Backplanes: server models with 2.5-inch front drive bays
This section provides backplane cable connection information for server models with 2.5-inch front drive
bays.
Ensure below parts are removed before starting cable routing for front backplanes.
• Top cover (see
“Remove the top cover” on page 148)
• Air baffle (see
“Remove the air baffle” on page 50)
