Closing the cover and connecting cables
After replacing the hardware, you need to install any removed parts, replace the cover, and reconnect any cables, including telephone lines and power cords. Also, depending on the FRU that was replaced, you might need to confirm the updated information in the Setup Utility program.
1.Ensure that all components have been reassembled correctly and that no tools or loose screws are left inside your computer.
2.Make sure that the cables are routed correctly before lowering the drive bay assembly.
3.Lower the drive bay assembly and position the drive locks to the locked position. Otherwise, you cannot close the cover.
4.Close and latch the cover.
5.If a cover lock is installed, lock the cover.
6.If your computer is being placed in the vertical position, attach the floor stand.
Attention: To prevent overheating and possible component damage, always attach the floor stand when placing the computer in the vertical position.
