CAUTION:

this procedure.

Step 1.
Connect the power cable to the backplane. If this cable is connected to the storage interposer, you
might find it easier to disconnect it from the storage interposer and then reconnect it to the storage
interposer after the backplane is installed. See "Cable routing for drives" on page 45.
Step 2.
Install the hard disk drive backplane.
Note: Existing cables might need to be removed from their retaining clips or moved to the side to
install the backplane.

Align the backplane with its location in the tray; then, insert the backplane and push it down until it
is fully seated.
Step 3.
Connect the data cables to the backplane. (SAS backplanes have only one data cable. NVMe
backplanes have two data cables.) See "Cable routing for drives" on page 45.
Step 4.
Repeat Step 1 on page 144, Step 2 on page 144, and Step 3 on page 144 for each hard disk drive
backplane being installed in the upper tray.
Step 5.
Turn the tray upside down.
