SCS Backplane Management connector
3-pin shielded header
Implements an enclosure management module that is responsible
for providing enclosure management functions for storage
enclosures and server backplanes.
J1A3
Local Battery Backup Unit connector
20-pin connector
Connects the LSIiBBU09 unit directly to the RAID controller.
J1A4
SCS Backplane Management connector
3-pin shielded header
Implements an enclosure management module that is responsible
for providing enclosure management functions for storage
enclosures and server backplanes.
J1B1
Individual PHY and Drive Fault Indication
header
Ports 3 to 0
Ports 7 to 4
2x8-pin header
