Important! Use extreme caution when working around the SAS 

backplane. Do not touch the backplane with any metal objects 

and make sure no cables touch the backplane or obstruct the 

airfl ow holes.

Figure 6-5.  Removing a SATA Drive Carrier

SAS Backplane

The SAS drives plug into a SAS backplane. Two SAS cables need to be connected 

from the serverboard to the appropriate connectors on the backplane to support 

eight SAS drives. You cannot cascade the SAS backplane.
