If not already done, route the interface and RAID battery cables in the 
cable path inside the right interior wall of the chassis beneath the cable 
retention bracket. See "Cable Routing" and Figure 3-21 through 
Figure 3-23.

Connect the SAS A cable to the SAS A connector on the backplane and, if 
applicable, connect the SAS B cable to the SAS B connector on the 
backplane.

8

Close the system. See "Closing the System."

9

Reconnect your system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn 
on the system.
