6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 2 x 2.5'' AnyBay + 2 x 2.5'' NVMe backplane
See this section to understand the cable routing of 6 front SAS/SATA drives, 2 AnyBay drives and 2 front NVMe drives.
- For the locations of connectors on the processor board, refer to System-board-assembly connectors.
- To connect power cables for 2.5-inch drive backplanes, refer to Power/Sideband cable routing.
- To connect power and input cables for CFF RAID/HBA adapters, refer to CFF RAID/HBA adapter.
- To connect power and sideband cables for the rear drive backplane, refer to Rear NVMe/SATA drive backplane.
- To connect power and sideband cables for the 7mm drive backplane, refer to 7mm drive backplane.
- To connect cables for RAID flash power modules, refer to RAID flash power modules.
To connect signal cables for a backplane for standard 6 front SAS/SATA drives, 2 AnyBay drives and 2 front NVMe drives, refer to the following cable routing scenarios depending on your server configuration:
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 1. Cable routing for 6 SAS/SATA drives and 2 AnyBay drives and 2 NVMe front drive bays with an 8i SFF RAID adapter (Gen 4)
| From | To |
|---|---|
| 1 SAS 0 and SAS 1 on the front backplane | 1 C0 on the SFF RAID/HBA adapter |
Figure 2. Cable routing for 6 SAS/SATA drives and 2 AnyBay drives and 2 NVMe front drive bays with an 8i SFF RAID adapter (Gen 3)
| From | To |
|---|---|
| 1 SAS 0 and SAS 1 on the front backplane | 1 C0 and C1 on the SFF RAID/HBA adapter |
Cable routing with a CFF HBA/RAID adapter
Figure 3. Cable routing for 6 SAS/SATA drives and 2 AnyBay drives and 2 NVMe front drive bays with an 8i CFF RAID adapter (Gen 3)
| From | To |
|---|---|
| 1 SAS 0 on the front backplane | 1 C0 on the CFF RAID/HBA adapter |
| 2SAS 1 on the front backplane | 2 C1 on the CFF RAID/HBA adapter |
