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.

Figure 1. Cable routing for four 7mm drives (SATA, without AnyBay drive cage)

Table 1. Cable routing for four 7mm drives (SATA, without AnyBay drive cage)
	From	To
`1`	7mm drives (Drive 0, 2)	Drive power connector 2 `1a` 300mm chassis `1b` 360mm chassis
`2`	7mm drives (Drive 1, 3)	Drive power connector 1
`3`	7mm drives (Drive 0 to 3)	SATA connector (0 to 3)

Figure 2. Cable routing for four 7mm drives (SATA, with AnyBay drive cage)

Table 2. Cable routing for four 7mm drives (SATA, without AnyBay drive cage)
	From	To
`1`	7mm drives (Drive 0 to 3)	Drive power connector 2 `1a` 300mm chassis `1b` 360mm chassis
`2`	7mm drives (Drive 0 to 3)	SATA connector (0 to 3)

Note

When adopting this plan and installing hot-swap drive cage in riser 2, NVMe trayless drives are not supported.

Table 3. Cable routing for four 7mm drives (NVMe)
	From	To
`1`	7mm drives (Drive 0, 2)	Drive power connector 2 `1a` 300mm chassis `1b` 360mm chassis
`2`	7mm drives (Drive 0, 2)	PCIe connector 3
`3`	7mm drives (Drive 1, 3)	Drive power connector 1
`4`	7mm drives (Drive 1, 3)	PCIe connector 2

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.

Table 4. SAS and power cable for 7mm drives
	From	To
`1`	7mm drives (Drive 0 to 3)	Drive power connector 2 `1a` 300mm chassis `1b` 360mm chassis
`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.
