ASUS TS500-E5 ユーザーズマニュアル

Chapter 2:  Hardware setup

2-24

A SATA/SAS backplane comes pre-installed in the TS500-E5. The SATA/SAS 

backplane has four 22-pin SATA/SAS connectors to support Serial ATA hard disk 

drives and SAS hard disk drives. The backplane design incorporates a hot swap 

feature to allow easy connection or removal of SATA/SAS hard disks. The LEDs on 

the backplane connect to the front panel LEDs to indicate HDD status. See section 

“1.6 LED information” for details.

The front side of the SATA/SAS backplane faces the front panel when installed. 

This side includes four SATA/SAS connectors for the hot swap drive trays.

Each SATA/SAS connector is labeled (CON0, CON1, 

CON2, CON3) so you can easily determine their counterpart 

connectors at the back side of the backplane. Refer to the table 

for reference.
