Step 7. Connect the cable to the newly-installed adapter.
Step 8. Perform any configuration tasks that are required for the adapter.
Step 9. Reinstall the cover (see "Replacing the cover" on page 120).

Step 11. Reconnect the power cords and any cables that you removed.
Step 12. Turn on the peripheral devices and the server.
Step 13. If you are replacing a ServeRAID adapter, import your RAID configuration to the replacement
adapter as a foreign configuration. See the ServeRAID-M Software User Guide at
