Always install the drive backplane to the drive bay 0-7 when there is only one backplane.
• Two drive backplanes:
Two types of drive backplanes are supported by this system:
– 2.5-inch SATA/SAS 8-bay backplane (referred to as “8-bay backplane”)
– 2.5-inch AnyBay 8-bay backplane (referred to as “AnyBay backplane”)
When installing a AnyBay backplane and a 8-bay backplane, always install the AnyBay
backplane to drive bay 0-7, and the 8-bay backplane to drive bay 8-15.
Step 2. Align the tabs on the bottom of the drive backplane with the slots on the system board, and insert
them into the slots.
Step 3. Push the top of the drive backplane toward the front of the server until it clicks in place.
