Replacing the hot-swap hard disk drive backplane

This procedure applies only to the 5U server model with hot-swap power supplies (Model name: 2582-F4x).

To install the hard disk drive backplane on the 5U server model with hot-swap power supplies (Model name: 2582-F4x), complete the following steps.

  1. Place the bottom edge of the hot-swap hard disk drive backplane in the lower lip of the drive cage.
  2. Connect the power, signal and configuration cables to the hard disk drive backplane.
    Note
    Make sure that Port 1 on the hardware ServeRAID is connected to Port 1 on the backplane. Likewise, Port 0 on the hardware ServeRAID should be connected to Port 0 on the backplane.


  3. Install the four screws that secure the hot-swap hard disk drive backplane to the drive cage.

  4. Press and hold the retaining tab on the side of the cage; then, rotate the drive cage into the chassis until it locks into place.
    Note
    You may need to slightly lift up the cage in order to press and hold the retaining tab.


  5. Install the hard disk drive fan duct onto the hard disk drive cage (see Replacing the hard disk drive fan duct).
  6. Stand the server back up in its vertical position.
  7. Install the hot-swap hard disk drives that you removed from the hard disk drive cage (see Replacing a hot-swap hard disk drive).
  8. Install the lower bezel (see Replacing the lower bezel).
  9. Install and lock the side cover (see Replacing the side cover).
  10. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the attached devices and turn on the server.
