8 x 2.5'' AnyBay drives with 10 x 2.5'' AnyBay backplane (one processor)
Use this section to understand the cable routing for eight AnyBay drives with 10 x 2.5 Anybay backplane and one processor 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.
The following illustration and table show the cabling among the front backplane, the processor board and a Gen 4 SFF re-timer adapter.
