Replacing the SCSI backplane

The six drive SCSI backplane is at the back of the drive cage. The backplane supports as many as six hot-pluggable LVD SCSI drives. The backplane provides activity LEDs for each drive.

To replace the SCSI backplane:

1Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if installed), and all external peripheral devices.

2Observe all safety and static electricity precautions. (See “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 22.)

3Remove the bezel. (See “Removing the bezel” on page 25.)

4Remove the left side cover panel. (See “Removing the side cover panel” on page 26.)

5Disconnect all cables to the hot-plug backplane, noting the connector locations so you can reconnect them after replacing the backplane.

6Remove all hot-plug drives, being careful to note which drive was in which slot.
