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.

Item	Description

A	Floppy Drive Connector

B	IDE Optical Drive Connector

C	SCA2 Hard Drive Connectors

D	6th Hard Drive Upgrade Kit

E	Control Panel Connector

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.
