10 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA (one processor)

See this section to understand the cable routing of 10 front SAS/SATA drives with the 10 x 2.5 AnyBay backplane (Gen 4) installed.

To connect cables for a 7mm drive backplane, refer to 7mm drive backplane.

To connect power cables for a backplane for standard 2.5'' or 3.5'' drives, refer to Cable routing for backplane power.

To connect cables for M.2 drives, refer to M.2 drive backplane.

To connect cables for a CFF RAID adapter, refer to CFF RAID adapter

To connect signal cables for a backplane for standard 10 x 2.5 SAS/SATA front drives, refer to the following cable routing scenarios depending on your server configuration:

• Cable routing for onboard configuration

• Cable routing with an SFF HBA/RAID adapter

• Cable routing with a CFF RAID adapter

Cable routing for onboard configuration

The following illustrations and tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and system board connectors for onboard configuration.

The following figure illustrates the cable routing for the configuration of 10 front SAS/SATA drives bays. Connections between connectors: 1 ↔ 1, 2 ↔ 2, 3 ↔ 3, ... n ↔ n.

Table 1. Mapping between one front AnyBay backplane and system board for onboard configuration

Backplane	From	To
Front BP (SAS)	1 SAS 0, SAS 1	1 SATA connector 2

Cable routing with an SFF HBA/RAID adapter

The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and a 16i SFF HBA/RAID adapter (Gen 3 or Gen 4).

Cable routing with a CFF RAID adapter

The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and an 8i or 16i CFF 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.
