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.
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.
