Replacing the Interconnect Board

To replace the interconnect board, follow these steps:

CAUTION: Handle the interconnect board carefully, or you can damage the plastic insulator material on the back of the board.

NOTE: Use the guide posts located on the chassis and keyways located on the interconnect board to help you with the interconnect board removal and replacement procedures.

1.Place the interconnect board onto the guide posts.

2.Insert your fingers into the board handle and push the board toward the rear of the chassis until it plugs into the socket on the midplane board (Figure 6-36).

3.Replace the SAS backplane. See “Replacing the SAS Backplane Board” (page 249).

4.Guide the interconnect board air baffle into the chassis and snap it into place (Figure 6-35).

CAUTION: When reconnecting the SAS cables, note the labeling on the channel cables. Both cables and sockets are clearly marked with the correct channel.Match each cable with the appropriate socket on the SAS core I/O card. If the cables are mismatched, the server operating system may not reboot.

5.Reconnect the SAS data and power cables into the connectors on the SAS backplane (Figure 6-34).

6.Replace the display board. See “Replacing the Display Board” (page 245).

7.Replace the SAS disk drives. See “Replacing a Hot-Pluggable Disk Drive” (page 190).
