Install the PS Backplane

This is a cold-service procedure that must be performed by qualified service personnel. Power

down the server completely before performing this procedure.

Caution -

This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to ESD which

can cause server components to fail.

Unpack the replacement PS backplane and place it on an antistatic mat.

Hold the PS backplane at the end of the power supply cage at an angle, and

connect the AC cables to the AC connectors on the PS backplane.

Ensure that each AC cable is connected to the appropriate connector. You must connect the AC

cable on the right to the AC connector on the right, and connect the AC cable on the left to the

AC connector on the left.

Insert the PS backplane into position (panel 1).
