    SFF-8484 36-Pin to Mini SAS SFF-8087 32-Pin Cable trouble in old Aeon Chassis

    Before AEON was a form of bitcoin it was a system integrator that stuck supermicro motherboards in a chassis Aeon made. Documentation is non existent. My first entry with a server was to buy an Aeon chassis with 8x3.5 drive slots to use for Freenas. I used the system until I outgrew 8 drives and...

    BPN-SAS2-826EL1 Backplane question

    I recently bought a chassis with BPN-SAS2-826EL1 backplane. This system has a X9DRD-7LN4F mother board. It is wired so that both onboard mini-SAS ports are connected from the MB to the backplane. This seems contrary to the BP documentation that says the normal connect is a single mini-SAS in and...
