1. Ensure that all of the components are installed as described in the component
replacement instructions.
See Section 4.5, “Component Replacement Procedures” on page 4-6.
2. Reinstall any PCI-Express (PCIe) cards or peripherals that you had previously
removed.
See Section 4.5, “Component Replacement Procedures” on page 4-6.
3. Reinstall the system’s cover.
See Section 4.3, “Powering Off the Server and Removing the Cover” on page 4-3.
