Procedure
To remove the hard disk drive backplane, complete the following steps.
1.
Remove the cover (see “Removing the compute node cover” on page 498).
2.
For the hard disk drive backplane that you have to replace, disconnect the
applicable hard disk drive by pressing the release latch (orange) on the hard
disk drive to release the drive handle; then, use the drive handle to slide the
hard disk drive approximately 12 mm (0.5 in.) out of the bay. See “Removing a
hot-swap hard disk drive” on page 522).
3.
To disconnect the cable from the hard disk drive backplane that you removed,
pull the connector clip away from the cable to unhook the clip from the
backplane as you push the cable connector toward the rear of the compute
node
