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.

Safety Information and Technical Specifications
Overview of the SAS-216EL1/EL2 Backplanes
The SAS-216EL1/EL2 series of backplanes consists of a SAS-216EB backplane
(A) with one or two SAS-216EL daughter cards (B and C) mounted on the rear of
the backplane.
The SAS-216EL1 model consists of the SAS-216EB backplane (A) and one SAS-
216EL daughter card (C), mounted on the right-hand side of the backplane.
The SAS-216EL2 model consists of the SAS-216EB backplane (A), and two
SAS216EL daughter cards (B and C), mounted on the rear of the backplane.
Components on the front side of the SAS-216ELB backplane include 24 SAS con-
nectors and their respecitve activity and failure LEDs. Components on the rear side
of the backplane include jumpers and power and fan connectors. The daughter
card's components include SAS ports, flash and expander chips, and mode select
jumpers.

Safety Information and Technical Specifications
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 compo-
nents.
1-1 ESD Safety Guidelines
Electric Static 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 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 and daughter cards by their 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 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.

8. Backplane Main Power Connectors
The 4-pin connectors, designated PWR1,
PWR2, PWR3, PWR4, PWR5, and PWR6,
provide power to the backplane. See the
table on the right for pin definitions.
7. Fan Connectors
The 3-pin connectors, designated FAN1,
FAN2, and FAN3, provide power to the
fans. See the table on the right for pin
definitions.

2. Expander Chips
This Expander Chip allows the backplane
to support dual ports, cascading, and
failover.
1. Primary Flash Chips
The Primary Flash Chip enhances the back-
plane memory.
3. - 5. SAS Ports
The primary and secondary sets of SAS
ports provide expander features including
cascading and failover From right to left
the ports are Primary 1/2/3 and Second-
ary 1/2/3.
6. EPP Ports
The EPP ports are used for manufacturer
diagnostic purposes only.

Safety Information and Technical Specifications
2-3 Rear Jumper Locations and Pin Definitions
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 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.

Single Host Bus Adapter
In a single host bus configuration, the
backplane connects to one Host Bus
Adapter (HBA).
The SAS-216EL2 backplane has two expanders which allow effective failover and
