Step 7 Open the double doors for the drive cage.
Step 8 Remove the drive cage.
a) Disconnect the motherboard sensor connector from the motherboard by hand.
b) Using a long standard screwdriver, disconnect the ribbon cable from the each of the FPC motherboard connectors
by swiping the connector towards the chassis front panel.
The FPC connectors have small hinges that open by pivoting toward the chassis front panel. When a
connector opens, its ribbon cable is disconnected. The ribbon cable is attached to the inside of the drive
cage, which can add resistance when you remove the drive cage.
Note
c) Using a screwdriver, rotate each of the screws counter-clockwise until it disengages.
d) Lift the drive cage out of the chassis.
If the ribbon cables for the FPC connectors cause resistance when you lift the drive cage, pull the cables to detach
them from the drive cage.
The following image shows the screws and components.
