Overview

 

IN WIN backplanes (without Expander) are high performance economical 8 solution 

for users who has adequate SAS connection ports on motherboard or RAID/HBA card 

to accommodate the disks in the system.

 

 

The passive backplanes support state-of-the art SAS3 12Gbps HDD/SSD and also 

backward compatible with SAS 6Gbps, SATA 6Gps and SATA 3Gps HDD/SSD. 

 

 

Basically, one single SFF-8643 miniSAS connector can support up to 4 disk bays. There 

are several miniSAS connectors and 29-pin high profile disk connectors on the 

backplanes depends on the product model. 

 

 

The backplane is implemented with smart fan control feature to support wide variety 

of fan modules by auto-calibrating the installed fan modules at system boot. This 

feature provides an efficient way to control the thermal heat exhaustion by sensing 

the temperature in the enclosure. The fan module speeds up and down upon the 

temperature rises and falls in the enclosure.

 

 

Along with the smart fan control feature, a system alarming feature is also 

implemented to alert users in case Fan module failure and/or system overheat occurs 

by illuminating the LED indicator and sounding the buzzer at the same time. Users 

can then detect issue and take corresponding actions to resolve the issue according 

to the failure type. As soon the issue disappears the alarm stops.
