| A backplane is a physical board that is typically integrated to the backend of an enclosure. |
| Eventually, standards emerged, the backplane became the backbone of the enterprise, and the islands of information began to join. |
| For the first time, a single backplane will support the deployment of both enterprise and desktop disk drives. |
| It is an 80 pin connector that is designed for drives that plug into a SCSI backplane. |
| Today, many backplane manufacturers develop a backplane for SCSI drives and a separate backplane for ATA drives. |
| I believe the cabling should be the same and, if you have a backplane there, that interface would remain the same. |
