Replacing the System Backplane
To replace the system backplane, do the following:
1. Before handling any card, board, or memory DIMM, be sure to use your electrostatic discharge strap
to minimize static-electric discharge. Refer to "Handling Static-Sensitive Devices" on page 244.
2. If necessary, remove the system backplane from the antistatic package.
3. Carefully grasp the system backplane along two edges.
4. Lower the system backplane at an angle, with the rear of the backplane connecting with the system
chassis first.
5. Slide the system backplane towards the rear of the system chassis, and align the retaining screw
hole with the mating screw hole located on the system chassis.
