SATA Power Cables
Serial ATA power cables should be routed so that they do not block the airfl ow
through the chassis. See the serverboard layout diagram for the location of the
cable connections.
SATA Backplane
The SATA drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termi-
nation. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security.
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap
capability of the SATA drives. The backplane is already preconfi gured, so there are
no jumpers or switches present on it.
