Server models with four 3.5-inch SAS/SATA/NVMe 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.

| Cable | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Power cable for front backplane | Power connector on the front backplane | Front-backplane power connector on the system board |
| 2 SAS signal cable for front backplane | SAS 0 connector on the front backplane | C0 connector on the RAID adapter |
| 3 NVMe signal cable for front backplane | NVMe 0 and NVMe 1 connectors on the front backplane | NVMe 0-1 connector and NVMe 2-3 connector on the system board |
| 4 SAS signal cable for rear backplane | SAS connector on the rear backplane | C1 connector on the RAID adapter |
| 5 Power cable for rear backplane | Power connector on the rear backplane | Rear-backplane power connector on the system board |
