Thanks Will,
I thought it might be an i2c interface port to the psu, but obviously much
simpler.
I'll probably use a small picaxe micro, since I have a few here & have used
them before.
I used them to 'translate' the replacement fans clock pulse to what the
monitoring circuit needed in a few V2

Will,
sorry for picking an old thread, but you mentioned a psu monitor to supplement
the CSE-PTJBOD-CB1.
I have two of these and am interested in your design.
Oddly, the LSI backplane chipset supports 2 x i2c busses that Supermicro didn't
make use of for monitoring the psu's.
Mark.

The LSI card is not SATA framework. I've the impression drive

LSI 3442E-R. It's connected through a Supermicro cable, CBL-0168L, so
it can be attached via an external cable.

I'm confused, I though expanders only worked with SAS disk, and SATA disks
took an entire SAS port. c

Sorry for these questions, I seem to be having a tough time locating
relevant information on the web.
