mini-SAS connector on the server board or other optionally installed SATA/SAS host
bus adapter.
B – SMBus* Cable Connectors: The backplane includes a 1x5 cable connector used as a
management interface to the server board.
C – SGPIO Cable Connector: The SGPIO connector is a management interface used to control
the hard drive fault LEDs on the backplane. The SGPIO signals are routed through a multi-
connectors cable that is routed to a four port mini-SAS connector on the server board or other
optionally installed SATA/SAS host bus adapter.
D – Power Harness Connector: The backplane includes a 2x2 connector supplying power to the
backplane. Power is routed to the backplane through a power cable harness from the
server board.
5.2.2 Cypress* CY8C22545 Enclosure Management Controller
The backplanes support enclosure management using a Cypress* CY8C22545 Programmable
System-on-Chip (PSoC*) device. The CY8C22545 drives the hard drive activity/fault LED, hard
drive present signal, and controls hard drive power-up during system power-on.
5.3 Fixed 3.5" Hard Disk Support
The drive bay can support either SATA or SAS hard disk drives. Mixing of drive types within the
hard drive bay is not supported. Hard disk drive type is dependent on the type of host bus
controller used, SATA only or SAS. Each 3.5” hard disk drive is mounted to the chassis bay. A
single multi-connector cable is routed from a four port mini-SAS connector on the server board
to each hard disk.
5.4 Optical Drive Support
Systems configured with four 3.5" hard drive bays also include a designated drive bay A to
support a SATA optical drive as illustrated below.
Figure 34. Optical Drive Support
For systems that support eight 2.5" hard drives, the front I/O Panel, which provides video and
USB ports, can be replaced with a SATA optical drive.
A 2x3 pin power connector on the server board labeled ODD/SSD PWR is designed to provide
power to the optical drive. SATA signals for the optical drive are cabled from the white 7-pin
single port SATA connector on the server board.
