SCSI Hot-docking Backplane
The system may be configured with one or two SCSI hot-docking
backplanes.
Removing a Hot-docking Backplane
See Figure 4-28.
1. Observe the warnings and cautions on page 3, “Safety Guidelines.”
2. Remove all the hard disk drives from the hot-docking bay. See
Chapter 5, “SCSI Backplane and Drives: Hot-swapping and
Configuring.” Label each drive so that you can install them in the same
place.
3. Remove the right side cover (page 80).
4. Label and disconnect the power and signal cable connectors from the
hot-docking backplane. And, if present, disconnect the auxiliary fan
connector.
5. Remove the four screws that attach the backplane to the back of the
hot-docking bay, and set them aside.
6. Remove the backplane from the system, and place it on an antistatic
surface.
Installing a Hot-docking Backplane
See Figure 4-28.
1. Observe the warnings and cautions on page 3, “Safety Guidelines.”
2. Slide the hot-docking backplane into the notches in the metal tabs on the
back of the bay.
3. Position the screw holes in the backplane over the stand offs on the back
of the bay.
4. While holding the backplane in place, insert the four screws through the
holes in the backplane and into the standoffs. Tighten the screws firmly
(6.0 inch-pounds).
5. Connect the power and signal cables to the hot-docking backplane.
6. Install the hard disk drives in the hot-docking bay. See Chapter 5,
“SCSI Backplane and Drives: Hot-swapping and Configuring .” Make
sure you install the drives in the same places you removed them from.
7. Replace the right side cover (page 81).
