About this task
The server supports the following types of 3.5-inch front drive backplanes:
• 3.5-inch SAS/SATA 8-bay backplane
• 3.5-inch SAS/SATA 12-bay backplane
• 3.5-inch AnyBay 12-bay backplane
• 3.5-inch 12-bay backplane with expander
The following uses the 3.5-inch SAS/SATA 12-bay backplane as an example for illustration. The procedure is
the same for the other backplanes.
Attention:
• Read “Installation Guidelines” on page 55 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 56 to ensure that you
work safely.
• To avoid damage to the drive connectors, make sure that the server top cover is in place and fully closed
whenever you install or remove a drive.
• To make sure that there is adequate system cooling, do not operate the server for more than two minutes
without either a drive or a drive bay filler installed in each bay.
