SAS/SATA Mid-Planes
The mid-plane serves as the primary interface between the server board, hot-swap
backplane, and control panel. Two midplanes are offered for this system: a passive SATA
(data cables required), and an active SAS/SATA RAID (no data cables required). The
following diagrams show the location for each connector found on the mid-planes.
