10 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA backplane
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 power cables for a backplane for standard 2.5'' or 3.5'' drives, refer to Backplane power cable routing.
To connector cables of RAID flash power modules, refer to RAID flash power modules.
To connect cables for a CFF RAID adapter, refer to CFF RAID adapter
To connect signal cables, refer to the following cable routing scenarios:
Cable routing for onboard configuration
The following illustrations and tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and system board connectors for onboard configuration.
Figure 1. Cable routing for onboard configuration of 10 x 2.5 SAS/SATA front drives
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0, SAS 1 | 1 PCIe connector 7 |
| 2 SAS 2 | 2 PCIe connector 9 |
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).

|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0, SAS 1 | 1 C0 |
| 2 SAS 2 | 2 C1 | |
| Rear BP (SAS) | 2 SAS | 2 C1 |
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.
