Install The Hard Disk Drive Backplane - Sun Oracle SPARC T3-2 Service Manual

▼ Install the Hard Disk Drive Backplane

1. Unpack the replacement power supply backplane and place it on an antistatic
mat.
2. Insert the hard disk drive backplane into the chassis.
Verify that the hard disk drive backplane is seated properly at the bottom, in the
small slot near the DVD drive.
3. Lift up the metal hook and press the hard disk drive backplane to the front
until it snaps into place.
4. Replace the power cable, ribbon data cable, and SAS cables to their original
locations.
Note – The mini-SAS plug must be inserted into the upper mini-SAS connector on
the disk backplane. This short cable connects the DVD to its USB bridge on the
motherboard. The longer SAS cable connects drive bays 4 and 5 to a storage device in
the rear of the system. The lower mini-SAS connector on the disk backplane requires
the standard, four-channel mini-SAS cable for drive bays 0 to 3.
