Q & A
a.
What is the function of the backplane?
A: The backplane is the bridge which connects the hard drives and exports the signal to the
motherboard. Also, the backplane provides the LED signals indicating the status of the hard
drives, and alarming when the system temperature is abnormal.
b.
Does the backplane support 6Gb SAS?
A: The InWin IW-RS110-07 is accommodated with 12Gb SAS backplane by default. The 12Gb
SAS connector interface (SFF-8643) is not compatible with 6Gb SAS. InWin provides
OEM/ODM services, so customers may contact InWin sales reps for customization.

, SAS and SATA drives? Can I mix the different types of
drives in an enclosure?
A: The InWin IW-RS110-07 supports 2.5" (15mm) form factor’s SAS/SATA disks. Yet, to reach
the best performance, we recommend following the motherboard or RAID controller
vendors’ instructions.
d.
Does the chassis support SSDs or flash NVMe drives?
A: SAS/SATA and NVMe SSD connections can be attached to the InWin IW-RS110-07. We
recommend customers refer to InWin’s compatibility list to confirm if the SSDs are listed, or
please contact InWin’s sales reps for better reference.
e.
If I don’t need the front cover, can I have the standard handle?
A: The InWin IW-RS110-07 supports both the standard handle and the bezel handle. If you
would like your chassis with a standard metal handle, please contact your local sales reps to
purchase the bezel package.
f.
Can it support small form factor motherboards such as M-ATX and Mini-ITX?
A: The InWin IW-RS110-07 supports motherboards that range from Mini-ITX to EEB. Unless
you would like to mount a customized motherboard, which will not meet Intel’s standard,
you will need to contact InWin’s partners or sales reps for customization services.
g.
Do I need a RAID controller card to connect the backplane?
A: If you would like to construct a solid hardware RAID system, it is required. However,
whether you should use the RAID controller card or not depends on your purpose and
budget. We recommend discussing with InWin’s channel partners for their suggestions.
