EEC1005-UB2 is a generic, easily configurable, True Universal Backplane Management (UBM) device that can be used on hard drive backplanes to provide complete storage enclosure management and reporting to computing host systems using industry standard communication protocols.

Family members are identified with a suffix of UB1 or UB2 in their ordering number, where UB1 represents the part originally ordered as simply EEC1005. UB2 devices incorporate enhancements in their functionality.

EEC1005-UB2 supports a variety of host interfaces to accommodate SAS/SATS/NVMe backplane. The SFF-8654 slimline connector (Host facing Connector) can be used to route SAS signals in which case the HBA will manage SAS/SATA drives, the same connector protocol (physically a different connector) can be used to route PCIe signals in which case the HBA will manage NVME drives. In both cases UBM will be used as management protocol with support of SGPIO as well on SAS Slimline (Configuration dependent).The device supports using U.2 and U.3 Drive facing Connectors. EEC1005-UB2 also supports Multiple Backplanes on a single chassis.Read more
