Replacing the hot-swap hard disk drive backplane

This procedure applies only to the 5U server model with hot-swap power supplies.

To install the hard disk drive backplane on the 5U server model with hot-swap power supplies, complete the following steps.

1. Read the safety information in Safety and Installation guidelines.
2. Place the bottom edge of the hot-swap hard disk drive backplane in the lower lip of the drive cage.
3. 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.
