7mm trayless drives
See this topic to learn how to do the cable routing corresponding to the system configuration.
7mm SATA drives
Follow the cable routing plan corresponding to the planned configuration.
Without AnyBay drive cage

From | To | |
1 | 7mm drives (Drive 0, 2) | Drive power connector 2
|
2 | 7mm drives (Drive 1, 3) | Drive power connector 1 |
3 | 7mm drives (Drive 0 to 3) | SATA connector (0 to 3) |
With AnyBay drive cage

From | To | |
1 | 7mm drives (Drive 0 to 3) | Drive power connector 2
|
2 | 7mm drives (Drive 0 to 3) | SATA connector (0 to 3) |
7mm NVMe drives
Note
When adopting this plan and installing hot-swap drive cage in riser 2, NVMe trayless drives are not supported.

From | To | |
1 | 7mm drives (Drive 0, 2) | Drive power connector 2
|
2 | PCIe connector 3 | |
3 | 7mm drives (Drive 1, 3) | Drive power connector 1 |
4 | PCIe connector 2 |
7mm SAS drives with hardware RAID adapter
Figure 4. SAS and power cable for 7mm drives


Note
- The RAID adapter must be installed in Slot 6 of Riser 1.
- Connect 1a or 1b first, proceed to install Riser 1 (see Install half-length adapters and riser assemblies), and connect 2.
From | To | |
1 | 7mm drives (Drive 0 to 3) | Drive power connector 2
|
2 | 7mm drives (Drive 0 to 3) | C0 connector on RAID adapter (PCIe Slot 6) |
Note
When routing cables along the side of the drive cage, make sure to route the 2 power cable into the clips before 1 signal cable.
