Step 3. Insert the bottom of the backplane into the slots on the bottom of the chassis. Then, rotate the
backplane to vertical position and align the holes in the backplane with the pins on the chassis and
press the backplane into position. The release tabs will secure the backplane in place.

Step 4. Apply drive bay labels based on the type of the installed backplanes. Several drive bay labels come
with each type of the supported drive backplane:
• 4–7
Apply this label to drive bays 4–7 if a SATA/SAS 8-bay backplane is installed to drive bays 0–7.
• 12–15
Apply this label to drive bays 12–15 if a SATA/SAS 8-bay backplane is installed to drive bays 8–
15.
• 4–7 (NVMe)
Apply this label to drive bays 4–7 if an AnyBay 8-bay backplane is installed to drive bays 0–7.
• 12–15 (NVMe)
