Removing the drive backplane
Prerequisites
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the drives and backplane, remove the drives from the system before removing
the backplane.
CAUTION:
Note the number of each drive and temporarily label them before you remove the drive so that you
can reinstall them in the same location.
