10 x 2.5'' AnyBay (Gen 5)
See this section to understand the cable routing of 10 front AnyBay drives with 10 x 2.5'' backplane (Gen 5) installed.
To connect cables for a 7mm drive backplane, refer to 7mm drive backplane.
To connect cables for M.2 drives, refer to M.2 drive backplane.
To connect cables for rear NVMe drives, refer to Rear NVMe backplane cable routing with 10 x 2.5'' AnyBay backplane (Gen 5) installed.
To connect signal cables for a backplane for standard 10 front front AnyBay drives, refer to the following cable routing scenarios depending on your server configuration:
Cable routing for onboard configuration
The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane and processor board connectors for onboard configuration.
