Page 26: Sata Backplane/Drives
1: Introduction SATA Backplane/Drives As a system, the C2112-4KL1 server supports the use of twelve SATA drives. A single SATA backplane works to apply system-based control for power and fan speed functions but, at the same time, logically connects a set of three SATA drives to each serverboard. Consequently, RAID setup is limited to a three-drive scheme—that is, RAID cannot be spread across all twelve drives. -
