Server models with four 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives
Use this section to understand the connectors on the backplane and internal cable routing for server models with four 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives.
Figure 1. Connectors on the backplane for four 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives


1 SAS 0 connector | 2 Power connector |
Server models with four 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drives and rear drive assembly
Note
The cable routing illustration is based on the scenario that the rear hot-swap drive assembly is installed. Depending on the model, the rear hot-swap drive assembly might not be available on your server.
