SCSI Drive Hot-swap Backplane
The SCSI backplane is an integral part of the chassis. The backplane provides control signals for six SCSI peripheral devices. The backplane receives control signals from the system board ultra wide
The backplane has two main functions: SCSI drive control and system data logging. Drive status is monitored to detect failing drives and to control LED indicators. The backplane features are:
■Inserting and removing of hard drives while power is on (referred to as “hot swap”)
■Simplified cable management
■SCA connectors to simplify inserting and removing hard drives
■SCSI management of fault LEDs.
Each backplane supports SCSI drives with SCA connectors.
