Guidelines
• To be sure that each device is reinstalled in the original location, always note the
location of each device. Installing devices in different locations can create cooling
errors (fans) or location errors.
• Attempt to keep cables attached to all rear modules. If this is not possible, then note
cable locations to be sure the module is cabled correctly when the module is
reinstalled.
