1.1.2 Chassis Compatibility
Before using this AMC.1-HDD SAS disk, review the specifications of the chassis and
backplane that will house the module to determine the presence of, and any
limitations of, chassis, IPMI bus, and user-defined pin-outs. For example, some
chassis backplanes route certain I/O pins to internal resources such as alarm cards
and drive resources. The AMC.1-HDD SAS disk is intended for an AdvancedTCA
AMC carrier card site that is AMC.1 compliant. It is your responsibility to verify
system compatibility. Failure to do so could result in improper operation or
equipment damage.
1.1.3 Blade Server Compatibility
The AMC.1-HDD SAS disk modules plug into ATCA carrier boards that support a
combination of AMC.1 (PCI Express) and AMC.3 (SAS) storage signaling.
