Step 9. Re-check Fault LED Cable Connections (optional)

Be sure that the proper failed drive channel information is dis-

played by the fault LEDs. An improper connection will tell the user

to ‘‘Hot Swap’’ the wrong drive. This can result in removing the

wrong disk (one that is functioning properly) from the controller.

This can result in failure and loss of system data.

Step 10. Power up the System

Throughly check the installation, reinstall the computer cover, and

reconnect the power cord cables. Turn on the power switch at the

rear of the computer (if equipped) and then press the power but-

ton at the front of the host computer.
