Installing the drive backplanes
This information provides instructions on how to install the drive backplanes in the server.
The following topics provide instructions on how to install the supported drive backplanes in the server.
Installing the 8x1.8-inch hot-swap drive backplane assembly
This information provides instructions on how to install the 8x1.8-inch drive backplane in the server.
Notes:
• The SAS/SATA adapter that you install in the server to control the backplane must be capable of
supporting two internal, 4-lane SAS/SATA signal connectors.
• The server must have a minimum of two compute books with microprocessors and memory installed to
support the controller, backplane, and drives.
• When you install a 8x1.8-inch drive backplane assembly, the drive IDs that are indicated on the server
front bezel will no longer be valid. Use the drive labels that come with the backplane to renumber the drive
IDs on the bezel.
• For more information about drive IDs, see “Drive IDs” on page 67. For more information about the
supported drive backplane configurations, see “Supported drive backplane configurations” on page 69.
