Table 10    Connector and pin header function description   
For  connecting  to  a  mainboard,  this  SATA  7-pin  connector  is 
applied. A proper cable selection is essential as well to make sure 
good  signal integrity,  which can  be  maintained  for the  whole 
connection path from mainboard HDD devices. 
These two connectors are used to power four 3.5” hard disks, 
connected to this backplane, and each can ensure that all drives 
are supplied with stable power inputs. If the chassis fan is also 
powered  by  fan  header  (JF01),  this  configuration  is  highly 
recommended.   
There  are  two  4-pin  headers  for  the  PWM  fan,  which  is  an 
alternative  solution  that  the  chassis  fan  can  be  powered  and 
monitored by this backplane instead of  a  motherboard. If the 
chassis fan is connected to a mainboard, users need to disable 
the fan monitoring function of backplane by DIP switch (SW1). 
The event LED with red/black wire is located on front bezel of 
SR301 Plus and can be configured through this pin header.   
Buzzer will alarm when fan and temperature become abnormal. 
The settings of on-board hardware monitor can be controlled 
and  configured  through  this  DIP  switch.  It  can  manage  the 
functions of PWM fan & Buzzer On/Off. 
The motherboard can monitor HDD temperature and fan status 
through  this  connector.  However,  the  I2C  connector  on  the 
motherboard side is dependent on vendors, so please contact 
our field application engineers to fully utilize this feature.
