Removal and replacement procedures 39
IMPORTANT: Be sure to set the SCSI simplex/duplex switch to the appropriate setting when replacing the
SCSI backplane.
To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure.
Removing the power backplane
1. Power down the server (on page 16).
2. Remove all power supplies ("Removing a redundant hot-plug power supply" on page 48) and power
supply blanks ("Removing a power supply blank" on page 48).
NOTE: If you remove or replace the primary hot-plug power supply, use the T-15 Torx screwdriver provided
with the server to remove the shipping screw. It is located just under the port-colored plastic handle of the
