wires to the new location.

Carefully pull excess slack in the beacon wires down from the top of the rack.

Cut one or two of the bottommost wire ties that bundle the wires. This will free

up more slack.

Prise one or more sticky backs off of their mounting locations to free up more

slack.

Use the 3 enclosed wire connectors (ETC Part# J4629 - use

one for each wire) and lengths of additional black/red/blue

wires to splice new lengths onto the existing wires so they may

reach the new connector location.

Make Connections and Install the New Backplane

Step 1:

Remove the 3-pin Phoenix connector that ships attached to the

rear of the backplane. It will not be used in this retrofit.

Step 2:

Verify that the 4-pin Molex caps are in place over the connectors next to where

the phoenix connector was attached.

Step 3:

Bend one arm of the backplane metal in towards the opposite arm (about 30

deg).

Step 4:

Insert the backplane metal on an angle. Then straighten it once it is past the face

of the rack. Push it into the rack far enough that it stays in place, but leave

yourself some room to make the power and data connections.
