Removing the hard-drive/SSD backplane
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform

1. Turn off the nodes using the operating system commands, or the iDRAC, or the CMC.
The sled is powered off when all the nodes are turned off.
2. Remove the sled from the enclosure.
CAUTION:
Note the number of each hard drive/SSD and temporarily label them before removal so that you
can replace them in the same locations.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the hard drives/SSDs and the hard-drive/SSD backplane, remove the hard
drives/SSDs from the sled before removing the hard-drive/SSD backplane.
