2001 Volvo S60 Front Wheel Drive Manual 142000 miles

Hi I have a Volvo s60 2.0t 5cylinder I have fitted an alternator to this car. I tried to start it and I found that the engine was seized. I then striped the alternator out of the vehicle and found that the alternator had seized. Is there a special procedure that I have missed out on that I need to do?
Thank you. (Irfan Husain)

If this is an aftermarket alernator then I would strongly suggest you return it and by the alternator from Volvo.
