Returning Merchandise for Service
v
Returning Merchandise for Service
A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required before
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
incurred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper
maintenance of products.
Duringthewarrantyperiod,contactyourdistributorrstforanyproductproblems.

Chapter 1 Guidelines
Chapter 1
Guidelines
This chapter offers guidelines for personal and equipment safety, and notes about
the BPN-SAS3-826A version documented in this manual.
1-1 ESD Safety Guidelines
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent dam-
age to your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures
are generally sufcient 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 card 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 cord before installing or removing any cables from the
backplane.
• Make sure that the backplane is securely and properly installed on the mounting
frame in the chassis to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.

2. CPLD Upgrade Port
The JP27 connector is used only by
manufacturing to upgrade CPLD.
3-5. Mini SAS HD Connectors
The three SAS connectors are used to
connect the SAS drive cables and are
designated JSM1 to JSM3. Each of the
three connectors has four ports for a total
of twelve ports. These twelve ports are
designated SAS#0 - SAS#11. They are also
compatible with SATA drives.

Nojumpersonthisbackplanearecongurablebytheuser.
Explanation of Jumpers
To 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 identied 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.
