Intel® Server System SR1550AL
5.2
Bridge Board
The system utilizes a bridge board to route signals from the server board to the mid-plane board.
The bridge board carries signals for three USB ports, SSI front panel control signals, video,
various I2C buses, fan control signals, and a PCI Express* x4 bus for SAS controller function.
See Table 19. 120-pin Bridge Board Connector Pin-Out.

Hot-Swap SATA/SAS Backplane
The hot swap backplane provides support for both SAS and SATA hard drives. There are no
hard drive cables that connect to the backplane. All hard drive control signals are routed from
the mid-plane board which plugs directly into the backplane.
