system is operational, reconnect the cable and see the online help of
your Dell OpenManage storage management application for the required recovery
steps.

damage due to improper cooling.
NOTE: For more information on removing peripherals installed in the system’s
PCI-E slots, see the Hardware Owner’s Manual shipped with your system or at
