Completing the parts replacement This topic provides instructions to help you complete the parts replacement and turn on your server. To complete the parts replacement, you must properly route the cables inside the server, reinstall the server cover, reconnect all the external cables and, for some devices, update the firmware and run the Setup Utility program to do further setup. Reinstalling the server cover and reconnecting cables Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding "Safety information" on page iii and "Guidelines" on page 51. This topic provides instructions on how to reinstall the server cover and reconnect cables to your server. Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, reinstall the server cover before turning on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the server cover removed might damage server components. Before you begin, print all the related instructions or ensure that you can view the PDF version on another computer for reference. Note: Depending on the model, your server might look slightly different from the illustrations in this topic. To reinstall the server cover and reconnect cables to your server, do the following: 1. Ensure that all components have been reassembled correctly and that no tools or loose screws are left inside your server. 2. Ensure that all internal cables are routed correctly and secured by any cable clips or ties in the server. Keep cables clear of the hinges and sides of the server chassis to avoid interference with reinstalling the cooling shroud and the server cover. 3. If you have removed the cooling shroud, reinstall it. See "Removing and reinstalling the cooling shroud" on page 56. 128 ThinkServer RD350 User Guide and Hardware Maintenance Manual
