Installing the SCSI Backplane Daughter Card 1-3

This document provides information about how to configure the split SCSI backplane in your

Dell™ PowerEdge™ 2800 or 2850 system by installing a backplane daughter card. In a split

backplane configuration, the hard-drives are arranged in two separate groups of drives.

CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any

of the components inside the system. See your Product Information Guide for complete information

about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.

NOTE: See your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for detailed instructions on removing

or replacing components.

Installing the SCSI Backplane Daughter Card

in a PowerEdge 2800 System

Remove the bezel (if applicable).

Unpack the SCSI backplane daughter card kit.

Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from

the electrical outlet.

Open the system.

Slide the drive tray to the maintenance position.

Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the captive screw that secures the drive tray

release handle to the chassis.

Rotate the drive tray release lever toward the front of the system.

Grasp both sides of the front panel and slide the drive tray forwards until the tray is in

the maintenance position.

Hold the daughter card by its edges with the card connector facing the SCSI backplane board.

Insert the card connector into the daughter card connector on the SCSI backplane board.

Ensure that the standoffs on the daughter card are fully seated into the SCSI backplane

board. See Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1. Installing the SCSI Daughter Card

To use the optional integrated ROMB controller in a split 2 x 4 backplane configuration:

Connect channel A on the riser card to SCSIA on the SCSI backplane. This channel

controls the boot drive (drive 0) and drives 1, 2, and 3.

Connect SCSI channel B on the riser card to connector SCSIB on the SCSI backplane.

This channel controls drives 4, 5, 8, and 9.

To use an optional RAID controller card in a split 2 x 4 backplane configuration:

Connect SCSI channel A (channel 0) on the controller card to connector SCSIA on

the SCSI backplane. This channel controls the boot drive (drive 0) and drives 1, 2, and 3.

Connect SCSI channel B (channel 1) on the controller card to connector SCSIB on

the SCSI backplane. This channel controls drives 4, 5, 8, and 9.

Slide the drive tray back into the operating position.

Grasp both sides of the front panel and slide the drive tray backwards until the tray is

in the operating position.

Rotate the drive tray release lever toward the back of the system.

Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the captive screw that secures the drive tray

release handle to the chassis.

Close the system.

Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached

peripherals.

Enter System Setup to ensure that the RAID or SCSI controller card is configured correctly.

See your system’s

User’s Guide

for more information.

Replace the bezel (if applicable).

Installing the SCSI Backplane Daughter Card

in a PowerEdge 2850 System

Unpack the SCSI backplane board daughter card kit.

Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from

the electrical outlet.

Remove the bezel (if applicable).

Open the system.

Grasp the plastic tab on the back of the control panel cable and pull the cable connector away

from the backplane connector. See Figure 1-2.

NOTE: If you pull on the control panel cable harness, you may damage the harness.

The SCSI backplane daughter card connector and card guide are located in the compartment

below the control panel cable.

The daughter card fits between the sides of the card guide. To install the daughter card in

the card guide and to connect it to the backplane connector:

Ensure that the retention lever is in the open position.

Hold the daughter card by its edges with the card connector facing the SCSI backplane

and the retention peg facing the retention lever. See Figure 1-2.

Lower the card into the card guide.

Close the retention lever to slide the daughter card into the SCSI backplane connector

and lock the card into place. See Figure 1-2.

Rotate the drive bay retraction bar toward the front of the system. See Figure 1-3.

Figure 1-3. Drive Bay Retraction Bar

Reconnect the control panel cable to its backplane connector. See Figure 1-2.

To use the optional integrated ROMB controller in a split backplane configuration:

Connect channel A on the riser card to SCSIA on the SCSI backplane. This channel

controls the boot drive (drive 0) and drive 1.

Connect SCSI channel B on the riser card to connector SCSIB on the SCSI backplane.

This channel controls drives 2 through 5.

Installing the SCSI Backplane Daughter Card 1-7

To use the optional RAID controller card in a split backplane configuration:

Connect SCSI channel A (channel 0) on the controller card to connector SCSIA on

the SCSI backplane. This channel controls the boot drive (drive 0) and drive 1.

Connect SCSI channel B (channel 1) on the controller card to connector SCSIB on

the SCSI backplane. This channel controls drives 2 through 5.

NOTE: If a cable is connected to the SCSIB backplane connector, the SCSI backplane daughter

card must be installed to activate the 2/4 split backplane configuration. Otherwise, the system will

display an error message.

Rotate the drive bay retraction bar toward the back of the system.

Close the system.

Enter System Setup to ensure that the RAID or SCSI controller card is configured correctly.

See your system’s

User’s Guide

for more information.

Replace the bezel (if applicable).
