SC847J SAS2 Chassis Manual
E-2
E-3 SC847J SAS2 E16 Series JBOD Chassis
Each SC847J SAS2 E16 series JBOD chassis contains two expander backplanes,
forty-five 3.5” drives (SAS or SATA) and a PTJBOD card. The PTJBOD card drives
the chassis LEDs and fans. See the CSE-PTJBOD-CB2 section below for details.
The content of this appendix will focus on how this chassis can be configured both
internally and externally.
There are two SAS2 backplanes that are used in the SC847J SAS2 E16 series.
BPN-SAS2-846EL1/EL2 and BPN-SAS2-847EL1/EL2. More detail on these two
backplanes and how you can internally connect them will be discussed in the back-
plane appendices of this manual. For external connectivity see page E-6.
It’s also very important to follow Supermicro’s Expander/HDD Compatibility list which
is published on Supermicro's website. All the components in the compatibility list
have been qualified and are recommended by Supermicro. Although components
outside of the compatibility list might work, they will not be supported by Supermicro.
See www.supermicro.com for the latest list. This document will focus on the single
expander version.

please see section 3.
It’s also very important to follow SMCI’s “Expander/HDD compatibility” list which is
published on SMCI’s web site. All the components in the compatibility list have been
qualified and are recommended by SMCI. Although components outside of the
compatibility list might work but they will not be supported by SMCI. See
