Returning Merchandise for Service
A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required before any warranty service will be rendered. You can obtain service by calling your
vendor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning
to the manufacturer, the RMA number should be prominently displayed on the
outside of the shipping carton, and mailed prepaid or hand-carried. Shipping and
handling charges will be applied for all orders that must be mailed when service
is complete.
For faster service, RMA authorizations may be requested online (http://www.
supermicro.com/support/rma/).
Whenever possible, repack the backplane in the original Supermicro box, using the
original packaging materials. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the
backplane in an anti-static bag and inside the box. Make sure that there is enough
packaging material surrounding the backplane so that it does not become damaged
during shipping.
This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages incurred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper
maintenance of products.
During the warranty period, contact your distributor first for any product problems.

Overview of the SAS2-216EL1/EL2 Backplanes
The SAS2-216EL1/EL2 model backplanes consists of a SAS2-216EB backplane
(A) with one or two SAS2-216EL daughter cards (B and C) mounted on the rear
of the backplane.
The SAS2-216EL1 model consists of the SAS2-216EB backplane (A) and one
SAS2-216EL daughter card (B), mounted on the right-hand side of the backplane.
The SAS2-216EL2 model consists of the SAS2-216EB backplane (A), and two
SAS-216EL daughter cards (B and C), mounted on the rear of the backplane.
Components on the front side of the SAS2-216EB backplane include twenty-four
SAS connectors and their respecitve activity and failure LEDs. Components on the
rear side of the backplane include jumpers and power and fan connectors. The
daughter card's components include SAS ports, flash and expander chips, and
mode select jumpers.

Safety Guidelines
To avoid personal injury and property damage, carefully follow all the safety steps
listed below when accessing your system or handling the components.
1-1
ESD Safety Guidelines
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage
to your system, it is important to handle the backplane very carefully. The following
measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
•
•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic
bag.
•
Handle the backplane and daughter cards by their edges only; do not touch the
components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
•
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•
Put the backplane and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in
use.
1-2
•
General Safety Guidelines
Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components
from the computer, including the backplane.
•
Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cables from the
backplane.
•
Make sure that the backplane is securely and properly installed on the motherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.

Figure 2-2: Jumper Locations and Pin Defimitions
Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the backplane,
jumpers can be used to choose between
optional settings. Jumpers create shorts
between two pins to change the function
of the connector. Pin 1 is identified with
a square solder pad on the printed circuit
board. Note: On two pin jumpers, "Closed"
means the jumper is on and "Open" means
the jumper is off the pins.

Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple HBAs
The SAS-216EL backplane may be configured for failover with multiple HBAs using
either RAID controllers or HBAs to acheive failover protection.
RAID Controllers: If RAID controllers are used, then the failover is accomplished
through port failover on the same RAID card.
HBAs: If multiple HBAs are used to achieve failover protection and load balancing,
Linux MPIO software must be installed and correctly configured to perform
the load balancing and failover tasks.

Supported Internal HBA Cables
Use the following cables to create connections between the internal HBA and SAS2216EL model backplane. The cables required depend upon the HBA connector.
Cable Name: iPass TO 4-LANE
Part #: CBL-0117L
Length: 46 cm (18 inches)
Description: This cable has one SFF-8484 (32-pin) connector at one end and one
iPass (SFF-8087/Mini-SAS) connector (36-pin) at the other. This cable connects from
the HBA to the SAS2-216EL backplane
IMPORTANT: See Section 3-3 of this manual, Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple
HBAs for important information on supported configurations.

Cable Name: SAS Dual-port Cable Assembly, 68/76 cm
Part #: CBL-0168L
Placement: Internal cable
Ports: Dual
Description: Internal cascading cable. Connects the backplane to the host bus
adapter or external port. Used in dual port environments.
Figure 3-18: External Cable (CBL-0166L)
Cable Name: SAS EL2/EL1 Cascading Cable (External), 68 cm
Part #: CBL-0166L
Placement: External Cable
Ports: Single or Dual
Description: External cascading cable. Connects ports between servers. Use one
cable for single port connections and two cables for dual port connections.

Supported Cascading Configurations
Cascading allows the system to access data at a faster rate by allowing several
backplanes to share resources to reduce latency time.
The first backplane in a cascaded system requires a motherboard and an HBA.
Other servers require a power control card with no motherboard and no HBA. For
more information, specific chassis manuals are available at www.supermicro.com.
