BPN-SAS2-847EL Backplane Manual
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. vi
Chapter 1
Guidelines
Chapter 1
Guidelines
This chapter offers guidelines for personal and equipment safety, and notes about
the BPN-SAS2-847EL version documented in this manual.
1-1 ESD Safety Guidelines
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com­
ponents. To prevent
damage to your system, it is important to handle it 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 by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
•When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
•Put the card 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.

* Early versions of Supermicro SAS2 backplanes come equipped with a buzzer.
New versions of these backplanes no longer support a buzzer. We recommend
using the LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager or a similar management application
to trigger an email alert instead.
The buzzer alarm is triggered by one of the following conditions:
•Hard drive failure.
•Fan failure.
•System temperature over 45º Celsius.

Chapter 3 Dual Port and Cascading Configurations
3-3 Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple HBAs
The SAS-836EL 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.

If the expander or data path in
the primary ports fails, the system
automatically switches to the secondary
ports. This maintains a full connection to
all drives. Note that this configuration
requires additional MPIO software.

IMPORTANT: See Section 3-3 of this manual, Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple
HBAs for important information on supported configurations.
Supported Internal HBA Cables
Use the following listed cables to create connections between the internal HBA
and SAS2-847EL backplane. The cables required depend on the HBA connector.
Cable Name: iPass TO 4-lane
Part #: CBL-0117L
Length: 46cm (18 inches)
Description: This cable has one SFF-8484 (32 pin) connector on one end and
iPass (SFF-8087/mini-sas) connector (36 pins) at the other. This cable connects
from the HBA to the SAS2-847EL backplane.

Length: 39 cm (15 inches)
Part #: CBL-0109L-02
Length: 22 cm (9 inches)
Part #: CBL-0110L-02
Length: 18 cm (7 inches)
Description: This cable has an iPass (SFF-8087/mini-sas) connector (36 pins) at
each end. It connects from the HBA to the SAS2-847EL backplane.

Chapter 3 Dual Port and Cascading Configurations
Connecting an External Host Bus Adapter to the
Backplane
This backplane supports external Host Bus Adapters. In this configuration, the
HBA and the backplane are in different physical chassis. This allows a JBOD
configuration system to connect to the other system that has a HBA.

Supported External HBA to Backplane Cable
Use the following cable if your external HBA has an InfiniBand connector.
Figure 3-7: External Cable (CBL-0166L)
Cable Name: SAS EL2/EL1 Cascading Cable (External), 68cm
Part #: CBL-0166L (SFF-8088 1x to SFF-8088 x1)
Ports: Single or Dual
Placement: External cable
Description: External cascading cable. Connects ports between servers. With most
connectors, use one cable for single port connections and two cables for dual port
connections.

Chapter 3 Dual Port and Cascading Configurations
Connecting Multiple Backplanes in a Single Channel
Environment
This section describes the cables used when cascading from a single HBA. These
connections use CBL-0167L internal cables and CBL-0166L external cables.

Chapter 3 Dual Port and Cascading Configurations
3-4 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 HBA. Other
servers require a power control card with no motherboard and no HBA. For more
information, see the SC846 Chassis Manual available at www.supermicro.com.
