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

Table 1. Mapping between one front AnyBay backplane and processor board for onboard configuration
BackplaneFromTo
Front BP (SAS)1 SAS 01 SATA 0
2 SAS 12 SATA 1
Front BP (NVMe)3 NVMe 2–3, 0–13 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.
