Replacing The Scsi Backplane - Gateway 7400 System Manual

Replacing the SCSI backplane

The six drive SCSI backplane is at the back of the drive cage. The backplane
supports as many as six hot-pluggable LVD SCSI drives. The backplane
provides activity LEDs for each drive.
To replace the SCSI backplane:
1
Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2
Observe all safety and static electricity precautions. (See "Preventing static
electricity discharge" on page 22.)
3
Remove the bezel. (See "Removing the bezel" on page 25.)
4
Remove the left side cover panel. (See "Removing the side cover panel"
on page 26.)
5
Disconnect all cables to the hot-plug backplane, noting the connector
locations so you can reconnect them after replacing the backplane.
6
Remove all hot-plug drives, being careful to note which drive was in
which slot.
