Install the 2.5-inch rear drive backplane
Use this information to install the 2.5-inch rear drive backplane.
About this task
Attention:
• Read
“Installation Guidelines” on page 51 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 52 to ensure that you
work safely.
• Power off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. See
“Power off the server” on page 68.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding systems.
Procedure
Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the rear backplane to any unpainted surface on
the outside of the server. Then, take the rear backplane out of the package and place it on a static-
protective surface.
Step 2. Align the rear backplane with the rear hot-swap drive cage and lower it into the rear hot-swap drive
cage.

remove them before plugging in.
