Completing the FRU replacement
This section provides instructions on how to complete the FRU replacement.
After replacing the FRUs, you need to reinstall any removed parts, reconnect and route any internal cables,
reinstall the computer cover, and reconnect any external cables, such as power cords. Depending on the
FRUs replaced, you might need to conrm the updated information in the Setup Utility program, see Chapter
6 “Using the Setup Utility program” on page 39
.
Note: When the power cord is rst plugged in, the computer might appear to turn on for a few seconds and
then turn off. This is a normal sequence to enable the computer to initialize.
To reinstall the computer cover and reconnect cables to your computer:
1. Ensure that all components have been reassembled correctly and that no tools or loose screws are
left inside your computer. See “Locating components” on page 69
for the location of the various
components.
2. Reconnect any internal cables.
3. Position the computer cover on the chassis so that the rail guides on the bottom of the computer cover
engage the rails. Then, push the computer cover closed until it snaps into position.
