6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 2 x 2.5'' AnyBay + 2 x 2.5'' NVMe
See this section to understand the cable routing of 6 front SAS/SATA drives, 2 front AnyBay drives and 2 front NVMe drives.
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 for onboard configuration
The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and processor board connectors for onboard configuration.
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0 | 1 SATA 0 |
| 2 SAS 1 | 2 SATA 1 | |
| 3 NVMe 2–3, 0–1 | 3 PCIe 1, 2 |
Cable routing with an SFF HBA/RAID adapter
