Install the new backplane:

a.

 

Lower the backplane into the system and carefully feed the control cable through the opening in the backplane.

Ensure that any other cables will not interfere or be damaged when installing the new backplane.

Slide the backplane downward until the blue retention pin snaps into place.

 

3.

Connect the control panel cable to the control panel connector on the SCSI backplane. See
