Before you begin, obtain the following items: v A flat-blade screwdriver v An adjustable wrench...
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to “Completing the installation.” Completing the installation To complete the installation, you must reinstall the two-piece bezel, reinstall the side cover, connect all the cables and, for some devices, run the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Page 67
2. Install the lower bezel: a. Insert the two bottom tabs on the lower bezel into the matching holes in the front of the chassis. b. Rotate the top of the lower bezel up to the chassis; then, press the blue release tab on the right side of the lower bezel and completely close the lower bezel until it locks securely into place.
Reinstalling the side cover If you removed the bezel, reinstall it before you reinstall the side cover. See “Reinstalling the two-piece bezel” on page 52. Note: The rear adapter-retention bracket rests against the server side cover. You might find it easier to lay the server on its side to replace the side cover. To reinstall the side cover, complete the following steps: 1.
Connecting the cables Attention: To prevent damage to equipment, connect the power cords last. If the server cables and connector panel have color-coded connectors, match the color of each cable end with the color of the connector. For example, match a blue cable end to a blue connector on the panel, a red cable end with a red connector, and so on.
An optional Tower-to-Rack Kit is needed to convert the server from a tower model to a rack model. You can then install the server in a rack cabinet. To order a Tower-to-Rack Kit for the server, contact your IBM marketing representative or authorized reseller.
