Safety Precautions
Before getting started, please read the following important cautions:
All cautions and warnings on the equipment or in the manuals should be noted.
Most electronic components are sensitive to electrical static discharge, therefore, be
sure to ground yourself at all times when installing the internal components. Use a
grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in static-shielded devices.
Grounding wrist straps can be purchased in any electronic supply store.
Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must,
only a trained technician should do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are
sensitive to static electricity. Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an
unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to
discharge any static electricity on your body.
Place this equipment on a reliable surface when install. A drop or fall could cause
injury.
Please keep this equipment from away humidity.
Do not leave this equipment in an environment unconditioned, out of operation or
storage temperature range may damage the equipment.
Never pour any liquid into ventilation openings This could cause fire or electrical
shock.
Make sure the voltage of the power source is within the specification on the label
when connecting the equipment to the power outlet. The current load and output
power of loads shall be within the specification.
This equipment must be connected to reliable grounding before using.
Place the power cord out of the way of foot traffic. Do not place anything over the
power cord. The power cord must be rated for the product, voltage and current
marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the
cord should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the product.
If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect the equipment from mains to
avoid being damaged by transient over-voltage.
Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, only qualified service personnel
should open the equipment.
If one of the following situations arise, the equipment should be checked by service
personnel:
9The power cord or plug is damaged.
9Liquid has penetrated the equipment.
9The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
9The equipment does not work well or will not work according to its user‘s
manual.
vi
9The equipment has been dropped and/or damaged.
9The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
9Please disconnect this equipment from the AC outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid or detergent for cleaning. The use of a moisture sheet or cloth is
recommended for cleaning.

1.2 Unpacking list
Before removing the subsystem from the shipping carton, visually inspect the physical
condition of the shipping carton. Exterior damage to the shipping carton may indicate that the
contents of the carton are damaged. If any damage is found, do not remove the components；
contact the dealer where the subsystem was purchased for further instructions. Before
continuing, first unpack the subsystem and verify that the contents of the shipping carton are
all there and in good condition.
The package contains the following items：
■ One set with HDD tray x 4 (Shipping without HDD installed)
■ Mounting screws x 16
■ Jumper x 2
Note：Inspect the shipping cartons for evidence of physical damage. If a shipping carton
appears damaged, request that the carrier’s agent be present when the carton is opened.
Keep all contents and packing material for the agent’s inspection.

1.5 SGPIO and SES II Support via Sideband Signals of 36-pin mini SAS
The backplane is designed with one 36-pin mini SAS 4i connector which includes
sideband input for LED control. See Table 3 for the pin assignment of the sideband inputs.
The sideband on this product supports SGPIO (SFF8485).
SGPIO
SGPIO currently supports the behavior of HDD Activity and Fault LEDs. The
implementation of SGPIO is vender specific its SGPIO behavior. The HBA, RAID card, or
M/B has to implement SGPIO following SFF8448 pin assignment.
Please check with your HBA/RAID card/MB vendor for details.
Please check with your AIC/Xtore contact window for the latest support of HBA.
(Some HBAs do not supportActivity LED even they use SGPIO)
The pin assignment of the Sideband inputs follows SFF-8448 specifications.
