Replacing the hot-swap backplane
To replace the hot-swap backplane:
1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 41. Make
sure that you turn off the server, then unplug the power cord(s) and all other cables
connected to the server.
2 Unlock the bezel (if necessary) and remove it by pulling it straight off the front of
the server.
3 Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 42.
4 Remove all of the hot-swap drive carriers from the server and make note of which
bay you remove each drive from. For instructions, see “Installing a hard drive” on
page 60.
5 Disconnect all cables from the backplane.
6 Loosen the blue captive thumbscrew in the middle of the backplane.
Caution The hot-swap backplane is not hot-swappable. Before removing or
replacing the backplane, you must first turn off the server and all
peripheral devices attached to the server, and remove the AC power
cord(s) from the power supply or wall outlet.
