CAUTION: You must note the number of each drive and temporarily label them before removal so that you can replace them in the same locations. NOTE: Observe the routing of the cables on the chassis as you remove them from the system. You must route these cables properly when you replace them to prevent the cables from being pinched or crimped. 1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions. 2. Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your enclosure. 3. Remove the backplane cover. 4. Remove the fan cages. 5. If applicable, disconnect the backplane and expander board cables from the linking board and chassis management board. 6. Remove all the drives. 68 Installing and removing enclosure components
