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/SCSI backplane The SATA/SCSI drives plug into a SATA/SCSI backplane. SCSI: Two data cables (CBL-037L-U320 and CBL-0063L) need to be connected from the serverboard to the appropriate connectors on the backplane to provide dual-channel operation for eight SCSI drives. There are also two power connectors on the backplane - both should be connected. SATA:
Six data cables (CBL-061L) and two SATA LED cables (CBL-0157L) need to be connected from the serverboard to the appropriate connectors on the backplane to support SATA six drives. You cannot cascade the SATA/SCSI backplane. 6-7
