Installing or replacing the hot-swap
backplane
Your server may not have a hot-swap backplane. If your server was ordered with fixed
drives, it will not have a hot-swap backplane.
To install or replace the hot-swap backplane:
1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 37. Make
sure that you turn off the server, then unplug the power cord and all other cables
connected to the server.
2 Remove the bezel by unlocking it, then pulling it straight off the front of the chassis.
3 Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 38.
4 Follow the instructions in “Removing the air baffle” on page 42.
5 Remove all drives and drive carriers by following the instructions in “Installing or
replacing a hard drive” on page 53. Make note of which bay you remove each drive
from.
If you are installing a hot-swap backplane for the first time, go to Step 9. Otherwise
go to the next step.
6 Disconnect all cables from the backplane.
