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. A ribbon cable from JA1 on the
motherboard should be connected to the JP26 connector on the SATA backplane.
There are also 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 connectors that the SATA drives plug into when inserted
with a SATA drive carrier. You cannot cascade the SATA backplane.
