6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 2 x 2.5'' AnyBay + 2 x 2.5'' NVMe (liquid cooling)
See this section to understand the cable routing of six front SAS/SATA drives, two AnyBay drives and two front NVMe drives for the liquid cooling configuration.
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 signal cables for a backplane for standard six front SAS/SATA drives, two AnyBay drives and two 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 six SAS/SATA drives and two AnyBay and two 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 0–1 | 3 PCIe 2 |
| 4 NVMe 2–3 | 4 PCIe 1 |
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 0–1 | 2 PCIe 2 |
| 3 NVMe 2–3 | 3 PCIe 1 |
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 0–1 | 2 PCIe 2 |
| 3 NVMe 2–3 | 3 PCIe 1 |
