BPN-SAS-836EL1

The BPN-SAS-836EL1 is a specialized SAS backplane intended for use in server and storage infrastructures that require reliable connectivity between drives and host controllers. As a passive/active interconnect element, its role is to provide a structured, serviceable interface for multiple drives within a chassis.

Because detailed technical specifications are not provided, this description focuses on general benefits typical for SAS backplanes without claiming unverified parameters.

• Infrastructure integration – Designed to operate as a component within a server or storage chassis, simplifying cable routing and drive connectivity compared to direct point‑to‑point wiring.
• Serviceability – Backplane-based layouts typically allow faster drive replacement and clearer physical organization, which can reduce maintenance time and the risk of cabling errors.
• Scalability orientation – By centralizing drive connections on a single board, the backplane can support system designs that plan for higher drive counts and structured expansion, depending on the chassis and controller used.
• Signal path management – SAS backplanes are engineered to maintain controlled signal paths between drives and controllers, which is critical for stable operation in enterprise environments, especially with high‑duty‑cycle workloads.
• Compatibility-driven deployment – Optimal use depends on matching the backplane to a compatible chassis, SAS controller and drive type. Verification of connector types, supported interfaces and power requirements is essential before integration.

Implementation recommendations

• Verify mechanical compatibility with your chassis model, including mounting points and airflow direction.
• Confirm electrical and interface compatibility with your SAS controller(s) and intended drive types (e.g., SAS/SATA), based on official documentation from your hardware vendor.
• Use in environments with adequate cooling and power delivery design, as defined by your server or storage platform specifications.
• Consult vendor or integrator documentation for exact port counts, connector layouts, and any management or monitoring capabilities before deployment.

Without the official datasheet, no specific performance, capacity, or feature claims can be made for the BPN-SAS-836EL1. Always refer to the manufacturer’s documentation and compatibility lists prior to procurement or integration into production systems.
