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.

Preface
Overview of the BPN-SAS2-216EL1/EL2 Backplanes

The BPN-SAS2-216EL1/EL2 model backplanes consists of a BPN-SAS2-216EB
backplane (A) with one or two SAS2-216EL daughter cards (B and C) mounted on
the rear of the backplane.
The BPN-SAS2-216EL1 model consists of the BPN-SAS2-216EB backplane (A)

and one BPN-SAS2-216EL daughter card (B), mounted on the right-hand side of
the backplane.
The BPN-SAS2-216EL2 model consists of the BPN-SAS2-216EB backplane (A),

and two BPN-SAS-216EL daughter cards (B and C), mounted on the rear of the
backplane.
Components on the front side of the BPN-SAS2-216EB backplane include twenty-

four SAS connectors 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.

Chapter 1 Safety Guidelines
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 damage
to your system, it is important to handle the backplane 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 the
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.

3. System temperature over 45º Celsius.
Early versions of Supermicro SAS2 backplanes come equipped with a buzzer. New
versions of these backplanes no longer support a buzzer. We recommend using
the LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager or a similar management application to trigger
an email alert instead.

3-3 Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple HBAs

The BPN-SAS2-216EL 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.
SAS HBA
Dual Host Bus Adapter
In a dual host bus configuration, the
SAS HBA
backplane connects to two HBAs.

In a cascaded configuration, the first chassis includes a motherboard and at least
one host bus adapter. Other servers in this enclosed system must be equipped
with a power card. This section describes the supported power card for the BPN-

Figure 3-9: Dual Internal Host Bus Adapter
Supported Internal HBA Cables

Use the following cables to create connections between the internal HBA and SAS2-
216EL model backplane. The cables required depend upon the HBA connector.
Cable Name: iPass to 4-Lane

Part #: CBL-0117L
Length: 46 cm (18 inches)
Description: This cable has one SFF-8484 (32-pin) connector at one end and one
iPass (SFF-8087/Mini-SAS) connector (36-pin) at the other. This cable connects from
the HBA to the SAS2-216EL backplane
IMPORTANT: See Section 3-3 of this manual, Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple
HBAs for important information on supported configurations.
3-5
Cable Name: iPass (Mini-SAS) to iPass (Mini-SAS)

Part #: CBL-0108L-02 Length: 39 cm (15 inches)
Description: This cable has an iPass (SFF-8087/Mini-SAS) connector (36-pin) at each
end. It connects from the HBA to the BPN-SAS2-216EL model backplane.
3-6
Connecting an External HBA to the Backplane

This backplane supports external host bus adapters. In this configuration, the HBA
and the backplane are in different physical chassis. This allows a JBOD (Just a
Bunch Of Drives) configuration from an existing system.

3-5 Supported Cascading Configurations

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 with no motherboard and no HBA. For
more information, specific chassis manuals are available at www.supermicro.com.
