To replace your computer’s SCSI backplane board with a different backplane board,

perform the following steps.

4. Remove the hard-disk drives from the system.

5. Slide the system board tray to its service position.

6. Disconnect the SCSI cable from the SCSI backplane board.

To avoid damage to the cable, use the strain-relief loop to disconnect the cable.

7. Disconnect the flat data cable from the locking connector on the backplane

board.

8. Disconnect the power cable labeled "HD-B/P" from the power connector on the

backplane board.

To release the connector, press the latch on the side of the connector.

9. Disconnect the fan power cable from the power connector labeled "FAN" on the

backplane board.

To release the connector, press the latch on the side of the connector.

10. Loosen the captive thumbscrew on the backplane board.

11. Slide the SCSI backplane board away from the chassis inner wall approximately

1 centimeter (cm) (a quarter inch), and then lift the board off of the L-shaped

mounting tabs and away from the chassis (see Figure 1).

12. Install the new backplane board:

a. While holding the backplane board by its edges, position the board so that

the tabs on the computer chassis wall fit through the corresponding slots in

the backplane board.

b. Slide the backplane board toward the power supply paralleling board.

c. Secure the backplane board by tightening the captive thumbscrew.

d. Connect the 20-pin data cable from the system board to the connector

labeled "PLANAR" on the backplane board (see Figure 2 or Figure 3).

13. Connect the power cable labeled "HD-B/P" to the connector labeled "POWER" on

the backplane board.

14. Connect a SCSI cable from the connector labeled "SCSIA" on the backplane board

to the connector labeled “PRIMARY SCSIA”on the system board, or to a SCSI

host adapter card.

15. If you want to operate the backplane in a split 2 x 4 configuration, connect a SCSI

cable from the connector labeled "SCSIB" on the backplane board to the second

Ultra3 SCSI connector on the system board, or to a SCSI host adapter card.

NOTES: When the 2 x 4 SCSI backplane is cabled to two SCSI host adapter

cards, the SCSI host adapter cabled to the 2 x 4 backplane’s SCSIA connector will

control the four top hard-disk drives of a rack-mounted system (or the four left-

most hard-disk drives of an upright free-standing system) with SCSI IDs 0, 1, 2,

and 3; and will control the four bottom hard-disk drives of a rack-mounted system

(or the four rightmost hard-disk drives of an upright free-standing system) with

SCSI IDs 4, 5, 8, and 9.

You can configure the 2 x 4 SCSI backplane as a 1 x 8 backplane by connecting

only the connector labeled "SCSIA" on the backplane board to a SCSI controller.

16. Slide the system board tray back into the system chassis.

Does the new SCSI backplane board have a different number of drive bays?

Ye s .You must change the orientation of the two drive bay keys to match the new

backplane. Go to step 17.

No.Go to step 23.

17. Turn the key in the keylock to lock the drive-locking flange (see Figure 4).

With the flange in the locked position, you have easier access to the upper drive

bay key.

18. To remove the upper drive bay key, remove the three screws.

19. To remove the lower drive key, remove the three screws securing the key to the

chassis.

20. Rotate each drive bay key so that the "6" or "8" stamped on the end of each key

faces forward and matches the drive capacity of the new backplane (see

Figure 5).

21. Reinstall the lower drive key using the three screws.

22. To reinstall the upper drive key, lock the drive-locking flange and reinstall the three

screws through the flange cutouts.

23. Replace the front bezel and computer cover.

24. Reinstall the hard-disk drives in the computer.

NOTE: You can use only 1-inch hard-disk drives with an 8-bay backplane—you cannot

use 1.6-inch hard-disk drives. (A 6-bay backplane can accommodate 1.6-inch or 1-inch

drives.) If you install an 8-bay backplane, you need to convert the drive carriers to the

1-inch width by removing the spacer insert that fastens to each carrier adjacent to the

carrier release handle.

25. Reconnect the computer and peripherals to their AC power sources.
