Remove a Storage Backplane
The storage backplances are cold-service components
that can be replaced after you remove the main module.
![Caution Caution](graphics/electrical.gif) | Caution -
This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. This discharge can cause server components to
fail.

- Power
off the server, and disconnect the power cords.
See Removing Power From the Server.
- Take the necessary ESD precautions.
See Prevent ESD Damage.
- Remove all the hard drives from
the front of the server for the storage backplane that you want
to replace.
Note the locations of the drives before removing them so that
you can install them in their original slots. You have to remove
only hard drives 0–3 or drives 4–7, depending
on which storage backplane you want to replace. See Remove a Hard Drive.

server.
