The Supermicro 2U Hyper A+ Server (AS -2125HS-TNR) can run in a 24 bay NVMe mode or in a 24 bay SATA mode (as well as other modes). Mine is configured in the 24 NMVe mode, but I want to change it to the 24 SATA. The manual for this computer shows how the connections should be made between the motherboard and the backplane for each mode. However, I can not find a manual for the backplane (BPN-NVME5-HS219N-S24). Does anyone know if the jumpers on the backplane need to be changed to support SATA mode better?

When I disconnect the NVMe cables and connect the SATA cables and the i2c cable, I can get it recognize the SATA drives, but I lose hot-swap capabilities.

Besides the cabling and the JSATA1 and JSATA2 jumpers, is there anything that need to be changed to convert to SATA mode?

Any information or a copy of the backplane manual would be appreciated!
