To remove the SCSI backplane, follow these steps:
Step 1.
If rack-mounted, slide the server out from the rack until it stops. (See “Accessing a Rack-Mounted
Server” on page 177.)

Remove the front bezel. (See “Removing the Front Bezel” on page 180.)
Step 3.
Remove the front cover. (See “Removing the Front Cover” on page 181.)
Step 4.

Step 5.
Remove the processor extender board. (See “Removing the Processor Extender Board” on page 192.)
Step 6.
Remove the two hot-pluggable disk drives. (See “Hot-Pluggable Disk Drives” on page 250.)
Step 7.
Unplug the internal SCSI cables from the SCSI backplane.
Step 8.
Unplug the SCSI backplane-to-midplane riser cable from the SCSI backplane.
Step 9.
Remove the hot-pluggable disk drives. (See “Removing a Hot-Pluggable Disk Drive” on page 250.)
Step 10.
Turn the swivel latch on top of the hot-pluggable hard disk drive cage to unlatch the SCSI
backplane from the cage.
Step 11.
Grasp the top edge of the SCSI backplane and pull up until it releases from the keyway slots on the
back of the hot-pluggable disk drive cage.
Step 12.
Push the SCSI backplane away from the disk drive cage and lift it up and out of the chassis.
