FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Backplane failure

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.

 WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE:

The FC-AL backplane assembly consists of the FC-AL backplane, FC-AL cable assembly, and hard drive bracket. The FC-AL backplane assembly is attached to the
chassis. Use the following procedures to remove and replace the FC-AL backplane assembly.

Removing the FC-AL Backplane Assembly

1. Power off the workstation, remove the access panel, and attach the antistatic wrist strap.

Caution – Use proper ESD grounding techniques when handling components. Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat. Store ESD-sensitive components in
antistatic bags before placing them on any surface.

2. Remove the fan bracket.

3. Remove the hard drive(s).

4. Remove the torque tool from the slot in the FC-AL backplane assembly.

5. Disconnect the power connector from the FC-AL backplane assembly.

6. Disconnect the FC-AL cable assembly from the FC-AL backplane assembly.

7. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, proceed as follows:
a. Loosen the two captive screws (located on the left side of the FC-AL backplane assembly).
b. Remove the two screws from the chassis bottom that secure the FC-AL backplane assembly to the chassis.

8. Disconnect the FC-AL backplane assembly from the chassis cutouts and lift it from the chassis.

Replacing the FC-AL Backplane Assembly

Caution – Use proper ESD grounding techniques when handling components. Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat. Store ESD-sensitive components in
antistatic bags before placing them on any surface.

1. Position the FC-AL backplane assembly in the chassis and connect it to the chassis cutouts.

2. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, proceed as follows:
a. Replace the two screws into the chassis bottom that secure the FC-AL backplane assembly to the chassis.
b. Tighten the two captive screws (located on the left side of the FC-AL backplane assembly).

3. Connect the FC-AL backplane cable assembly to the FC-AL backplane.
4. Connect the power connector to the FC-AL backplane assembly.
5. Replace the hard drive(s).
6. Return the torque tool to the slot in the backplane assembly.
7. Replace the fan bracket.
8. Detach the antistatic wrist strap, replace the access panel, and power on the workstation.
