Removing the SAS Backplane

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You

should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your

product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and

support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered

by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the

product.

If applicable, remove the bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel."

Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system

from the electrical outlet.

Open the system. See "Opening the System."

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the drives and backplane, you must remove the

SAS drives from the system before removing the backplane.

CAUTION: You must note the number of each hard drive and temporarily label

them before removal to ensure that you can replace them in the same locations.

Remove all hard drives. See "Removing a Hot-Swap Hard Drive."

Disconnect the power cable from the end of the SAS backplane.

Disconnect the SAS data cables from the backplane.

Remove the SAS backplane from the system:

While pulling the blue latch toward the front of the system, slide the

backplane upward. See Figure 3-35.

When the backplane cannot slide upward any farther, pull the

backplane toward the back of the system to remove it from the

retention hooks.

Lift the board out of the system, being careful to avoid damaging

components on the face of the board.

Place the SAS backplane face down on a work surface.
