Install the front 2.5-inch-drive backplane
Use this information to install the backplane for eight or ten 2.5-inch hot-swap drives.
About this task
The following describes how to install the backplane for ten 2.5-inch hot-swap drives. You can install the
backplane for eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drives in the same way.
Attention:
• Read Installation Guidelines to ensure that you work safely.
• Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
• 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 system.

Procedure
Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the backplane to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server. 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 2.5-inch/3.5-inch drive backplane (power) and 2.5-inch/
3.5-inch drive backplane (signal).
Step 3. Align the two pins on the backplane with the corresponding holes in the chassis.
