Install the front 2.5-inch-drive backplane

Use this information to install the backplane for eight or ten 2.5-inch hot-swap drives.
About this task
The following describes how to install the backplane for ten 2.5-inch hot-swap drives. You can install the
backplane for eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drives in the same way.
Attention:
• Read "Installation Guidelines" on page 27 to ensure that you work safely.
• Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
• 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 backplane to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server. Then, take the 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 two pins on the backplane with the corresponding holes in the chassis.

backplane is fully seated in place.
