Installing The Tape Backup Unit - Dell PowerEdge E31S Series Owner's Manual

Ensure you note the routing of the power and data cables inside the chassis as you remove them from the system board and
the tape backup unit. You must route these cables properly when you replace them to prevent them from being pinched or
crimped.
2. To remove the tape backup unit, press the release tab and slide the tape backup unit out of the tape backup unit slot.
NOTE: If the tape backup unit is being permanently removed, install a tape backup unit blank by sliding it into the slot
until it snaps into place.
NOTE: The procedure to install and remove the tape backup unit blank is similar to that of the tape backup unit.
NOTE: Tape backup unit blank must be installed in empty tape backup unit slot to maintain FCC certification of the
system. The blank also keeps dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.
