Preface
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.

SAS-826A Backplane User’s Guide
Introduction to the SAS-826A Backplane
The SAS-826A backplane has been designed to utilize the most up-to-date technol-
ogy available, providing your system with reliable, high-quality performance.
This manual reflects SAS-826A Revision 1.00, the most current release available at
com for the latest updates, compatible parts and supported configurations.

Chapter 1
SAS-826A 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 SAS-826A backplane.
Disconnect the power cord before installing or removing any cables from the
SAS-826A backplane.
Make sure that the SAS-826A backplane is securely and properly installed on
the motherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.

The activity LED headers, designated JP26
and JP47, are used to indicate the activity
status of each SAS drive. The activity LED
headers are located on the front panel. For the
activity lead headers to work properly, connect
to them using a 10-pin LED cable. This is only
used when the activity LED is not supported
by the hard drive.

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.

I2C and SGPIO Modes and Jumper Settings
This backplane can utilize I2C or SGPIO. SGPIO is the default mode and can be
used without making changes to your jumpers. The following information details
which jumper must be configured to use SGPIO mode or restore your backplane
to I2C mode.
