To reinstall a SATA/SAS backplane:

1.Position the backplane into its slot with the component side facing the rear panel, and the power connectors on top.

2.Align the backplane with the rail-like dents on the slot to ensure that it fits securely.

3.Slide the backplane into the slot until it fits. If correctly installed, the outer edge of the backplane aligns with the corner of the drive cage.

4.Fasten the 2 screws on the backplane.

5.Connect the appropriate cables to the backplane. Refer to section

2.9.2 SATA/SAS backplane connections for details.
