6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 4 x 2.5'' AnyBay
See this section to understand the cable routing of 6 front SAS/SATA drives and 4 front AnyBay drives with the 6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 4 x 2.5'' AnyBay backplane installed.
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.
