Step 4.
Connect the cables to the system board. See "2.5-inch/3.5-inch drive backplane (power)" on page
70 and "2.5-inch/3.5-inch drive backplane (signal)" on page 75.
Install the middle or rear 2.5-inch-drive backplane
Use this information to install the middle or rear 2.5-inch-drive backplane.
About this task
Your server supports:
• Two types of middle 2.5-inch-drive backplane
– 4 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane
– 4 x 2.5-inch NVMe backplane
• Three types of rear 2.5-inch-drive backplane
– 4 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane
– 4 x 2.5-inch NVMe backplane
– 8 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane
Notes:
• The procedure shows the installation of the backplane on the rear drive cage. The procedure is the same
for installing the backplane on the middle drive cage.
Attention:
• Read "Installation Guidelines" on page 134 to ensure that you work safely.
• 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.

Procedure
Step 1.
Touch the static-protective package that contains the new backplane to any unpainted surface on
the outside of the server. Then, take the new backplane out of the package and place it on a static-
protective surface.
Step 2.
Connect the cables to the backplane.
Step 3.
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.
