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.
