Installing and Removing the SATA or
SCSI Backplane (Optional)
You received your server chassis with your choice of one of drive
installation options:
• A hot-swap SCSI option that came with a SCSI backplane board.
• A hot-swap SATA option that came with a SATA backplane board.
• A fixed SATA drive option. This option does not include a board to
install.
CAUTION: The backplane is NOT hot swappable. Before removing
or replacing the backplane, you must first take the server out of
service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system,
turn off the system by pressing the power button, and unplug the
AC power cord from the system or wall outlet.
The backplane board and the hardware that came with the backplane
can be replaced if your backplane fails or if a different option is
required. To replace the backplane, use the following instructions to
remove and then to install a backplane.
