How to install HPE ProLiant DL365 Gen10 Plus 2SFF SAS/SATA BC Backplane Kit

• Power down the server completely and unplug it from any power sources. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling components.
• Open the DL365 Gen10 Plus chassis access panel or drive area according to the manufacturer’s maintenance procedures to expose the backplane region.
• Align the backplane kit with the chassis mounting points and the server’s backplane connectors. Ensure that the connectors mate cleanly with the mother board/Controller board interfaces to avoid bent pins or misalignment.
• Secure the backplane kit using the supplied hardware, then route and connect the SAS/SATA data cables to the appropriate storage controller or interconnects. Ensure cables are neatly tucked to maximize airflow and minimize strain on connectors.
• Reinstall any drive trays if they were removed, close the chassis, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter the server BIOS or storage controller configuration utility to confirm the backplane is detected and the two 2.5-inch drive bays are operational.
• Verify drive detection in the operating system and perform a basic health check on the backplane and connected drives. If applicable, configure RAID or pass-through settings to align with your storage policy and performance requirements.
• Document the installation as part of your asset management process and monitor drive temperatures and controller logs during initial operation to ensure stability.
