3.If an option is installed on the riser card for full-height PCI boards, remove the riser card.

4.Disconnect the SCSI cable from the system board.

5.Connect the connector on the backplane side of the SCSI cable you formed in step 1, to the SCSI backplane connector.

6.Attach the FAN bracket in reverse order of step 2.

NOTE: Put the SCSI cable through the tunnel under the full-length riser card receiver of the bracket. Attach the bracket while making sure that the cable is not caught in the bracket. Also make sure that the signal cable from the power supply unit that runs through the slit on the left side of the bracket is not caught when attaching the bracket.

7.Route the cable so that it runs avoiding the insulator mounted on the full-height riser card.

If having removed the riser card for full-height PCI boards in step 3, lift up the connector on the disk array controller side of the provided SCSI cable for a disk array configuration, and connect the riser card to the connector. At this time, be careful not to damage the provided SCSI cable that runs under the riser card.

8.Connect the connector on the disk array controller side of the provided SCSI cable for a disk array configuration to the disk array controller.

9.Start the BIOS setup utility, select [Boot], and set the new boot priority.
