Removing the simple-swap backplate

Page 102 highlights

2. Route the hard disk drive signal and power cables through the slots on the edge of the hard disk drive fan assembly. Make sure that the cables will not be pinched between the hard disk drive assembly and the hard disk drive backplane when the assembly is installed. 3. Rotate the hard disk drive fan assembly toward the backplane until the release tabs are fully engaged on the drive cage. 4. Rotate the drive cage toward the front of the server until it stops; then, press and hold the retaining tab on top of the drive cage while you rotate the drive cage into the chassis until it locks into place. 5. Connect the hard disk drive fan assembly cable to the system board (see "System-board internal connectors" on page 9 for the location of the hard disk drive fan connector). 6. Reinstall the hard disk drives. Note: Before you continue, check all internal power cables to be sure that they are connected to the system board and other optional devices. 7. Install the side cover (see "Installing the side cover" on page 53). 8. Lock the side cover if you unlocked it during removal. 9. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the attached devices and turn on the server. Removing the simple-swap backplate This procedure applies only to server models with the simple-swap SATA backplate installed on the back of the hard disk drive cage. To remove the simple-swap backplate, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Installation guidelines" on page 47. 2. Turn off the server and all attached devices; then, disconnect all power cords and external cables. 3. Unlock and remove the side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 52). 4. Remove the lower bezel (see "Removing the lower bezel" on page 54). 5. Remove the simple-swap hard disk drives that are installed in the hard disk drive cage (see "Removing a simple-swap hard disk drive" on page 70). 6. Remove the hard disk drive fan assembly from the hard disk drive cage (see "Removing the hard disk drive fan assembly" on page 81). 7. Disconnect the power cables from the simple-swap backplate. 8. Disconnect the signal cables from the system board. 9. Press and hold the drive cage release tab; then, rotate the drive cage out of the chassis until the retaining tab on top of the cage locks into place. 10. Lift up on the retaining latch at the top of the drive cage; then, tilt the top of the simple-swap backplate away from the drive cage until it is clear of the locating pins. 84 System x3200 M2 Types 4367 and 4368: Problem Determination and Service Guide
