SCSI backplane
To remove the SCSI backplane:
1. Extend the server from the rack. See “Extending the server from the rack” earlier in this chapter.
2. Power down the server. See “Powering down the server” earlier in this chapter.
3. Unseat all the hot-plug SCSI hard drives, and pull them away from the SCSI backplane. See “Hot-plug SCSI
hard drives” earlier in this chapter.
NOTE: If you plan to take the hard drives out of the drive cage, label them so that they will be installed in the
same slot.
4. Remove the access panel. See “Removing the access panel” earlier in this chapter.
5. Disconnect any SCSI cables from the SCSI backplane. See “SCSI cables” earlier in this chapter.
