Connecting cables, power cords, and installing covers

To reconnect cables, attach power cords, and install the side covers, complete the steps in this procedure.

1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so 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.

   

4. Connect the power cords to the left and right power supplies.

   

5. Reinstall the left cover (A), which contains the service indicators, and the right cover (B).
   1. Fit the slot on the top of the cover over the tab on the chassis flange.
   2. Rotate the cover down until it snaps into place. Ensure that the inside surface of the cover is flush with the chassis.

      

6. Choose from the following options:
   1. If you powered down either the system or the logical partition before you connected the storage enclosure cables to it, power on the system or partition.
   2. If you did not power down the system or partition, depending on the option you chose in the beginning of this procedure, you might need to reconfigure the adapters.
7. Connect the other end of the power cables to the power distribution units (PDUs).
