TIME ESTIMATE: 30 minutes

TASK COMPLEXITY: 3


*FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS*

PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
Faulty SCSI Backplane

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

System powered off is required.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:
Follow standard ESD procedures to avoid Electrostatic Discharge

Removal of the SCSI Backplane

Slide the System Out of the Cabinet
Remove the Top Cover
Remove the PCI Fan Tray

1. Disconnect the AC power cords from the back of the system.
2. Disengage the hard disks from the SCSI backplane.
a. Pinch the disk drive latch sideways to release the disk drive handle.
b. Pull the handle away from the disk drive until you feel the disk drive
connector disengage from the SCSI backplane connector.
c. Repeat Step a and Step b for each disk drive.
3. Loosen the Phillips No. 2 captive screw securing the connector board to the
chassis.
4. Disengage the connector board from the SCSI backplane.
Pull the connector board forward until it is disconnected from the SCSI backplane.

5. Loosen the two Phillips No. 2 captive screws securing the SCSI backplane to the chassis.

6. Disconnect the P4 SCSI data cable end from the SCSI backplane.
Pull the cable end out of its connector.

7. Pull the SCSI backplane up and out of the system.

Installation of the SCSI Backplane

2. Connect the P4 SCSI data cable end at P4 on the SCSI backplane.
Connect the cable before you install the SCSI backplane into the system.
3. Place the SCSI backplane into the system so the metal tabs on the bottom of the
chassis align with the holes in the bottom of the SCSI backplane.
Make sure that the two Phillips No. 2 captive screws align with their screw holes.
Note - Make sure that the connector board does not come in contact with the SCSI
backplane at this point in the installation.
4. Tighten the two Phillips No. 2 captive screws that secure the SCSI backplane to
the chassis.

5. Slide the connector board toward the back of the system to connect the board to
the SCSI backplane.
Push the connector board into the SCSI backplane until it is secure.
6. Tighten the Phillips No. 2 captive screw to secure the connector board to the
chassis.
7. Install the disk drives.
a. Firmly press the center of the disk drive handle toward the disk drive until the
latch closes, securing the disk drive in place.
b. Repeat Step a for each disk drive.
8. Connect the AC power cords to the back of the system.

To reassemble the system, complete these tasks:
Install the PCI Fan Tray
Install the Top Cover
Slide the System Into the Cabinet
Power On the System

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:
Boot system and ensure that full system functionality is achieved.
