The following procedures details how to remove and replace a failed SAS backplane. The backplane
supports four SAS disk drives on the SAS backplane.

Removing the SAS Backplane

Use the following procedure to remove the failed SAS backplane from the server blade.
1.

Power off the server and remove it from the enclosure.

See

“Preparing the Server Blade for Servicing” (page 113)

Remove the SAS disk drives or disk drive blanks.

See

“Removing a SAS Disk Drive” (page 111)

, or

“Removing a Disk Drive Blank” (page 112)

Remove the right access panel.

See

“Removing the Right Access Panel” (page 116)

Unplug the SAS cable from the system board.
