Before you begin
This procedure requires that the EEPROM on the midplane board be
programmed with the product salable serial number. You will need a
PC or laptop with a serial port, a terminal emulation program, and the
serial cable (part number 259992–001) provided with the midplane
spare kit.
Observe the following precautions when replacing the midplane.
CAUTION:
Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Use proper
anti-static protection. Refer to the documentation that shipped
with your system for additional information.
Slate blue-colored items, such as the midplane thumbscrews,
means their attached component is not hot-swappable. Power
to the disk enclosure must be shut down before the component
is removed.

Before replacing the midplane, verify its failure by checking the LED
status of the following components:
Disk drives—Test with a known good disk drive (see Table 1).
I/O module—Test with a known good I/O module (see Table 2).
