Reinstalling The Server Cover And Reconnecting Cables - Lenovo ThinkServer RD530 Hardware Maintenance Manual

To complete the parts replacement, you must properly route the cables inside the server, reinstall the cooling
shroud (if necessary), reinstall the server cover, reconnect all the external cables and, for some devices,
update the firmware and run the Setup Utility program to do further setup.

Reinstalling the server cover and reconnecting cables

Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding "Safety information"
on page iii and "Guidelines" on page 61.
This topic provides instructions on how to reinstall the server cover and reconnect cables to your server.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, reinstall the server cover before turning on the server. Operating
the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the server cover removed might
damage server components.
Before you begin, print all the related instructions or ensure that you can view the PDF version on another
computer for reference.
Note: Depending on the model, your server might look slightly different from the illustrations in this topic.
To reinstall the server cover and reconnect cables to your server, do the following:
1. Ensure that all components have been reassembled correctly and that no tools or loose screws are
left inside your server.
2. Ensure that all internal cables are routed correctly and secured by any cable clips or ties in the server.
Keep cables clear of the hinges and sides of the server chassis to avoid interference with reinstalling the
cooling shroud and the server cover. The following illustration shows an example of the cable routing in
the chassis with one backplanes and four 3.5-inch hard disk drives.
