Installing System Components

Installing the SAS Backplane

1 Lower the backplane into the system, being careful to avoid damaging

components on the face of the board.

2 Align the slots in the backplane with the retention hooks on the back of

the drive bays, then move the backplane forward until the retention hooks
fit through the slots in the backplane. See Figure 3-35.

3 Slide the backplane downward until the two blue retention latches snap

into place.

4 Connect the SAS data and power cables to the SAS backplane.
5 Install the hard drives in their original locations.
6 Connect the optical drive cable, USB cable, and the control panel cable to

the system board.

CAUTION:

Handle the cables gently to prevent damage.

NOTE:

In case of the twelve–hard-drive systems, connect the internal

hard-drive cables.

7 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 89.
8 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on,

including any attached peripherals.
