Install the Drive Power Cable

Installing a cable is a cold-service operation. You must power off the server before installing the cable.

1. Connect the cable to the motherboard.
   
2. Route the cable into the cable clamp and against the server wall.
3. If you removed the fan modules and tray, complete these prerequisites in this order.

   See:

   • Install the Fan Tray

   • Install a Fan Module

     Install all fan modules.

4. Connect the drive power cable to the drive backplane.

   See Cable Configurations.

5. If you installed a cable as part of another component's removal or installation procedure, return to that procedure.

   See Component Service Task Reference.

6. Finish the installation procedure.
