6. Ensure that all cables are firmly connected and arranged so that they will not catch on the computer cover or block airflow inside the system.
7. Install the cooling shroud. See " Installing the Cooling Shroud " in "Installing System Components."
8. Install the cover. See " Replacing the Cover " in "Troubleshooting Your System."
9. Stand the system upright.
10. Install the bezel. See " Installing the Bezel " in "Troubleshooting Your System."
11. Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached peripherals.
12. Partition and logically format the hard drive. See the operating system documentation for more information.
13. Install any required device drivers.
14. Run the hard drive tests in the system diagnostics to determine whether the drive operates properly. See " Running the System Diagnostics ."
If the drive is connected to a SATA RAID controller card, see the RAID controller card documentation for information on testing the controller.
If the drive is connected to a SCSI controller card, run the SCSI controller tests and the hard-drive tests in the system diagnostics. See " Running the
System Diagnostics ."
If the hard drive fails the hard-drive tests or does not operate properly, see " Getting Help ."
Front-Access SCSI Hard Drives (Non-Hot-Plug)
The drive bays in a system with an optional SCSI backplane board and optional non-RAID SCSI controller card provide space for up to four front-access SCSI
hard drives. The hard drives plug into the SCSI backplane board, which is connected to the controller card (see
Figure 7 -10 .) For instructions on installing the
optional SCSI backplane board, see " Installing the Optional SCSI Backplane Board ."
