Install the Disk Backplane

  1. Install the disk backplane into the server so that it engages the two metal hooks and also sits behind the metal tabs located on the chassis bottom [1].

    Figure showing how to install the disk backplane in to the server.
  2. Using a Torx T15 screwdriver, tighten the three storage drive backplane captive screws clockwise until the disk backplane is secure [2].
  3. Reconnect the following cables to the disk backplane [3]:
    • Disk backplane data cable

    • Temperature sensor cable

    • Disk backplane power cable

    • NVMe cables

  4. Reinstall all of the storage drives into the server.
  5. Return the server to operation.
    1. Install the server top cover.
    2. Return the server to the normal rack position.
    3. Reconnect the power cords to the power supplies, and power on the server.
    4. Verify that the System OK status indicator is lit.

    Note:

    IMPORTANT: When the disk backplane is replaced, the key identity properties (KIP) of the backplane is programmed by Oracle ILOM to contain the same KIP as the other quorum member components. If you have removed other quorum member components, you might need to manually program the product serial number (PSN) into the new backplane. For more information, refer to Key Identity Properties (KIP) Automated Update.
