Complete the parts replacement

Go through the checklist to complete parts replacement

To complete the parts replacement, 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. Properly route and secure the cables in the server. Refer to the cable connecting and routing information for each component.

  3. If applicable, reinstall the air baffles. See Install the processor air baffle and Install the M.2 air baffle.
    Attention
    For proper cooling and airflow, reinstall the air baffle before turning on the server. Operating the server with the air baffle removed might damage server components.

  4. Reinstall the top cover. See Install the top cover.

  5. If the server was installed in a rack, reinstall the server into the rack. See Install the server to the rack.

  6. Reconnect the power cords and any cables that you removed.

    Attention
    To avoid component damage, connect the power cords last.

  7. Install the I/O fillers when the connectors are not used. The connectors could be damaged without proper protection of the fillers. See Front I/O fillers.

  8. Activate or unlock the server if necessary. See Activate or unlock the system.

  9. Power on the server and any peripheral devices. See Power on the server.

  10. If applicable, reinstall the security bezel. See Install the security bezel.

  11. Update the server configuration.
