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. See "2.5-inch/3.5-inch drive backplane (power)" on page 66
and "2.5-inch/3.5-inch drive backplane (signal)" on page 71.
Step 3.
Install the 3.5-inch-drive backplane.

a.
Align the backplane with the chassis and lower it into the chassis. Then, put the backplane into
place with it leaning backward slightly.

through the corresponding holes in the backplane. Then, slide the new backplane as shown
until it is secured into place.
Step 4.
Connect the cables to the system board. See "2.5-inch/3.5-inch drive backplane (power)" on page
66 and "2.5-inch/3.5-inch drive backplane (signal)" on page 71.
