SCSI Backplane

The Hot-Swap SCSI Backplane installs on the back side of the hot-swap
drive bay inside the chassis. Alignment features on the chassis and
backplane assembly make for easy tool-less installation. The following
diagram shows the layout of components and connectors on the Hot-
swap SCSI Backplane printed circuit board.

Note: To prevent the backplane from flexing when installing or
removing hard drives from the drive bay, the system top cover
must be on the system. Having the top cover installed will ensure
the drives attach securely to the drive connectors on the
backplane.
