This is a Dell PowerEdge R740 16-bay x 2.5" 12Gb/s SAS/SATA Backplane, featuring 2x SFF-8643 Connectors, and includes a metal cage (4-in-1) (P/N: HMJG5, 0HMJG5, 9WGTD, 09WGTD, WH2D1, 0WH2D1, 1HGDK, 6053B1284801). This crucial component is designed for the Dell PowerEdge R740 rack server, enabling the installation and connection of up to sixteen 2.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives or solid-state drives.
The backplane serves as the intermediary between your drives and the server's RAID controller or HBA. With two SFF-8643 connectors, it supports high-density, multi-lane connections, typically linking to a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller for maximum data throughput. The 12Gb/s (SAS3) data transfer rate ensures that your drives operate at their peak performance, crucial for demanding applications like virtualization, databases, and high-performance storage. The integrated metal cage (often referred to as a 4-in-1 design due to supporting multiple 2.5" drives within a single frame) provides structural integrity, protects the drives, and aids in EMI shielding. This genuine Dell backplane is essential for configuring the storage subsystem of your PowerEdge R740, offering a scalable and high-performance solution.
