6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 2 x 2.5'' AnyBay + 2 x 2.5'' NVMe (one processor)
See this section to understand the cable routing of 6 front SAS/SATA drives, 2 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.
To connect signal cables for a backplane for standard 6 front SAS/SATA drives, 2 AnyBay drives and 2 front NVMe 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 connectors and processor board connectors for onboard configuration.
Figure 1. Cable routing for onboard configuration of 6 SAS/SATA drives and 2 AnyBay and 2 NVMe front drives bays
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0 | 1 SATA 0 |
| 2 SAS 1 | 2 SATA 1 | |
| Front BP (NVMe) | 3 NVMe 2–3, 0–1 | 3 PCIe 1, 2 |
Cable routing with an SFF HBA/RAID adapter
The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and an SFF HBA/RAID adapter.
Figure 2. Cable routing for 6 SAS/SATA drives and 2 AnyBay drives and 2 NVMe front drive bays with an 8i or 16i SFF RAID adapter (Gen 4)
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0, SAS 1 | 1 C0 |
| Front BP (NVMe) | 2 NVMe 2–3, 0–1 | 2 PCIe 1, 2 |
Figure 3. Cable routing for 6 SAS/SATA drives and 2 AnyBay drives and 2 NVMe front drive bays with an 8i or 16i SFF RAID adapter (Gen 3)
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0, SAS 1 | 1 C0, C1 |
| Front BP (NVMe) | 2 NVMe 2–3, 0–1 | 2 PCIe 1, 2 |
