from the backplanes. For more information, (see “Removing a hot-swap hard
disk drive” on page 154).
7. Disconnect all cables from the system board and backplanes.
8. Install the new backplane in slot 2 or slot 3 depending on your configuration.
Insert the backplane tabs into slots on the bottom of the cage and push the
backplane forward into the release latch (on top of the backplane cage) until
the backplane is locked in place.
Note: You can connect the cables to the drive backplane before installing the
backplane onto the cage or you can connect the cables after you install the
backplane, if that is easier for you.
9. Connect mini-SAS HD cables, power/configuration and Mini-SAS HD Y-cable
which come with the option kit to the backplanes and the system board.
