Procedure
Step 1. Connect cables to the backplane.
Step 2. Align the bottom of the backplane with the studs at the bottom of the drive cage. Rotate the
backplane to vertical position so that the holes in the backplane pass through the pins on the drive
cage, and press the backplane into position. The release latches will secure the backplane in place.
