4. Make sure that all cables, adapters, and other components are installed and seated correctly and that you have not left loose tools or parts inside the node. Make sure that all internal cables are correctly routed. If you disconnected the Fibre Channel and Ethernet cables, make sure that each cable is reconnected to the same port from which it was removed.
5. Replace the top cover. See Replacing the top cover.
6. If you removed the node from the rack, replace the node in the rack, as described in Replacing a node in a rack.
7. If you removed any Fibre Channel or Ethernet cables, use the labels you that placed on each cable to identify the ports from which they were removed.
8. If you removed the power cords, replace the power cords and the cable-retention brackets, as described in Replacing the cable-retention bracket.
9. If you removed the power cords, replace the power cords and the cable-retention brackets, as described in Replacing the cable-retention brackets: 2145-CG8 or 2145-CF8.
10. Lift the locking levers ( 1  in Figure 3) on the slide rails and push the node  2  all the way into the rack until it clicks into place.
