E-12 Supported Cascading Conguration
Cascading allows the system to access data at a faster rate by allowing several
backplanes to share resources to reduce latency time.
The rst backplane in a cascaded system requires a motherboard and HBA. Other
servers require a power control card, not a motherboard and HBA.
Other Considerations:
Cascading supports up to one hundred twenty two hard drives•
Use the same cables for all single port congurations•
See page E-12 if your HBA is external to your backplane.•
