Dell PowerEdge 8x2.5" Backplane (Gen 14) | 94J5V

The Dell 8x 2.5" SAS/SATA Backplane (part number 94J5V) is designed for Dell PowerEdge R440 and R640 servers. It supports up to eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, allowing for flexible storage configurations tailored to various performance and redundancy requirements. This backplane enables hot-swappable drive configurations, facilitating easy maintenance and scalability within the server infrastructure.

Integrating the 94J5V backplane into the server chassis involves connecting it to compatible RAID controllers, such as the Dell PERC H730P or H740P, to manage data redundancy and performance. This setup is particularly beneficial for environments that demand efficient storage solutions, such as virtualization, database management, or high-performance computing tasks. By utilizing the 2.5-inch drive form factor, the backplane supports increased storage density while maintaining optimal airflow and thermal management within the server.
