B-12 Supported Cascading Configurations
Cascading allows the system to access data at a faster rate by allowing several
backplanes to share resources to reduce latency time.
The first backplane in a cascaded system requires a motherboard and an HBA.
Other servers require a JBOD control board with no motherboard and no HBA. For
more information, specific chassis manuals are available at www.supermicro.com.
