Intel SC5400BASE Manual Do Utilizador

 

The chassis can support either an Active SAS/SATA or a Passive SAS/SATA backplane. The 
backplanes provide the platform support for hot-swap SAS or SATA hard drives.  

The passive backplane acts as a “pass-through” for the SAS/SATA data from the drives to the 
SAS/SATA controller on the baseboard or a SAS/SATA controller add-in card. It provides the 
physical requirements for the hot-swap capabilities. The active backplane has a built-in SAS 
controller that requires an SAS controller on the baseboard or a SAS add-in card for 
communication. The Active SAS/SATA backplane reduces the number of required cables by 
only using two SAS/SATA connectors to drive up to six hard drives.  

When the hot swap drive bay is installed, a bi-color hard drive LED is located on each drive 
carrier to indicate specific drive failure or activity. For pedestal systems, these LEDs are visible 
upon opening the front bezel door.  

The Intel® Server Chassis SC5400 4HDD or 6HDD Passive SAS/SATA Hot Swap Backplane 
(HSBP) is a monolithic printed circuit board. The architecture is based on the Vitesse* Server 
Board and storage management controller VSC410* and supports up to four or six SAS/SATA 
drives.
