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 first for any product problems.

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 dam-age 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 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.

1-3 An Important Note to Users

All images and layouts shown in this user's guide are based upon the latest PCB revision available at the time of publishing. The card you have received may or may not look exactly the same as the graphics shown in this manual.

1-4 Introduction to the SAS2-837EL Backplane

The SAS2-837EL backplane has been designed to utilize the most up-to-date tech-nology available, providing your system with reliable, high-quality performance.

This manual reflects SAS2-837EL1 and SAS2-837EL2 Revision 1.00, the most current release available at the time of publication. Always refer to the Supermicro Web site at www.supermicro.com for the latest updates, compatible parts and sup-ported configurations.

The SAS2-837EL1 backplane includes a primary expander chip and primary SAS connectors. The SAS2-837EL2 includes of both primary and secondary expander chips, as well as primary and secondary SAS connectors. The primary and second-ary expanders are redundant, so that if one should fail, the other will take over.

Explanation of JumpersTo 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 identified 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.

Dual Host Bus Adapter

In a dual host bus configura-tion, the backplane connects to two Host Bus Adapters.

Dual Host Bus Adapter Failover

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 con-figuration requires additional MPIO software. Contact your Supermicro authorized repre-sentative for details.Figure3-3:DualHBAFailoverConfigurations

3-3 Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple HBAs

The SAS-837EL2 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, LinuxMPIOsoftwaremustbe installedandcorrectlyconfiguredtoperformthe load balancing and failover tasks.

IMPORTANT: For RAID controllers, redundancy is achieved through port failover. For multiple HBAs MPIO software is required to achieve failover protection.!

CSE-PTJBOD-CB2 Power cardAllows the chassis to be used in a JBOD (Just a Bunch of Drives) system.

Chassis Power CardIn a cascaded configuration, the first chassis includes a motherboard and at least one host bus adapter. Other servers in this enclosed system should include a power card. This section describes the supported power card for the SAS-837EL backplane.

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 an HBA. Other servers require a power control card but no motherboard and no HBA.

Connecting the SAS2-837A and SAS-837EL Backplanes

4-1 Connecting Dual Backplanes

The SAS2-837EL and SAS-837A backplanes are designed to work together. The following configurations show how the SAS2-837EL and SAS-837A may be con-nected together.

Identifying the BackplanesExamine the diagrams below and identify the SAS2-837EL and SAS-837A back-planes. Identify the locations of the SAS ports on each board. Also note the location of the primary I2C connectors, if the optional I2C configuration is desired.
