Install the Twelve-Drive NVMe Backplane

  1. Lower the drive backplane into the server, position it in front of the eight stanoff hooks, then push the backplane down and into place.

    The standoff hooks fit into small openings in the drive backplane. Align the center double hook first, and ensure that all cables are out of the way.

  2. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the two green spring-mounted screws to secure the drive backplane to the chassis.
  3. Reconnect the cables to the drive backplane.
    1. Reconnect the auxiliary signal cable to the drive backplane.
    2. Reconnect the two power cables to the drive backplane.
    3. Connect the 12 NVMe cables to the drive backplane.

      Attach cables to the similarly-labeled connectors.

  4. Return the server to operation.

    4. Return the server to the normal operating position.

  5. Use the Oracle ILOM show faulty command to verify that the fault has been cleared.

    See Identify Faulted Components for more information on using the show faulty command.
