WARNING Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources have been
disconnected from the server before attempting this procedure.
NOTE Some restrictions apply to the mass storage devices that can be connected to the core I/O SCSI
HBA. If you convert the server to duplex configuration, you cannot install external SCSI
devices to the SCSI HBA core I/O controller.
Accessing the SCSI Backplane
Before adding the accessories required to convert the server from simplex to duplex, you must remove outer
components to access the SCSI backplane. To gain access to the SCSI backplane, follow these steps:
Step 1. If rack-mounted, slide the server out from the rack until it stops. See “Extend the Server from the
Rack” on page 64.
NOTE If the server is pedestal-mounted, you need not remove the pedestal to perform the
simplex to duplex conversion. Proceed directly to the next step.
Step 2. Remove the front bezel. (See “Removing the Front Bezel” on page 71.)
Step 3. Remove the front cover. (See “Removing the Front Cover” on page 72.)
Step 4. Remove the memory extender board. (See “Removing a Memory Extender Board” on page 98.)
Step 5. Remove the processor extender board. (See “Removing the Processor Extender Board” on page 88.)
