Abstract
A backboard applied in an electronic device includes a storage extended chip, a serial attached small computer system interface (SAS) hard disk drive (HDD) connector, a convertor, a first election unit, and a second election unit. An input pin of the convertor is coupled to a plurality of input pins of the SAS HDD, to receive the data signal from the SAS HDD connector. The first election unit is coupled to a first ground pin of the SAS HDD connector, enable pins of the convertor and the storage extended chip. The second election unit is coupled to the first ground pin of the SAS HDD connector and an enable pin of the storage extended chip. When the SAS HDD connector is coupled to a SATA HDD or a SAS HDD, the storage extended chip operates and receives a SAS signal from the SAS HDD connector.
