Removing and Replacing the Hard Disk Backplane Board

This section describes how to remove and replace the Hard Disk backplane board.
NOTE Prior to removing the Backplane Board, the Front, Top, and Left Side panels,
the Power Supply, the PCI Retainer Clip and the Hard Disk Drives need to be
removed. See the appropriate section(s) for removing and replacing these
components.

Replacing the Hard Disk Backplane Board

1. Two cables should be disconnected:
• The SCSI ribbon cable from bottom of the hard disk backplane board. Pull on the
loop to disconnect it.
• Remove the backplane power cable from the top right edge of the hard disk
backplane board: squeeze the tab and pull it out.
2. Remove the four T-15 Torx screws from the hard disk backplane board.
3. Gently pull the lower edge of the hard disk backplane board outward a short distance
from the internal chassis wall. Then raise the backplane board straight up to release it
from the chassis hooks at the top and the two retainer tabs at the bottom.
4. Lift the hard disk backplane board straight out.
NOTE The hard disk backplane board will not be removable if you have forgotten to
remove any of the hard disk drives.
