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:
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. Route the power cords through the power cord retention brackets (D) for strain relief, as shown in the
following figure.
