6. Slide the SAS drives and fillers approximately two inches out of the drive bays. See “Removing
a Hot-Pluggable Disk Drive” (page 172).
CAUTION: When disconnecting the SAS cables, note the labeling on the cables. Both cables
and sockets are clearly marked with the correct channel. When reconnecting these cables,
match each cable with the appropriate socket on the SAS backplane board. If the cables are
mismatched, the server operating system may not reboot.
7. Disconnect the SAS cables from the connectors on the SAS backplane board (Figure 84).
8. Remove the interconnect board air baffle (Figure 85). See “Removing the Interconnect Board”
(page 229).
9. Push down on the release lever to disengage the SAS backplane board from the chassis
(Figure 84).
CAUTION: Do not use the release lever as a handle to remove the SAS backplane board.
Failure to observe this caution can result in damage to the release lever and the SAS backplane
board.
10. Use the sheet metal bracket that surrounds the SAS backplane board as a handle and slide
the board to the left to unplug it from the socket on the interconnect board (Figure 84).
11. Pull the board straight back toward the rear of the chassis, and lift the board out of the chassis
(Figure 84).
