Questions about this item

Will this E09M backplane fit alongside the existing drive trays in my MD1400 enclosure?

The E09M midplane is engineered specifically for the Dell PowerVault MD1400 and MD1420 chassis, so it aligns with the original drive tray slots and SAS connectors.

How can I verify the 12Gb/s SAS link is active after installing the 2X93X board?

Check the enclosure management interface or RAID controller BIOS; each drive bay should report a 12Gb/s SAS negotiated speed with no errors.

Does the E09M unit ship with mounting screws or drive caddies, or must I order them separately?

The part is supplied as the bare SAS backplane assembly only; mounting hardware and drive caddies are reused from the enclosure or purchased separately.
