This section provides cable routing information for the 7mm drives.
For the locations of connectors on the processor board, refer to System-board-assembly connectors.
The server supports one of the following 7mm drive backplanes:
Figure 1. SATA cable routing
| From | To |
|---|
| 1 Power connector on the 7mm drive backplane | |
| 2 Signal port on the 7mm drive backplane | 2 PCIe connector 9 on the system board assembly |
Figure 2. NVMe cable routing
| From | To |
|---|
| 1 Power connector on the 7mm drive backplane | |
| 2 Signal connector on the 7mm drive backplane | 2 M.2/7mm backplane signal connector on the system board assembly |
Figure 3. RAID cable routing (with a Gen 3/ Gen 4 8i SFF RAID adapter)
| From | To |
|---|
| 1 Power connector on the 7mm drive backplane | |
| 2 Signal port on the 7mm drive backplane | 2 C0 connector on the SFF RAID adapter note |
The SFF RAID adapter here can be installed in slot 1 or slot 2.
Figure 4. Cable routing for 7mm RAID NVMe 2-Bay backplanes
| From | To |
|---|
| 1 Power connector on the 7mm drive backplane | |
| 2 Signal connector on the 7mm drive backplane | 2 M.2/7mm backplane signal connector on the system board assembly |
Figure 5. Cable routing for 7mm RAID SATA/NVMe 2-Bay backplanes
| From | To |
|---|
| 1 Power connector on the 7mm drive backplane | |
| 2 Signal connector on the 7mm drive backplane | 2 M.2/7mm backplane signal connector on the system board assembly |
