Servicing the Boot Disk Backplane (FRU)
The Oracle Database Appliance (original version) boot disk backplane (BDB) serves as an
interface between the motherboard and the rear-mounted disk drives.
The boot disk backplane is a FRU and can only be replaced by an Oracle-qualified service
technician.
Caution - Equipment damage. These procedures require that you handle components that are
sensitive to static discharge. This sensitivity can cause the component to fail. To avoid damage,
ensure that you follow antistatic practices as described in “Performing Electrostatic Discharge
and Antistatic Prevention Measures” on page 34.
