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.  
micro.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 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 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 SAS2-826EL series backplane.  
Make sure that the backplane is properly and securely on the motherboard to  
prevent damage to the system due to power outages.

1-3 An Important Note to Users  
All images and layouts shown in this user's guide are based upon the latest back-  
plane 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 SAS2-826EL Backplane  
The SAS2-826EL 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 SAS2-826EL Revision 1.01, the most current release available  
cro.com for the latest updates, compatible parts and supported configurations.  
1-5 Overview of the SAS2-826EL1/EL2 Backplanes  
The SAS2-826EL1 and SAS2-826EL2 model backplanes are identical, except that  
the SAS2-826EL2 backplane has duplicate secondary components which are not  
found on the SAS2-826EL1. The SAS2-826EL2 is divided into a two sections, with  
the primary components on the right side of the board and the secondary compo-  
nents on the left.

Connector  
Pins  
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.

3-3 Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple HBAs  
The SAS2-826EL 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,  
Linux MPIO software must be installed and correctly configured to perform  
the load balancing and failover tasks.  
Dual Host Bus Adapter

In a dual host bus configuration, the

SAS2-826EL Series Backplane User's Guide  
3-5 Supported Cascading Configuration  
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 HBA. Other  
servers require a power control card, not a motherboard and HBA.
