Intel® Entry Server Chassis SC5250-E Functional Specifications

Revision 1.02

Intel order number C32881-001

6. Functional Specifications

The hot-swap backplane is responsible for the following system functions:

• Drive Fault Light Control - SATA Specification, revision 1.0 does not support fault

detection. However, when the Intel® RAID Controller SRCS14L (with 2x5 LED cable) is

installed, fault detection is supported. Turning off the green LED does this when a fault

occurs. Note that this is different from previous generations where an amber LED would

signify a fault condition. If a different type of SATA controller is used, fault light control

is not supported. The RAID Controller SRCS14L provides a 2x5 LED header, which is

connected between the backplane and drive fault lights. Currently, no other SATA

controllers on the market provide this 2x5 LED header.

• Drive Presence Detection - Detects drive presence and makes this information

available by turning on the green LED. Note that this is also different from previous

generation backplanes. This functionality works regardless of which SATA controller is

being used.

• Drive Power Control - Unlike previous generation backplanes, power is always applied

to slots; hot swap functionality is provided via a mating drive connector. This is

accomplished by using different length pins on both the drive side and the backplane. A

resistor on the pre-charge pins for both the 12V and 5V rails limits the in-rush current.

6.1 Hot Swappable Controller (HSC) Hardware Configurations

There are two possible configurations (“Primary” and “Secondary”) available for the SATA

backplane on the Server Chassis SC5200. There is no differentiation between backplanes,

however, and from a user’s perspective, all drives are treated in the same manner as if they

were connected directly to the controller, thereby making the backplane appear transparent.
