11. 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” on page 17 for additional information.
12. If you have another adapter to install, repeat steps 5 through 11.
13. If you have installed a full-length adapter, rotate the front adapter-support
bracket to the closed (locked) position.
14. 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 frame-support bracket.
15. If you have other options to install, do so now; otherwise, continue with step
16.
16. Replace the support bracket (see “Removing and installing the support
bracket” on page 12).
17. Replace the side cover (see “Replacing the side cover” on page 40).
18. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the attached
devices and the server.
