Removing the backplane Prerequisites CAUTION: To prevent damage to the drives and backplane, you must remove the drives from the system before removing the backplane. CAUTION: You must note the slot number of each drive and temporarily label them before removal so that you can replace them in the same slots. 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 drive cage. 4. Disconnect all the cables from the backplane. Steps 1. Orient the drive cage so that the drive bays are facing down. 2. Using the Phillips #2 screwdriver, remove the screws that secure the backplane to the drive cage. 3.
