Completing the installation

To complete the installation, you must reinstall the top cover, reinstall the bezel, reconnect all cables that you disconnected, and, for certain options, run the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Follow the instructions in this section.

Attention: For correct cooling and airflow, install the top cover before turning on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (over 30 minutes) with the top cover removed might damage server components.
