Removing the PCI Backplane
CAUTION: When removing the PCI backplane, be careful not to flex the board.
Flexing the board may damage the BGA component connections.
1. Remove the 12 screws that secure the PCI backplane to the chassis.
CAUTION: Do not remove the four additional nonwashered screws
Removing them inactivates the built-in mechanism for extracting the PCI backplane from the system.
2. Use the ejector lever in the fan area to separate the PCI backplane from the system motherboard, then lift the backplane out of the chassis.
3. Align the new (10-slot) backplane on the guide pins firmly until it is seated.
NOTE: Seating the PCI backplane requires considerable pressure. When
seating the PCI backplane in a cabinet, a second person should brace the chassis to ensure that no excessive stress is placed on the rails.
Insert the 12 screws to secure the new backplane to the chassis.
4.
Connect the cables you previously disconnected from the old backplane. See
