Backplane

Welcome to our online store, where we offer a wide range of backplane solutions for your server or storage needs. A backplane is a circuit board that provides a centralized connection point for various components in a computer system, allowing for easy expansion and customization.

Our selection of backplanes includes options for various form factors, including ATX, E-ATX, and more. We offer solutions for both SAS and SATA interfaces, as well as hot-swappable and non-hot-swappable options. Our backplanes also come in a range of sizes and configurations, from small, compact options for individual servers to larger, more complex options for data centers.

Benefits of Backplanes:

Easy Expansion: 

Backplanes provide a centralized connection point for various components in a computer system, making it easy to expand and customize your system as needed.

Improved Airflow: 

Backplanes can improve the airflow in your system, helping to keep components cool and extending their lifespan.

Improved Cable Management: 

By consolidating cables and connectors onto a single circuit board, backplanes can help to simplify cable management and reduce clutter in your system.

Types of Backplanes:

SAS Backplanes: 

SAS backplanes support Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interfaces, which are commonly used in enterprise storage systems. SAS provides high-speed data transfer rates and supports multiple devices on a single bus.

SATA Backplanes: 

SATA backplanes support Serial ATA (SATA) interfaces, which are commonly used in desktop and consumer storage systems. SATA provides high-speed data transfer rates and is more cost-effective than SAS.

Hot-Swappable Backplanes: 

Hot-swappable backplanes allow you to replace or add components without shutting down the system. This can be useful in mission-critical environments where downtime is not acceptable.

Non-Hot-Swappable Backplanes: 

Non-hot-swappable backplanes require the system to be shut down before components can be added or replaced. These are typically used in non-critical applications where downtime is acceptable.

Components of Backplanes:

Connectors: 

Backplanes feature a variety of connectors, including power connectors and data connectors. These connectors are used to connect various components in the system, such as hard drives, fans, and power supplies.

Circuit Board: 

The circuit board is the backbone of the backplane, providing the centralized connection point for all the system components.

LEDs: 

Some backplanes feature LEDs that indicate the status of various system components, such as hard drives and fans.

Maintenance:

Proper maintenance is key to ensuring that your backplane continues to perform at its best. Here are some tips for maintaining your backplane:

Keep it clean: 

Dust and dirt can accumulate on the backplane, reducing its effectiveness. Regularly clean your backplane to keep it functioning properly.

Check for updates: 

Manufacturers often release updates for backplanes that can improve performance and fix bugs. Be sure to check for updates regularly and apply them as needed.

Replace worn or damaged components: 

Over time, components such as connectors and circuit boards can wear out or become damaged. It's important to replace them promptly to avoid performance issues or hardware damage.

In conclusion, we offer a wide range of backplane solutions to help you customize and expand your server or storage system. Our products are built to high-quality standards for reliability and performance, and we offer competitive pricing and excellent customer service.
