Figure 6-6. Mounting a SAS Drive in a Carrier

Important! Use extreme caution when working around the SAS

backplane. Do not touch the backplane with any metal objects

and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct

the airﬂ ow holes.

Figure 6-5. Removing a SAS Drive Carrier

3. SAS backplane

The SAS drives plug into a SAS backplane. Two ribbon cables from the SAS0~3

and SAS4~7 ports on the serverboard should be connected to the SAS backplane.

There are also two power connectors on the backplane - both should be connected.

The backplane has four channel connectors that the SAS drives plug into when

inserted with a SAS drive carrier. You cannot cascade the SAS backplane.
