Server models with twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap drives
Use this section to understand the cable routing for server models with twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap drives.
Figure 1. Cable routing for server models with twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap drives and 16i adapter
| Cable | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SAS signal cable* | SAS 0 and SAS 1 connectors on the backplane | HBA/RAID adapter installed in PCIe slot 4:
|
| 2 SAS signal cable* | SAS 2 connector on the backplane | HBA/RAID adapter installed in PCIe slot 4:
|
| 3 Power cable | Power connector 1 on the backplane | Backplane power connector 1 on the system board |
| 4 Power cable | Power connector 2 on the backplane | Backplane power connector 2 on the system board |
Note
*When Gen 4 HBA/RAID adapter is installed, ensure you use Gen 4 SAS signal cables (ThinkSystem SR550 3.5" SAS/SATA 12-Bay X40 RAID Cable Kit).
