10 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA backplane

Use this section to understand the cable routing of 10 SAS/SATA front drives for liquid cooling configuration with 10 x 2.5 AnyBay front backplane 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 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 (system board assembly) connectors for onboard configuration.

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).
