8 x 2.5''/10 x 2.5'' U.3 drives with 10 x 2.5'' AnyBay backplane
Use this section to understand the cable routing for eight or ten U.3 drives with 10 x 2.5'' AnyBay backplane and two processors 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 for a backplane for standard 8 x 2.5'' U.3 drives, refer to the following cable routing scenarios depending on your server configuration:
Cable routing with an SFF HBA/RAID adapter
The following illustrations and tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and an 8i or 16i SFF RAID adapter (Gen 4).
Figure 1. Cable routing for 8 x 2.5'' front U.3 drives with an 8i SFF RAID adapter (Gen 4)
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0, SAS 1 | 1 C0 |
Figure 2. Cable routing for 10 x 2.5'' front U.3 drives with an 16i SFF RAID adapter (Gen 4)
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (SAS) | 1 SAS 0, SAS 1 | 1 C0 |
| 2 SAS2 | 2 C1 |
