3. Label and disconnect all cables attached to the existing backplane.
4. Remove and savethe three screws that attachthe upper edge ofthe backplane tothe

5. Slide the backplane out from the three clips that attach its lower end to the chassis.
6. Remove the backplane and set it aside on an antistatic surface or conductive foam
pad.
7. Attach the new backplane to the chassis by first sliding the lower end into the three
clips, then using the three screws you removed earlier to attach the upper end.
