If you are installing an internal SCSI device, connect a DC power cable to the power input
connector on the SCSI device.
If you are installing an external SCSI device, connect the socket end of the power cable into the
AC power receptacle on the back of the SCSI device. Connect the other end of the power cable
into a standard electrical wall outlet.
Check all other cable connections. Fold all internal cables out of the way to provide airflow for the fan
or cooling vents.
10. If you installed an externally accessible device, remove a front-panel insert for the drive bay.
See " Removing and Replacing Front-Panel Inserts " for instructions.

installed, you must start the computer using a bootable diskette or CD.
To boot the system from a diskette, insert a bootable diskette (such as an operating system
installation or recovery diskette) into diskette drive A, and turn on the computer.
To boot the system from a CD, enter the System Setup program and set the Boot Sequence to
CD-ROM First. Insert a bootable CD (such as an operating system installation CD or the Dell

After you update the System Setup options, reboot the system.
