10 x 2.5'' AnyBay

See this section to understand the cable routing of 10 front AnyBay drives with the 10 x 2.5'' AnyBay backplane (Gen 4) installed.

To connect cables for a 7mm drive backplane, refer to 7mm drive backplane.

To connect power cables for a backplane for standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives, refer to Cable routing for backplane power.

To connect cables for M.2 drives, refer to M.2 drive backplane.

Cable routing with an SFF HBA/RAID adapter

The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and an SFF HBA/RAID adapter (Gen 3 or Gen 4).
