Important! Use extreme caution when working around the SATA
backplane. Do not touch the backplane with any metal objects
and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct
the airfl ow holes.
3. SATA backplane
The SATA drives plug into an SATA backplane. There are two power connectors
on the backplane - both should be connected. See Figure 6-6 for the locations of
backplane connectors - the reverse side of the backplane has four channel con-
nectors that the SATA drives plug into when inserted with a SATA drive carrier. You
cannot cascade the SATA backplane.
