10 x 2.5'' AnyBay backplane

Use this section to understand the AnyBay backplane cable routing for server model with ten 2.5'' front drives.

To connect power cables for a backplane for standard 2.5'' drives, refer to Backplane power cable routing.

To connector cables of RAID flash power modules, refer to RAID flash power modules.

To connect signal cables for a backplane for standard 10 x 2.5'' front 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 (Gen 3 or Gen 4).

Note
The following illustrations are for Gen 4 adapters. For Gen 3 adapters, the illustration might be slightly different.
