To replace the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 disk-drive backplane,
including the SATA back plate, complete the following steps.
- Make sure that the air deflector
, which is shown in Figure 1, is in the open position. Note: The air deflector also functions as the back plate
latch. In this procedure, you must lift
the air deflector to access some of the cables.

- Connect power cable connectors P2 and P3
to the
replacement back plate, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 power
supply connectors
- Slide the back plate into the card guides, making sure
not to trap or pinch any nearby wires or cables.
- Press firmly until the back plate is fully seated.
- Rotate the air deflector ( in Figure 1) into place, making
sure not to pinch any cables beneath it, and press it down firmly.
- Reconnect the SATA cables to the system board. When
you look from the front, SATA 0 is the drive number for the left bay
and SATA 2 is the drive number for the right bay.
Note: Make
sure that the cable drive number matches the connector number on the
system board. The cables will cross over each other, as shown in
Figure 3.
