9. Connect required cables to the adapter. Route cables so that they do not block
the flow of air from the fans. If you are installing an optional SCSI adapter, see
“Cabling an optional SCSI adapter” for additional information.
10. If you have another adapter to install, repeat steps 3 through 9
11. If you have installed a full-length adapter, rotate the front adapter-support
bracket to the closed (locked) position.
12. Reinstall the rear adapter-retention bracket; then, rotate the bracket to the
closed (locked) position.
Note: If any adapters in your server are large or have heavy cables attached
to them, you can remove the rear adapter-retention bracket and secure
all of the adapters with expansion-slot screws. The expansion-slot
screws are stored on the back of the server next to slot 1.
13. If you have other options to install, do so now; otherwise, go to “Completing
the installation” on page 71
Cabling an optional SCSI adapter
You can install an optional SCSI adapter in your server to control the internal hard
disk drives. With a SCSI adapter installed, you can configure the internal hard disk
drives into disk arrays. You can also cable a SCSI adapter to external hard disk
drives. See your SCSI adapter option documentation for complete instructions for
installing a SCSI adapter in your server and for additional information about SCSI
adapters.
