Removing the drive backplane
Prerequisites
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the drives and backplane, remove the drives from the system before removing
the backplane.
CAUTION: Note the number of each drive and temporarily label them before you remove the drive so that you
can reinstall them in the same location.
NOTE: The procedure to remove the backplane is similar for all backplane configurations.
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions.
2. Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system.
3. Remove the backplane cover.
4. If installed, remove the air shroud.
5. Remove the drives.
6. Observe and disconnect the drive backplane cables from the connector on the system board and backplane.
NOTE: Refer cable routing topic for more information.
Steps
1. Press the release tab to disengage the drive backplane from the hooks on the system.
2. Lift and pull the drive backplane out of the system.
NOTE:
To avoid damaging the backplane, ensure that you move the control panel cables from the cable routing clips
before removing the backplane.
