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 backplane to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server. And then, take the backplane out of the package and place it on a static-
protective surface.
Step 2. Connect the cables to the backplane. See
Chapter 6 “Internal cable routing” on page 249.
Step 3. Put the backplane down into place.
