Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from its electrical outlet. 2. Open the system. 3. Using alignment pins as guide, slide the cable retention bracket along the chassis wall until the tab snaps into place. 4. Place all cables to be routed in the cable retention bracket. 5. Install the cooling shroud. 6. Close the system. 7. Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached peripherals.
