from the server. Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an AC power
source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position.
To remove the backplane:
The backplanes for the servers with 4 LFF HDDs and 8 SFF HDDs share the same replacement
procedures. Here we take the SAS/SATA backplane for the server with 4 LFF HDDs as an example
for your reference.

2. Refer to the “Optical Media Device Bay” and “Hard drives” sections in this chapter for detailed
procedures.
3. Remove the top cover.
4. Remove all cables connected to the backplane.
