Installing a SCSI Backplane Daughter Card

To operate the SCSI backplane in a 2x3 split backplane configuration, you must install a daughter card.

CAUTION:

Before you perform this procedure, you must turn off the system and disconnect it from its

power source. For more information, see "

Safety First—For You and Your System

" in "Troubleshooting

Your System."

CAUTION:

See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety instructions in your System

Information document.

NOTICE:

Before installing a SCSI backplane daughter card, back up your data to prevent data loss.

NOTE:

Your system supports two- or five-drive configurations. The two-drive configuration is supported with the 1x5

backplane configuration, and the five-drive configuration is supported with the 2x3 backplane configuration. Upgrading

to a five- drive configuration requires that you add a SCSI backplane daughter card.
