Swivel the air baffle into the upright position to allow access to
the SAS storage drive cables.
Depending on your server's storage drive configuration, do one of
the following:
If your server is configured with twenty-four 2.5-inch
storage drives or twelve 3.5-inch storage drives, remove the
server's front fan assembly door cover.
(Optional) To disconnect the SAS cables between the rear storage
drive backplane and front storage drive backplane, press each latch,
and then pull out to disengage the cable from each SAS connector
[1].
To disconnect the SAS cables between the Oracle Storage 12 Gb/s
SAS PCIe RAID HBA card in PCIe slot 6 and the front storage drive
backplane, press each latch, and then pull out to disengage the
cable from each SAS connector [1 and 2].
Note -
The following figure shows SAS cables being removed from the
twenty-four drive system configuration. If you are removing SAS
cables from an eight-drive system configuration, your front disk
backplane SAS connector locations will be different. In
addition, the chassis mid-wall is removed in the illustration to
clearly show the SAS cable connections.
Remove the SAS cables from the server.
Note -
(Optional) SAS cable connectors do not fit through the right-side
chassis mid-wall. If you are removing SAS cables between the rear
storage drive backplane and front storage drive backplane, you first
must remove the chassis mid-wall. For instructions, see
Step 11 in
Remove the Motherboard Assembly.
Carefully remove the SAS cable bundles from the chassis mid-wall. Be
careful not to snag the cables on the server components.
