Rack-mount 2U FANTEC SRC-2012X07-12G/6G SSI CEB SATA SAS Hot-swap backplane

The FANTEC SRC-2012X07-12G/6G 2U rack-mount drive backplane is a front-access module designed for SSI CEB chassis. It accepts multiple 3.5" or 2.5" SATA and SAS drives (depending on drive tray and chassis configuration) and provides hot-swap capability to streamline maintenance in server and storage systems. The backplane supports high-speed serial connections and centralized drive power and data routing for installations where quick drive replacement and reliable connectivity are required.

Advantages

This backplane consolidates drive connections into a single front-access assembly, reducing cable clutter and simplifying service procedures. Hot-swap support enables replacement or removal of drives without powering down the system, minimizing downtime. The product is engineered for compatibility with SSI CEB form-factor chassis and offers robust electrical and mechanical interfaces suitable for continuous operation in data center and enterprise environments.

Подходит для

• Enterprise servers and storage arrays with SSI CEB chassis
• Data center racks requiring front-access drive servicing
• Environments where hot-swap drive replacement is needed
• Systems using mixed SATA and SAS drives

Key specifications

• Form factor: 2U rack-mount front-access backplane designed for SSI CEB chassis
• Drive interface support: SATA and SAS protocols
• Hot-swap capability: supports drive insertion and removal while powered
• Drive bay type: supports multiple front-mounted drive trays (3.5" or 2.5" depending on chassis/tray)
• Data connections: high-speed serial lanes compatible with SATA/SAS signaling
• Power distribution: centralized drive power routing through backplane connectors
• Mechanical features: rack-oriented mounting and guide alignment for drive trays

How to use

Install the backplane into a compatible 2U SSI CEB chassis following the chassis manufacturers mechanical mounting points and secure it with the provided fasteners. Connect the chassis power supply lines and host data cables from the motherboard or RAID controller to the backplanes connectors, ensuring correct pin alignment. Populate drive trays with SATA or SAS drives as required, slide them into the front bays until they engage the backplane connectors, and verify drive recognition in the system BIOS or storage controller utility. For replacement, eject the drive tray latch and slide the drive out while the system remains powered, then insert the replacement tray and confirm drive detection.

Рекомендации по использованию

Use compatible drive trays and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling drives and the backplane. Verify controller firmware and driver support for mixed SATA/SAS configurations and confirm adequate cooling and power capacity in the 2U chassis to maintain stable operation.
