Returning Merchandise for Service

A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required be-

fore 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 in-

curred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper

maintenance of products.

Duringthewarrantyperiod,contactyourdistributorrstforanyproductproblems.

Preface

Overview of the BPN-SAS2-216EL1/EL2 Backplanes

The BPN-SAS2-216EL1/EL2 model backplanes consists of a BPN-SAS2-216EB

backplane (X) with one or two BPN-SAS2-216EL daughter cards (Y and Z) mounted

on the rear of the backplane.

The BPN-SAS2-216EL1 model consists of the BPN-SAS2-216EB backplane (X)

and one BPN-SAS2-216EL primary daughter card (Y), mounted on the right-hand

side of the backplane.

The BPN-SAS2-216EL2 model consists of the BPN-SAS2-216EB backplane (X)

with a BPN-SAS2-216EL primary daughter card mounted on the right (Y) and a

BPN-SAS2-216EL secondary daughter card mounted on the left (Z).

Components on the front side of the BPN-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,ashandexpanderchips,and

mode select jumpers.

Chapter 1 Safety Guidelines

Chapter 1

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 com ponents. To prevent damage

to your system, it is important to handle the backplane very carefully. The following

measures are generally sufcient 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 mother-

board to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.

2-3 Jumper Locations and Settings

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 identied 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.

IMPORTANT: For RAID controllers, redundancy is achieved through port

failover. For multiple HBAs MPIO software is required to achieve failover

protection.

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.

Inacascadedconguration,therstchassisincludesamotherboardandatleast

one host bus adapter (HBA). Other servers in this enclosed system must be

equipped with a power card. This section describes the supported power card for

the BPN-SAS2-216EL series backplane.

Supported Internal HBA Cables

Use the following cables to create connections between the internal HBA and BPN-

SAS2-216EL 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 BPN-SAS2-216EL backplane

Connecting an Internal HBA to the Backplane

The following section lists the most common cables used to connect the HBA to

the backplane.

Chapter 3 Dual Port and Cascading Congurations

Cascading allows the system to access data at a faster rate by allowing several

backplanes to share resources to reduce latency time.

The rst 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,specicchassismanualsareavailableatwww.supermicro.com.
