Replacing the hot-plug backplane 75

board.

10 Reconnect the power cord and the external peripherals, then turn on the
system.
Replacing the hot-plug backplane
The six drive hot-plug backplane is at the back of the hot-plug drive cage.
The backplane supports as many as six hot-swappable LVD SCSI drives. The
backplane provides activity LEDs for each drive. If the backplane fails, you
must replace it.
To replace the hot-plug backplane:
1 Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord and all external
peripheral devices.
2 Open the case. (See “Opening the case” on page 23 and “Preventing static
electricity discharge” on page 22.)
3 Disconnect all cables to the hot-plug backplane, noting the connectors
so you can reconnect them after replacing the backplane.
4 Remove all hot-plug drives, being careful to note which drive was in
which slot.
5 Loosen the two captive thumbscrews that secure the backplane in the
bracket.
