Hot-Swap SAS/SATA Backplane
The backplane serves as an interface between the midplane board and the system drives.
The hot-swap backplane provides support for both SAS and SATA hard drives. There are
no hard drive cables that connect to the backplane. All hard drive control signals are
routed from the midplane board, which plugs directly into the backplane.
