Installing the Backplane into the Chassis
1. Power down the system as described in Section 5-2 and open the chassis
cover.
2. Ensure that all of the hard drive carriers have been removed from the bays in
the front of the chassis and that the spring bar has been loosened as directed
in the previous section.
3. Slide the backplane into the chassis at a slight angle, pushing it up against
the side of the chassis.
4. Ease the backplane forward, against the front of the chassis. This will aid in
the alignment of the mounting holes.
5. Align the mounting holes in the backplane with the holes in the chassis. Re-
place the four screws at the top of the backplane and the three screws in the
floor of the chassis.
6. Reconnect all cables and return the hard drive trays to their bays in the front
of the chassis.
