Removing the SATA or SCSI Backplane
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See “Safety
Information.”
2. Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable(s).
3. Remove the chassis cover. For instructions, see “Removing the Chassis Cover.”
4. Remove all hot-swap drive carriers. For instructions, see “Removing a SATA or SCSI Hot-
swap Hard Disk Drive.”
5. Disconnect all cables from the backplane:
6. Loosen the blue captive screw at the center of the backplane. See letter “A” in the figure below
7. Slide the board to the left until it stops. Do not pull on any components on the board – grasp
only on the edges of the board.
8. Lift the backplane from the chassis. The holes in the backplane will slide from the matching
pins in the chassis. If any of the pins catches on the holes, it means you have not slid the board
fully to the right. See letter “B” in the figure.
