Complete the parts replacement

To complete the parts replacement, do the following:

1. Make sure that all components have been reassembled correctly and that no tools or loose screws are left inside the node.

2. Properly route and secure the cables in the node. Refer to the cable connecting and routing information for each component (see Internal cable routing).

3. Reinstall the required air baffles (see Install an air baffle).

   Attention

   For proper cooling and airflow, make sure to install the required air baffles before turning on the node. Operating the node without the air baffle(s) might damage node components.

4. Reinstall the node into the chassis (see Install a node to the chassis).

5. Make sure that the required power supply units are installed and power cords are connected; then, power on the node (see Install a hot-swap power supply and Power on the node).

6. Update the system configuration.

   • Download and install the latest device drivers: Lenovo Data Center Support.

   • Update the system firmware. See Update the firmware.

   • Update the UEFI configuration. See UEFI manual for ThinkSystem server.

   • Reconfigure the disk arrays if you have installed or removed a hot-swap drive or a RAID adapter. See Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager portal page for the LXPM documentation compatible with your system.
