Removing and Replacing the SCSI Backplane Board
Use these procedures to remove and replace the SCSI backplane board. The SCSI backplane board is
attached to the rear of the disk media housing at the front, right side of the chassis.
WARNING Ensure that the server is powered down and all power sources have been
disconnected from the server prior to removing or replacing the SCSI backplane.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an ac power
source is connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in
the off position.
Failure to observe this warning could result in personal injury or damage to
equipment.
CAUTION Failure to properly complete the steps in this procedure may result in erratic server behavior or
server failure. For assistance with this procedure contact your local HP Authorized Service
Provider.
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions could result in damage to the server.
