Before you remove any component of a RAID array, back up all RAID configuration
information.
To remove the hard disk drive backplane cable assembly, complete the following steps.
Step 1
Read the safety information and “Installation guidelines”.
Step 2
Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external
cables as necessary to replace the device.
Step 3
Remove the top cover (see “Removing the top cover”).
Step 4
Pull the hard disk drives and fillers out of the server slightly to disengage them from the SAS
backplane. If you remove the drives from the server, be sure to note the location of each drive
so that you will be able to reinstall them in the correct drive bays.
Step 5
Slide the latch on top of the backplane assembly while you pull the blue handle on the
backplane cable assembly up to remove it from the server. The cables are attached to the
assembly.
Step 6
Disconnect the power and configuration cables from the hard disk drive backplane.
Step 7
If you are instructed to return the hard disk drive backplane assembly, follow all packaging
instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
