• See the documentation that comes with an optional 2.5-inch drive backplane for device-specific
information and information about installing other components that might be included as part of the option
or about other components or modules that must be installed to use the option. For example, some
optional 2.5-inch drive backplanes might require installation of a second processor.
To install a 2.5-inch drive backplane, complete the following steps:
Watch the procedure. A video of the installation process is available:

Step 1. Align the backplane with the storage cage and the connector on the system board and press the
backplane into position until it is fully seated in the connector.
Note: All 2.5-inch drive backplanes use the same connector on the system board; however, there
are two alignment slots in the storage cage to accommodate different backplane types. Make sure
that you align the backplane and system board connectors when inserting the backplane in the
storage cage.
After you install the 2.5-inch drive backplane, complete the following steps:
1. If the RAID adapter was removed, install it now. (see “Install a RAID adapter” on page 79).
2. Install any removed storage drives and drive bay fillers (see “Install a 2.5-inch hot-swap drive” on page
27).
Note: Install any storage drives in the same bay locations as from which they were removed.
3. Install the compute node cover (see “Install the compute node cover” on page 43 ).
4. Install the compute node into the chassis (see “Install the compute node in the chassis” on page 25 ).
5. Power on the compute node.
