This chapter describes the characteristics of and the procedures to install a
backplane. Backplanes are pre-installed with all ATI chassis; however, you can
order just the backplane according to any changes in your network.
Follow the procedures in this chapter to remove your current backplane and
install a replacement. Installation procedures apply to any ATI backplane
listed in Table 4.

Each backplane comes with a label, either "Segmented" or "Standard," for
