Replacing the SCSI backplane
Your server has two hot-swap cages that can each hold four SCSI drives. Each
hot-swap cage is connected to a SCSI backplane. The pictures in this procedure
show replacing the upper SCSI backplane. The other backplane can be replaced
in the same manner.
To replace the SCSI backplane:
1
Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 27 .
2
Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 28 .
3
Remove the fan nearest the SCSI backplane. For instructions, see
“Replacing a fan” on page 69 .

Remove each of the drives from the hot-swap cage, and note the location
of each drive. For instructions, see
“Installing a SCSI hard drive” on
page 42 .
