• Power off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. See
“Power off the server” on page 73.
• 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.
• The rear drive cage is supported on some server models with thermal requirements. See
“Thermal rules”
on page 69
to ensure that the server is under permitted ambient temperature and the correct heat sink
and system fans are used. If needed, replace your heat sink or system fan first.

Procedure
Step 1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new part to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server. Then, take the new part out of the package and place it on a static-protective
surface.
Step 2. Connect cables to the drive backplane. See
Chapter 6 “Internal cable routing” on page 271.
Step 3. Install the drive backplane into the rear drive cage.
Figure 199. Installing the 8 x 2.5-inch rear drive backplane
a. Align the pins of the backplane with the holes at both sides of the drive cage.
b. Lower the backplane into the drive cage so that the pins of the backplane pass through the
holes on the drive cage, and press the backplane into position.
Step 4. Install the rear drive cage.
