Replace the model 9116-561 or 570 system backplane

You must have already completed the procedure Remove the model 9116-561 or 570 system backplane.

Replace the system backplane

  1. As shown in Figure 1, place the system processor assembly into the system backplane assembly A using the location information that you recorded during the removal procedure. Lock the system processor assembly into place with the locking arms B. Press in on the locking knobs C until you feel them lock into place. Replace all processor assemblies that were removed earlier.
    Attention:
    • Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging your hardware.
    • When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical equipment.
    • If you do not have a wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
