Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables from the server.
Step 3. Remove the storage book (see “Removing the storage book” on page 273).
Step 4. Remove the drive bay fillers from the front of the server for the bays that are associated with the
backplane bay in which you are installing the backplane.
