1. Connecting One Expander Backplane You must connect the following cables to the backplane:  SATA/SAS data cables  Power cables  IPMB cable for updating the hot-swap controller firmware, reading the temperature, and detecting drive presence: 2.  Cable: Use the 4-pin IPMB cable provided with a hot-swap drive enclosure.  Backplane Connector: Use the white 4-pin IPMB connector on the backplane.  Mainboard Connectors: Use the white 4-pin HSBP_A connector on the server board.

Connecting One Non-Expander Backplane You must connect the following cables to the backplane:  SATA/SAS data cables:  With 4-drive Non-expander backplane, RAID controller ports 0-3 must be connected to the Nonexpander backplane. Make sure port 0 is connected to slot 0, port 1 to slot 1, and so on.  With 6-drive Non-expander backplane, RAID controller ports 0-5 must be connected to the Nonexpander backplane ports.

 With 4-drive Non-expander backplane, RAID controller ports 0-3 or port 8-11 must be connected to the Non-expander backplane. Make sure port 0 is connected to slot 0, port 1 to slot 1, port 8 to slot 0, port 9 to slot 1, and so on.  With 6-drive Non-expander backplane, RAID controller ports 0-5 or port 8-13 must be connected to the Non-expander backplane ports. Make sure port 0 is connected to slot 0, port 1 to slot 1, port 8 to slot 0, port 9 to slot 1, and so on.

Enclosure Management Cabling for Pedestal Systems with Hot-Swap Drive Backplanes 6. Connecting Fault LED Control Cables Only non-expander backplanes (AXX6DRV3G and AXX4DRV3G) require drive LED control cables. Important: Only one Fault LED control cable – either SES or SGPIO depending on the RAID controller – must be connected to a backplane. Do not connect both SES and SGPIO cables to the same backplane. This may result in unexpected behavior including RAID array failures.

SRCS28X (SATA only) Not supported. SATA RAID controllers are not supported with SAS expander backplanes. RAID card connector: J13, white Backplane connector: SES, white Cable: 3-pin SES Note: HSC FW 2.05 or higher is required. RS2BL080 SAS in-band. No drive LED control cable needed. RAID card connector: J11, white Backplane connector: SES, white Cable: 3-pin SES RS2BL040 SAS in-band. No drive LED control cable needed.
