6.2.1 3.5” Drive Hot-Swap Backplane Overview
Systems with 8 or 12 drive configurations have their own unique backplane. Both 8 and 12 drive backplanes
share identical features. The following will be used to describe the features of both backplanes. Differences
between the two will be noted.
The backplanes mount to the back of the drive bay assembly.
On the front side of each back plane are mounted eight or twelve hard disk drive interface connectors, each
providing both power and I/O signals to attached hard disk drives.
On the backside of each backplane are several connectors. The following illustration identifies each.
