SCSI Backplane Option

This document describes the optional small computer system interface (SCSI) back-

plane for the Dell PowerEdge 6300 and 4x00 systems.

The 1 x 8 SCSI backplane provides hot-pluggable Ultra2/LVD SCSI connections for up

to eight 1-inch hard-disk drives in the system's internal drive compartment. Except for

the added SCSI connections provided on the board, the 1 x 8 backplane is identical to

the 1 x 6 backplane in features and functionality (for example, the cable connectors on

both backplanes are identical). For a description of the SCSI backplane, refer to your

system User's Guide and Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.

NOTE: Before you install the 1 x 8 backplane, verify that your system chassis supports

it. Check the back of your system for a label (located between the connectors and the

first power supply) that specifies that your chassis supports the 1 x 8 backplane. If you

do not find a label, you may not be able to use the 1 x 8 backplane in your system

chassis. Contact your Dell representative for further information and instructions.

Installing a SCSI Backplane

WARNING: The power supplies in this computer system produce high volt-

ages and energy hazards, which can cause bodily harm. Only trained

service technicians are authorized to remove the computer cover and

access any of the components inside the computer.

NOTE: You can use only 1-inch hard-disk drives with the 1 x 8 backplane. You

cannot use 1.6-inch hard-disk drives with the 1 x 8 backplane. To work with the

1 x 8 backplane, you need to convert the drive carriers to the 1-inch width by removing

the spacer insert that fastens to each carrier adjacent to the carrier release handle.

To replace a SCSI backplane board with a different backplane board, perform the fol-

lowing steps.
