otherwise, replace the side
cover (see "Replacing the side cover" on page 40), reconnect the external
cables and power cords, and turn on the computer. Then, go to "Completing
the installation" on page 40.
Cabling an optional SCSI adapter: You can install an optional SCSI adapter in
your computer to control the internal hard disk drives. With a SCSI adapter
installed, you can configure the internal hard disk drives into disk arrays. You can
also cable a SCSI adapter to external hard disk drives. See your SCSI adapter
option documentation for complete instructions for installing a SCSI adapter in your
computer and for additional information about SCSI adapters.
