6 x 2.5'' SAS/SATA + 2 x 2.5'' AnyBay + 2 x 2.5'' NVMe backplane
See this section to understand the cable routing of 6 front SAS/SATA drives, 2 front AnyBay drives and 2 front NVMe drives.
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 the signal cables, refer to the following cable routing scenario:
Cable routing with an SFF HBA/RAID adapter
The following tables show the mapping relationship between backplane connectors and an SFF HBA/RAID adapter.
Figure 1. Cable routing for 6 SAS/SATA drives, 2 AnyBay drives, and 2 NVMe drive bays with an 8i SFF RAID/HBA adapter (Gen3 or Gen 4)
| Backplane | From | To |
|---|---|---|
| Front BP (NVMe) | 1 NVMe 0–1, NVMe 2–3 | 1 PCIe connectors 7, 8, and 9 |
| Front BP (SAS) | 2 SAS 0, SAS 1 | 2
