Before You Begin
The article below provides information about safe practices to consider before working with electrical equipment.
Two side-by-side pairs will be treated as a single FlexBay (Figure 1). The backplane consists of two pairs, so it must be replaced on a FlexBay basis.
(Figure 1. FlexBay)
Removal Instructions
| 1 | Phillips screwdriver with shaft length × 20cm (+2×200) |
| 2/3 | 2.0/2.5mm Plus Driver |
Note: Be aware that using a large Phillips or Flat Head screwdriver may result in damage to the head of the screws. This would make their removal impossible without specialty tools, that are not available to our onsite engineers.
The following parts will be required to replace SATA/SAS with PCIe SSD.
- [575-BBSH] - M.2 Module for FlexBay incl. carrier 58/78/7920 Towers (Kit)
- [750-ABDF] - Convert HDD FlexBay to PCIe SSD FlexBay 58/78 Towers (Kit)

PCIe SSD Backplane
| 1 | Thermal Sensor Cable |
| 2 | Data Cable |
Step to install PCIe SSD Backplane
- Attach the backplane to the system.
- Secure the backplane with the 3 screws.
There are 3 cables to be connected.
| 1 | Power Cable | 2 | Data Cable |
| 3 | Thermal Sensor Cable | 4 | A hook to secure Thermal Sensor Cable |
Step to install cables
- Installing Thermal Sensor Cable
- Secure the thermal sensor cable with the hook.
- Connect the thermal sensor cable to TEMP_FLEX0 or TEMP_FLEX1 on the motherboard.
- Secure the thermal sensor cable with the hook.
- Installing Power Cable
- Connect the 6-pin power cable from the power supply unit to the backplane.
- Connect the 6-pin power cable from the power supply unit to the backplane.
- Installing Data Cable
- Connect the upper data cable (U.2_P1) to PCIE1 port on the motherboard, lower data cable (U.2_P0) to PCIE0 port on the motherboard.
- Connector for Precision 5820 is located next to CPU
- Connector for Precision 7820 is located next to Power Supply Unit
