Hard Drive Secured In Drive Carrier - Intel SRKA4 - Server Platform - 0 MB RAM Product Manual

Each hard drive is connected to an Adaptec Ultra 160/m SCSI hot-swap backplane. The backplane
provides industry-standard 80-pin SCA-2 connectors for each hard drive and accepts 10k or slower
drives that consume up to 23 watts of power. If another type or slower Ultra 160/m SCSI
SCA drive is installed, make sure that the drive meets these backplane and carrier requirements.
NOTE
All hard drives have different cooling, power, and vibration characteristics. Intel has validated
specific hard drive types in the SRKA4 chassis. The SRKA4 Validation List contains a list of these
manufacturers and hard drive types. The document can be found on
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SRKA4/compat.htm
An LED above each hard drive displays the status of that hard drive.

The SCSI backplane boardset consists of two separate boards: the SCSI backplane board and the
SCSI-Accessed Fault-Tolerant Enclosures Specification (SAF-TE) board. The SCSI backplane
board provides power distribution and SCSI interfacing of the hard drives. The SAF-TE board
provides SAF-TE features and hard drive failure indicators.
